This reminds me of 1970’s Corpus Christi. One of my Orthopedic Surgeon Colleagues bought a new Audi from dealer for the then absurdly high price of $17,500. He took delivery, made it about 1/2 mile down the road and the entire engine & transmission fell out onto the roadway. It was very difficult to sell an Audi in South Texas afterwards. . . . . . .
