RE: Audi: Keith flames Cindy

[Mike Sylvester <Mike.Sylvester@aptis.com>]

	A little harsh from a guy who's nickname is Captain Chaos.

	I let him drive my 100CS Q and he curbed the right rear wheel
	and blew out the tire.  

	I will say he does take responsibility for his chaotic actions.
	He bought me a new one without discussion.
	He knew he was in the wrong and did the right thing to fix it.

	94 100CS Q   		with 1 new tire
	86 5KCS TQ
