Default road debris (1) , s4 radiator (0)
I saw a big piece of metal in the lane next to me.

The car in that lane hit it and it shot out from his rear tire like a javelin, right into my radiator. Steam started flying everywhere.

Luckily the shop is doing a great job and my car will be ready on Friday.

Not much to protect the radiator on these cars though.

Default damn man...I'm sorry to hear that. I know the new SUV by Mitsubishi has the same problem of over
exposed radiator... GREAT cooling, but not much protection.

Sorry to hear that. Did the Audi Warranty cover that, or did you have to pay out of pocket?

Default Sorry to hear this, seems like all of the accidents to the new S4's are on Nogaro colored cars....
just a note, to be extra careful for the Nogaro guys and gals

It's just that EVERYONE and EVERYTHING sees Nogaro...so they merely attack it.
