What the hell would you do if you started to slide backwards when you got up there? I guess if you’d just change your drawers if you lived… ---

Old Audi Quattro \> New Audi Quattro That’s a remake of a mid 80’s Audi Quattro commercial, excpet they got up the ramp the first time in that. We watched a video in my Professional German class at Pitt showing how they made the first one and they had 3 different ways to stop the car, normal brakes, a brake that runs on a wire underneath the car, and a barrier net, similar to what they use for emergencies on an aircraft carrier, to catch the car at the bottom of the ramp. ---
