Re: Crash Test Results for Older Audis, and a Dodge Colt

["Joseph Rae" <quattro@ptinet.net>]

Having been in an accident in a 4000, I can say that it survived very well,
though it was totalled. Also having seen pictures of the audi 5000 in a
really bad accident where the driver walked away with out harm, I think that
those tests are probably incorrect or scewed in some way.
