As you can probably tell, I am into soccer, auto racing, and I am the proud owner of an Audi. I have been playing soccer since the 3rd grade. I played until I graduated from college, then I took 7 years off. I just recently started playing again, after I discovered that State College has an adult league.
My interest in racing started after reading an article in S.I. about a driver that almost lost his life in a crash in 1976. The driver had won that F1 championship in 1975. He was so badly burned that they said he would not live. A priest actually gave the man his last rites. That driver lived and went on to win his second drivers title in 1977. The drivers name is Niki Lauda. He has retired from driving but not from racing. He is currently one of the heads of Ferrari's F1 effort. He also run Lauda Airlines. Have have yet to see an F1 race in person , but I have seen many races at Glen and Summit Point.
The fascination with Audi started when my parents purchased and Audi 100LS in 1975. This eventually became my car. The 100 series Audi's broke down often and were expensive to repair. I am sure that this model helped to give Audi it's bad reputation. In it's defense it was a blast to drive.
