Default A4 vs. tree

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/car%20vs%20tree.jpg"></center><p>My friend Bill had left work the other day to find his A4 buried by a tree. Seems this rough weather we had in Orlando found a very large and very weak limb and brought it down on his baby. If you look in the upper left had of the picture, you can see where the tree branch broke off. Sorry for the large file size....

FYI - his car is a '97 1.8tqsm with around 100K miles. He is waiting to see if it is a total loss or not.<p><img src=" http://www.quattroclubusa.org/r/florida/newlogo.jpg " border="0">

Default In this case, I believe the tree is at fault. Sue the tree for everything it has.

Default

The front end looks a little raised as if there's a tree on the trunk (no pun) or something

Default I wish that happened to my car, then I could get an A4 now! My payoff is half of what I would get

from the insurance co. While trade in is only about $2000 more.
