Haudi,

Touching some serious wood here, and hoping to not jinx anyone:

Is it just luck that from all these incidents, we haven't seen a serious
injury, or is this a big part of why we drive Audis in the first place?
Great engineering to try to keep you _out_ of the wreck, more great

Happy Holidays and continued safety,

James
