Re: Insurance called me (WAS MY QUATTRO SHOWERED WITH

Christian,

Don't sign nuthin' until you've had good mechanical, medical, and legal
advice.  This insurance feller is working for 7-11 - NOT YOU!!!  He is
trying to minimize the impact of your gas bath on 7-11.  He really doesn't
give a tinker's d*mn about you and your problems and/or potential problems.
If he can persuade you to sign a release then 7-11 is off the hook for any
other damages as yet undiscovered.

I understand that you're not trying to screw anyone (and in the same
situation, I would probably feel the same as you), but don't let them screw
you just because you're a nice guy.  Go ahead and talk to your Audi rep (and
other advisers) without the 7-11 guy.  It's your car, your clothes, and your
health.  Until it comes time that you feel comfortable about the agreement
you are about to make with them, your actions are none of their business as
long as you don't take steps to aggravate the damages.
