CR hypocricy
Today, one of my local news station (the same one that reported the
rising gas tax yesterday) was reporting the reliability of SUVs. Anyway,
the report included an interview with one of those Consumer Report dudes.
While I was glancing in feigned interest -- lo and behold! Behind this
seated Consumer-R Guy is a huge poster of a silver Audi A4 (it looked like
this was his office) coming at him. Blasphemy or what!?
By the way, does this mean Audi of Am. distributes free posters?
Oh, another fun point. Several days ago, this news station was reporting
the freezing drizzle that was happening in Atlanta. There, there was a
scene in which people were driving around 60mph slamming into each other
(so, do they know how to drive or what?), driving oblivious to the
weather. Anyway, while watching closely, I can see MB S-class, BMW
7-series, Cadi STS or SLS, and several others just slammed into the jam
(outch! This is HELLVA expensive pile-up). And surprisingly, a car just
darted and swerved out -- and I think it was either 4K or a 5K! Says
something about the skill of average Audi drivers, eh?
