Well, I must say, the 2013 S6 is pretty damn tough!!! While visiting my buddies house for the first time on Sunday who lives on a steep driveway, I parked in front of his garage. When leaving, I backed up in the parking spot, put my car in drive and next thing you know, I'm looking down at the earth. I thought that I was driving down the driveway, but NOPE! Right over his retaining wall. Felt like an idiot for doing it, but he was like "Oh, you're not the first to do that!" I was like "Oh, that makes me feel so much better".
Called the insurance company to start a claim and get a tow truck. The flat bed truck driver was fantastic. Took extra time and patience when it came time to get her off the wall. Only two minor scratches on the whole car. One under the front spoiler on the passenger side where it landed on the driveway and one under the back driver side door where it rested on the rock. I'm taking it in tomorrow to have my mechanic look at my skid plate to see if that needs any attention. Other than that, we were all amazed! Got it off the tow truck and drove away. Super grateful. Still feel pretty silly about the whole thing but oh well. Live and learn.

You are one lucky guy.
Your friend needs to a 3 foot tall metal railing around that retaining wall, maybe add some lights You are not first or last to have this problem.
