Snow day story

Illustration for article titled Snow day story

Someone in a Dodge Charger with bald tires was stuck in the snow in my neighborhood. He had been idling so long to stay warm and charge his phone that he ran out of gas. I filled up a gas canister for him and right after I was done helping him, these two older guys in an Audi Q5 drove by.

The passenger rolled down his window and said, “you need Audi Quattro.” They didn’t even slow down or ask if we needed anything. Why he felt the need to roll down his window at all to say anything is beyond me.

What really gets me is that he specifically said not just “Quattro” but “AUDI Quattro.” He couldn’t have just said “all wheel drive?” Or “winter tires” or, I don’t know, nothing?
