Re: Audi



Scream, "OIL PAN!!!"
hehe...

But on a serious note.  I feel that AoA should pay.  If they didn't make the
oil pan so brittle, then it wouldn't break so easily, right?  If this happen
to many cars, then they should replace it which a metal that bend slightly.
I'm not sure if anyone remembers when the first Audi 90 came out.  They had a
problem with the oil pan breaking(AFTER SOMETHING HIT IT) and all the oil
would go on the engine and cause an engine fire.  It was quicky recalled.

 something, and blame it on a design flaw, is absurd. 
 
 I have news for you, Cindy - all cars (those things with 4 wheels that you
 obviously only put gas into) - all have these reservoirs to collect the
 engine oil for recirculation. These reservoirs are called "Oil Pans", and
 they are all on the bottom of engines. That's right kids, it is simply part
 of how an engine is built. Can you say "Oil Pan". I bet you can.
 
 These excerpts must be from the absolute dumbest person who is licensed to
 drive:
 "I was informed that I had hit something to fracture the oil pan... I see
 this as a design flaw and/or I am not a very good driver."
 
 Hey Cindy, I think drunk drivers should sue the car manufacturer, because
 they didn't prepare for them to hit a tree after drinking a 12-pack.
 Actually, maybe they should sue the owner of the land where the tree grows,
 because they should have prepared for you to hit the tree.
 
 Hey Kerry, I am not sure where you work, but I pity your company for the
 intellect of some of the employees there... >>
