Cop is wrong about the location. That's the University Bridge over the "Ship Canal." The "Montlake Cut" is farther east from there and goes under the Montlake Bridge.
It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before the catalytic converter so it'll run good on regular gas.
Made it easily and it shows you all the TV and movies about copoganda is bullshit the cop would have made it too but he had an appointment to rape a child and kill a black person at the same time
Odds are good that SUV survived the jump. The driver's back won't be happy about it, but the car likely lived long enough to at least get out of sight.
Came to say this and most folks (in my experience at least) when you're using the roof racks/storage, they usually are on top of maintenance and condition of their cars, again in my car community at least.
Not really. Go play with some translation software or sites. Next, go find the oldest reference to the "horch=hear=audi" story you can. It's nowhere near as old as the Audi company.
I don't know what sources you're looking at, but according to Audi themselves, and the memoirs of August Horch himself dated 1937, as well as every other statement I can find, it comes from the translation of the name per suggestion of his son. I can read German, no translation needed.
Maybe their cars are a better quality when made in Germany? I'm in California, and most of the Audis we see are made in Mexico, or sitting in the shop. I've had several Volkswagens and Audis over the last 15 years, and every one of them has been a piece of shit. They've got nothing on Mercedes.
It's a joke that wasn't even funny in my grandpa's time. The format goes, generally, [word] is [foreign language] for [insult]. It relies on a bit of xenophobia and ignorance to get a laugh out of other ignorant xenophobes.
No, asshole, it's a slight parody on the fact that the Volkswagen group appropriated a bunch of African names for their car models. They've done this for decades. "Scirocco" is a wind that originates in the Sahara desert and blows towards the Mediterranean basin. VW first use that word as a car name in 1974. VAG has consistently "borrowed" African words to name their cars, which pairs well with their target audience: gentrifiers that evict POCs and rename streets and neighborhoods after them.
Two days until they announce the Netflix Movie with Alexi Hawley as director with Mark Addy as a new Shepard, Melissa O'Neil as the new pilot and Seth Green and Felecia Day joining the extended cast.

If that were my car, I'd be mad it was stolen, but that jump was epic. Probably worth it to know it can make the jump

Seattle University district. Lots of weird streets, and those uni kids will definitely stash the bad guy. Seattle hates the po-po.

far enough to ditch the cops & flee on foot

He is literally driving deeper into Seattle closer to other police departments.
only option was to cut hard to the right, ditch the car, then look sexy walking away

Further than that cop, anyway.

Not 5te next one. Did you know, the cops have radios now!

Often the best goal isn't 'get away as far as possible' but to get far enough away to break line of sight and then vanish.

confirming: the chase has to be short, the longer you run the easier it is to get cops in front of you or get the helo on you. make a few 1/

turns the won't try, get outta sight & ditch, they'll get to the car in the end, best case is you're gone by then. 2/2

It's an Audi. It wasn't going to get much further than that bridge without a tow truck, anyway, regardless of how it was being driven.

car is stolen. once the gumballs come out the car's only purpose is escape, wreck it if it gets you away!

Ahh. An excellent modern reference. Iām old and was thinking of the Bowery Boys series from the ā50ās. They used that phrase all the time.

It's a Audi Q7 (built on the same platform as the VW Touareg), it would have coped with a small jump.

TK421isAFK
Roof rack storage containers and kayak carriers on Audis are like huge tires and lift kits on pavement princess pickups - just for show.
TK421isAFK
It's funny how you say that as if that's a mark of quality or strength. "Audi" is Swahili for "unreliable, and a financial liability".
InTangier
I mean, Audis are pretty tough around these parts, but I suppose the manufacturing standards may be different.
ButtblasterMcAssmaster
And "Audi" is Latin for "Hear!", or "Horch" in German - the name of the founder and the origin of the company's name.
TK421isAFK
Not really. Go play with some translation software or sites. Next, go find the oldest reference to the "horch=hear=audi" story you can. It's nowhere near as old as the Audi company.

I didn't say that because it's an Audi, I said it because it's a solid 4WD built on a solid platform.
Hangonthere
As a german - WTF??
