Funny story. My old man was/is the cheapest guy on the planet. As a navy

guy with 4 kids, he was never extravagant of flashy.
Well, finally, for the first time in his life about 1977 he decided to upscale things. All the kids were out of the house but me. He had retired from the service and had a great job at TCC. So he decides to buy an Audi. He's gonna live a little. He buys the Audi Fox. Even that was the low level Audi as he couldn't get too crazy.

Well that car was the biggest piece of crap. It constantly broke down, and had nothing but problems. Was constantly in the shop. It finally got so bad, he just dumped it off on me as my college car.
He bought a Honda, and hasn't strayed from Honda since.

Poor guy.
But I laugh every time a see an Audi.
