They did the same to August Horch. They forced him out of his own company and when he wanted to start a new one he couldn't name it after himself because the old company still had the trademark. So he just translated his name into Latin: Audi Couple of years later that became moot anyway though. Because of the Great Depression their bank forced four car manufacturers from Saxony to merge: Horch, Audi, DKW and Wanderer became Auto Union but the name "Audi" still stuck and they adopted that name again later. But they kept the company logo, the four rings for the four companies.

The car hopped and drove straight on in this turn since it lost contact to the surface like a plane. Now they fly as angels.

I was looking for a place to comment and your comment struck me in a lot of ways? First I learned quite a bit today? I thought the Slant Nose was A variation of the 9/11 from the factory. Kind of like the Ford Mustang and you have the GT or the Salween. I did not know it went to another shop ? I absolutely love everything he visioned! Vi An I was always wowed when I saw a 911 ! So low wheels tucked perfectly in whales ! 2 big gauges on the dash and the Largest is for RMP ? That took time to adjust! I was so fascinated with the all white Carrera or the Cabriolet! I too never ever thought I could afford one ? Plus I knew of no one who had one. So I started a small but profitable business so my wife can stay home and manage the office and take calls and stay with our one and three year old. I will do the labor during the day of the work week around 15 to 20hrs. My main job was paint Quality Control At a Ford motor company assembly plant in Va. I worked 68.5hrs week! 5:30-4am 6 days. I always enjoyed cars and never having a note. So I drove restored 60s cars . So I drove an 81 escort all the time with no AC in the radio and the wife drove S420 and out of the SR Navigator. I made sure she was in a great ride. One day I drove by a showroom that Only carried exotic cars ! Mostly a few years older or a classic. This night it was very bright really bright as I come upon and there it was 1987 white 911 Carrara! I had to go to the glass and look! Wow it’s been a long time just to see one! So the next night was double date with a very upper 2% friend. I took them over to it at 2am after dancing! I was surprised they loved it! I thought it would be too old because he just bought a viper! So I went in and loved it! He asked me to get in ? I did but turned down driving? I knew I would buy it! So I left and my wife was very supportive saying we have the money! I just couldn’t do it with a new family. So a month goes by and I read an article about a white 911 from the newspaper saying who owned the car. Everyone knows that lawyer but it stated he lowered his price? When I saw that price 65% less I went right then and bought it ! I asked for it to go to a Porsche mechanic before I paid cash. Np I never did that before but I know nothing about a 911? It came back awesome compression test and after a 4 hour go over he gave me the green light! We already made plans for me to return the car to him after the weekend? I got back and there were 4 buyers ready to start a bidding war with 2 on the phone lines. I did not take my cell phone with me that day! The owner of the shop was shaking? I gave him cash and he wasn’t happy for me anymore? He said he regretted me taking it to the shop with that kind of price! I don’t care I said? I’m great full to have that money! I’m a blue collar worker and I can’t take a chance with Rods , pistons , oil pressure problems because I have no money for those problems ! He took everything in and realized this is not a toy for me? I never thought I would drive one. Now I own this and here are my plans ? Bam I got a white tail and completely whited the car! White cashmere carpet with already white leather solid white 911 , all white tail with black on top, white 911 wheels painted and matched 911. I dropped it all the way down keeping wheels even. Very easy like nascar floorjack and long tool to lower pit stop. I took out all gauges and shipped to Germany to install all bright white gauges. All white matched! This was the most important to me! Blacked all glass including windshield! Never pulled over? Then I thought deeply about my car ? I came up with a plan for driving? I carpeted in our home garage end it had heat and AC so that’s perfect. Period I never wanted to feel unappreciative of having that car. So I took it out dates with my wife. Golfing and well known socials. There is nothing like having a car park in the front Of every social event in any city and the song that always played BigE “ my car go 150 Swiftly with NO car payment “ at canopy everywhere we go ! The biggest credentials that I have ever received with that car? Are downtown locked out every car on the street except for Ferraris! It was Ferrari Friday night only in the downtown area only! Anyone parking in downtown in 24hr towed!! Somehow they let a beautiful white 911 park on the main strip. 95% of cars or red lol. I sold it and started another business and yes I do miss it

yes, during the time but are you counting in inflation? Soon as the Euro got released in germany inflation went up. If something was 1dm before the change, when the euro came it just switched to 1€. Hence why the german bdp went up after they changed the whole format of the countries economics. Very smart by them. And 300k dm in the 80's is a cpc of over 220% in 2021. Don't worry, their math is right.

Your conversion of the DM to $ for 1986 is incorrect. If I recall, it was about 2.5 Marks to the dollar (2.5 marks = 1 dollar), down from over 3 Marks to the dollar a year earlier. The entire time I was stationed in Germany, through the ‘80’s, I don’t recall the mark ever being worth more than the dollar. 390,000 DM is not equal to 790,000 US dollars.
