Tony Shimi <tshimi (AT) mitre (DOT) org> wrote It happened to me two weeks after I got the car (99 A6 Q); it totally destroyed the cover and I paid for a new one / installation on my own. I learned to stay away from any curb / curb stoppers. As to the sport sedan point; I've always had one; 5 series and 2002 BMWs, VW Passat, 900S SAAB, even Sunbeam Alpine (non-sedan), ... and they never did this before. Well, none of those is quite as low in the front, so you lucked out. Y'see, Tony, you missed the flamewars in here from a year or so ago over Audi's 'defectively designed' bumpers that caught on curbs when you drove backwards over them. JPF and I were two of the chief fanners of said flames, pointing out that if one doesn't drive over said curbs, one doesn't tear off the bumper cover. [sheepishly raises hand] Yeah, I was in there too. I was going to stay out of this one, and I'm not actually gonna make any comment on "parking by feel," but I don't think a flamewar is really necessary at this point. Who knows - maybe the judge will throw the thing out, and it won't cost us *more* to buy a new Audi in the future because of it... Spider |
