If it's totalled, or even if it's repaired, I likely will be trading it on a new work ride, maybe a new A4.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Man, I just hate it when you take precautions to keep some thing out of harms way and it ends up still getting F**ked up!
Just got the '04 C4S, so the '01 A4 is relegated to the driveway. As a very strong cold front approached yesterday, I relocated the A4 to the street, out of reach of limbs from trees in my yard. About 1/2 hour later, urged on by a 50mph gust of wind, my neighbor's 75 year old oak decides it's had enough, and topples directly onto my A4. Smashed rear window, top, all passenger side panels - if the C-pillar isn't structurally damaged, the car is likely salvagable and likely sustained $7-10K in damages. Damn it. If it's totalled, or even if it's repaired, I likely will be trading it on a new work ride, maybe a new A4. Good news, the Porsche was uninjured. I've had a great weekend -- not!

Crap, Phil, that sucks. Man, I just hate it when you take precautions to keep some thing out of harms way and it ends up still getting F**ked up! Hope it works out for you. Good to hear about the P-car!!!
Sorry to hear about the damage. I suppose insurance will pay for it... but then the insurance rate will go up as a result of the claim of a natural disaster, or does it take an actual vehicle accident to make the rate go up?................
Yeah, Phil - whenever something like that happens, you gotta be thinking "Pics for Rennlist!"
On the 964 board, one guy's house was broken into over the holidays and he posted a pic of his ransacked garage.
That way, we all feel the pain.
PS, I thought you had an S4, no?
Unfortunately my pics are 1MB - not sure how to resize to <150KB. And yes, I did have an '05 S4 in Northern Blue (special order), but sold it to get the 996 C4S. A good decision. Anyway, the A4 is going into the shop tomorrow - I'll have an idea of whether the car is repairable and even if it is, whether I want to keep it or trade it for something else - perhaps lease a new A4.
