Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, we have the results of the quiz: Which auto manufacturer did the famous commercial?

-- AUDI --

The Medalists, ranked in order of first to respond correctly, are:

Taking the GOLD: Jim A

Grabbing the SILVER: Brian Yonker

Snatching the BRONZE: Ken (Hart?)

Honorable mention to: Tobin Copley Tom Stone Michael S. Nichols

But the VERY BEST response (written in the german dialect of the commercial itself), and taking the coveted $CRAP Platinum Edition Vanagon Audi Conversion miniature series trophy replica, signed by Ron Salmon, Ken Wilford, David Marshall, Detlev, Beantown Bob, Todd Hill, and Coyote, is:

~ Alan Bosch ~ <huge applause!>

Whose response was:

"Zee only kar komercial I kan recall from zee Seventies, komplete mit der tick Jherman akzent, vould be zee Audi Five-sauzend. Ist goot, ya? Alan Bosch & Phred ('88 Wolfsburg) Rochester, NY Please, no S.C.R.A.P. for prizes! :o)"

*Prizes will be distributed solely at the discretion of $CRAP*, sorry Alan. As always with $CRAP, winners are responsible for all costs and fees. Visa/Mastercard accepted. Thank you for using *Sawyer Consolidated Rent-A-Part.

---- Biggest Question lingering: Why didn't Chris Jordan (Mr. Audi) enter the contest? (p.s. -- I hereby deem this my Friday post for this week --sorry for the bw)
