Default Aaaaarrrrrghhhhhhhh. The dealer crashed my car!

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/439/wreck_diagram.jpg"></center><p>Sorry,

false alarm. Thought I revisit that infamous day, since about 100,000 posts have been deleted.

I'll just have to post those pics again if as a matter of record if they don't find those posts.

But for the rubberneckers, here, enjoy!

Default As I posted earlier though, when I started reading Jim Aras talking about an "incident" I started to

get worried for him again. Then I looked at the date, and realized everything was okay... 8-)

Default Dude, it's the real thing, taken from a news chopper....Here's a quick synopsis for you latecomers..

1. Jyoteen brings car in for brake rotor change (after track event)
2. Technican takes Jyoteen's car out on "test" drive (CHP reports later tech doing over 100 mph)
3. Tech is involved in accident, SUV involved, SUV rolls
4. Tech walks out of car, no airbags deployed
5. Jyoteen sees the car for first time via news footage
6. They close down freeway for 4 hours
7. Insurance declares car totalled
8. Jyoteen gets a brand new Imola 2001 replacement car
9 Jyoteen stores Imola replacement because Avant is on order
10. Avant comes in, Jyoteen gives the Imola Sedan to dealer
11. Pete (NASA Racer) buys Jyoteen's Sedan from dealer
12. Jyoteen gets his Imola Avant at end of January of this year
13. Tech is fired.

Default Now I know why I was worried about the 30 unaccounted for miles after my last servicing

Man, Jyoteen, I was not around when this happened, but that is one messed up turn of events...
