I agree completely with the safety of the coupes.  I was hit by a Ford
Bronco that was going 45 mph.  It nearly broadsided me and it knocked mi
into a side street.  I barely felt a thing and although the outside of my
door was heavily damaged, not on bit of it entered the driver's cockpit.  I
honestly dont know what would have happened to me if i were in any other
car.  Thank's Audi. Now the coupe is running fine with very few if any
adverse effects due to the accident.  The only problem is that the paint
htat was applied is very low gloss and has very little reflective ability.
What is the average cost of a decent paint job that i could get for this
car.  It is red if that makes any difference.  Thanks again.
