4000 Quattro Problems...

[Brendan/Coolian <coolian@thecia.net>]

	While on my way up to Huw's yesterday, I was puttering along on the upper 
part of 93N going through New Hampshire when I hit a rather large lump in 
the road.  I was doing about 70 and as soon as I came down, I noticed a 
slight drop in power....I looked down, and the car had shut off!
I didn't notice if the wheel locked, but I was in a rush to get the key 
turned so I didn't smack into the wall....I hit a curb and skidded out, and 
hurt the hell out of my back.  So, I just got out of the hospital with some 
strained pieces and now I'm wondering...What the hell happened?

I would assume, looking at it from a standpoint of someone who is not that 
mechanical, that with a lowered, stiffened car, the shock of the bump was 
so great that some connection somewhere momentarily lost it's connection 
with whatever was keeping the car vrooming along.

Any ideas?
