My Ride: Gone: 2004 525i Jet Black, Built 03/04, Premium Package, Black Dakota Leather, Halogen to Euro Spec Bi-Xenons Retrofit, Dark Poplar Wood Trim, Steptronic Breyton Spirit Reps 20x9F 20x10R - Nitto NT555 245/35/20F-275/30/20R, M5 Front Bumper, H&R Sport Springs, Chrome Grills, 20% Tint, Euro Reflectors, Debadged, Aux Input, CIP v19.x
The images I take on my camera phone are very interesting from time to time. I was called out to an accident a while back near the Santa Ana Auto Mall (for those who know the area).
A young woman was test driving an Audi. She stated at the scene that the Audi salesman asked her to accelerate so she can feel the power of the vehicle. Long story short she lost control and crashed into a street light pole. Now I'm not sure why but they had 5 passengers for this test drive. The sad part of this story is that the middle rear passenger was killed. I wonder if they have crash ratings for situations like this (overhead/roof damage)?

That's to cover her a$$ excuse... "Uh... Mr. policeman the only reason why I hit that pole is b/c the sales person told me to accelerate, please it's not my fault."
