Oh how I wish I had that Excursion (A6 content) . . .
Yes, I actually - ableit briefly - entertained purchasing one of these barges. Now with petrol hitting the $2.00 mark I am really beginning to appreciate the decision (not to purchase).
My car (aka- bashed audi) needs a new front bumper/fascia, lights, hood, associated underskin work, rear bumper/fascia, parking sensors, associated underskin work, and other various and sundry repairs. I'm not at fault so I leave it up to bozo the clown's insurance to deal with it.
They have no idea "why" the airbag did not go off. The disclaimer in the manual basically says the same thing (it's tied to deceleration but there must be other variables). Whatever. In this case my mug is ugly enough that a faceplant in the steering wheel probably improves things.
Still working on the pre-accident theatrics and b.s. with the dealer. As I have stated before, this is not an indictment of Audi as a brand but my car specifically (and moreover the dealer). My car was definitely a Monday after Oktoberfest "advancement through hangover" product. Bad mojo in deutschland.
I should know the cost of the repair tomorrow.

Disjointed post. Two separate thoughts completely unrelated.
I was hit last week by a car while I was stopped in traffic. The guy (aka-bozo the clown) was gawking at a car pulled over on the side of the road and drove into me.
The Excursion comment was due to one of my staff complaining today that it cost $45 to fill up their new Tahoe (it was not empty). It's one of those just before bed posts that lacks some coherence. I wish I could blame it on something other than being tired.

maybe not
Exxon-Mobil reported the larged profit by any company (in the US at least) in a single quarter ever, US$5B.
Today they got hammered because it appears gasoline stockpiles in the US are far larger than expected.
Note that they were hoarding it to keep the price up or anything...
But the price may come down if there is indeed such a supply on hand. We can hope.
