i am lucky to be alive today... this eve, around 4:30 pm, on my way back from the Campbelltown Pa. VW show, on rt 22, in my '84 Audi 5000 turbo (which i have lovingly owned for 11 years) someone pulled out in front of me at 55mph, hit me dead on, sent me up on 2 wheels, and spinning around until i came to a rest backwards against the guardrail... the whole car is totalled. i am alive to write this because i was wearing my seatbelt. it really makes me think how lucky i am... all those years of maintenance, and care - *poof* gone, in a split second. sad thing is, the engine still runs... and of course the insurance company will not give me hardly anything for the car...so i will most likely part it out.. (car WAS in excellent shape) i will post pictures of the damage soon...the extentof the damage makes it look like there were fatalities... just thankful to be alive... wear your seatbelts, they really DO work!! chris "Ex" '84 audi 5000s turbo , sapphire, w/ grey/tan leather AT, and "Fuchs" wheels need any parts??
