No problem, that will buff out! Seriously " Score one for modern car safety" they were not kidding. It wasn't that long ago in my life when that would have had a completely different ending. I just went through extraction (removing people from crashed cars for our Rescue Squad) training and car manufacturers really have improved the metal structures on modern cars. Wow, impressive!

Audi usually inspects cars that crash in the real world so they would have more data on their cars' crashworthiness, no?
