I got into a car accident on Tuesday. Or should I say someone got into a car accident with me.  My poor car is tore up.  But I refuse to believe that its that bad. 

But what I am embarrassed about it that I have worked in insurance for over 10 years now.  I have handled all types of claims. Property damage, injury claims, medical bills, commercial excess claims involving everything from product defect to employee driving drunk. And at the scene of my accident I did not get the driver's insurance information.  (inset gasp face here)

Now granted I knew that the police were getting all the information.  I also know I live in a decent neighbor and so this person most likely wasn't some derelict without insurance.

But I was pissed. It was chilly and drizzling and my car was not driveable. Her car was flipped around in the road and blocking traffic. I had to think that they were going to tow my car and where was I gonna send it. I had to worry because I have insurance but I didnt have the most up to date card.  So the last thing I did was talk to her. 

But it worked out. She has insurance with State Farm actually. One of my former employers. So I feel much better.

I just have to remember should I get into an accident again get the insurance information at the scene!!

Yea I split the post because I cannot have two pictures of two sick Audi's together competing in a post.

So we have QT gas out here.  its considered the cheap gas.  You know, not the Shell, Exxon or BP.  Well sometimes name brands don't make sense and when it comes to gas, it doesn't.  But I often wonder if I am making a mistake by putting QT gas in my baby.  I mean they recommend only premium and I have slipped up on that plenty of times.  I know its bad, but shoot a Benz owner told me once "hey it does not matter to regular it up at times", as he filled up on regular.  Benz can do it, Audi can do it.  But, I still wonder.

Today I was putting QT gas in the car, and as I was walking to get back into the car, I see what looks like a Lamborghini.  Yes here in Atlanta, you will see one at least once a month.  I never saw cars like that in NY so I often stare. 

So I'm thinking this lambo pulling into QT??? What?????? Sweet no more guilt about QT in the Audi.

So I am pulling off and I look again really quick at the back and I see what looks like rings. Audi rings.  Huh??????

I'm confused.  I know my Audis but that baby I dont know.  I'm stunned and people in the gas station are looking as well.  I'm pulling off at this point trying to figure out what is that?

So I come to my Audi site and discover the car I saw is an Audi R8. Brand spanking new for 2009.  The starting price? $112,500.  Filling up on QT.    SWEEEEET! I wonder no more!

The car?  SICK as well.  I mean really.  I love a sexy car.  This bad boy is SEXY.

Agree?

I am an Audi owner and lover.  I love my car.  Actually its five years this month I became an owner! I will always love an Audi. 

The hard thing about buying a car is, like everything else, it becomes better with time. So over the years I have watched the new models and yearned, yes yearned for a newer one!  But you know, be happy with what you have and move on right?

Yea right.  Audi has a new model all together.  The A5 which is a coupe. This car is sick. I mean sick. 

So I always joke I'm going to go and test drive it but I don't because they will try to sell it to me and I can't afford it .  Bottom line.  But living in Atlanta, if there is a new model car out you will see it on the road.  You will probably see it on the road before  you even realize there is a new model out.  

So I am in the supermarket parking lot pushing along and I spot the Audi grille moving towards me.  You know your car when you see it.  Its like that silent nod between two brothers on the street.  Then from the grille my eyes move to the lights.  I see the lights.  The new lights are sicker then the car itself.  That car will sell for the lights.  Immediately I realize its a brand new Audi so just as quick my eyes move to the body to see how many doors this baby has. I see only one.  BAM! This is the new coupe!!!! Like a flash of lightening I roll down my window and yes I start screaming.  No words. Just screaming like someone stole my bag.  And as I drive by screaming,  the driver, who I cant see because the windows are tinted, raises his hand to me in that same silent Audi to Audi owner nod.  I'm not embarressed at all.  He knows the car is sick and I know as a Audi owner the car is sick!!

I mean can you disagree? 

A5

When your listening to tapes in the car! I was digging and came up with a classic!
