Default Oh, the humanity
Several days ago there was a huge fire at the Danbury Connecticut airport wiping out a hanger and several aircraft inside (corporate jets) and damaging fifteen other aircraft outside. Well, this is very close to Danbury Porsche-Audi and a friend tells me multiple Audis parked along the fence suffered damage along the lines of melted rear bumpers from the heat and cracked glass and many other cars were damaged by flying embers.

I wonder if they were new cars or customer cars?

What are the odds that they won't disclose the repairs when they sell them?

Default Granted, but I'd be leary of longterm effects of high heat on electrical components
Not that heat would ever affect anything on an Audi...like say...a dash display
