soon not forgetten, but not because she wasn't driving an Audi.....Are we not
the media in this case?  Hounding and hounding, yet never coming to an
acurate conclusion and reaching points which are not only speculative, but
one sided and ignorant sounding.  My friend recently passed away after
striking a telephone pole at about 40 mph.  This same conversation came up

safely at high speeds on roads not meant for high speed.  Fact.  Point in

death a month.  But the cars were state of the art!  Why did Senna die?
 Would he have died if he were driving a Ferrari?  Let this one go down,
guys.  Please, in respect.

I'm pretty sure that the big benzs have all the 8 bags.  And you can't say
that AWD would have helped...It may have, but we don't know the conditions.
