When Enthusiasts Go Wild. Racing and Wrecking a rare Mexican-Import Audi S3

**George@Fourtitude** · 10-01-2007 12:34 PM

At this past weekend's H20 International show in Ocean City, Maryland, it seems the owner of a rare Mexican-import Audi S3 went flippin' crazy. The event is held at a local horse race track just outside of town, and the temptation of rally racing on one of the dirt tracks on site was just too much for the owner of this black S3.

Not only did he kick up a lot of dust sliding sideways around the track, he also decided to evade the local Maryland State Troopers who took off in hot pursuit, doing his best Dukes of Hazzard impression. In hasty retreat from the field, he also sideswiped a vendor's trailer and an unlucky green Volkswagen Jetta, narrowly missing some showgoers.

Out on the road, people are saying he blew a tire and lost the car into an embankment, damaging his own car, one we're guessing he'll have a hard time getting spare parts for, even further. Even worse, posts on this forum say his blood alcohol level was enough to net him a drunk driving charge as well.

The owner recently put the car up for sale on these forums. It seems he'd spent too much money on his trip from Texas to Maryland for the event and was losing his place, forcing the sale. Maybe he just snapped. Live Hard, get arrested harder. We're glad to hear no one was hurt in the process.

Of course, in today's digital world, there's plenty of evidence what transpired, and we've catalogued some of that here. Full H20 International Coverage will run on this site soon, including shots of the car at the event. Unfortunately, we'd left the track by the time this happened. Thanks to those who witnessed it for sharing the experience.

Warning, the videos do include graphic language. NSFW.

The car doesn't look too badly damaged.

What a bo-tard.

That *sucks*, especially since I'd kill for an A3 like that

Was that the one from here in Austin?

Oh .

I had thought about buying from him at one point - I've met the guy in person at a meet down here (and didn't really believe him when he said a buddy of his could legally get an S3 into the country from Mexico). The thought of having to fix broken stuff on an out-of-market car stopped me, though.

a great example of why the large VW events are getting increasingly bad reps...and are less and less fun to attend for those of us who are drunken jackasses.

unfortunately i've never been to H20 but it looks like with each year it's being waterfest'ed

**Big M** · 10-01-2007 12:46 PM

Ah, to live without inhibitions.

The fact then if most VW guys converge in a large group (read: waterfest), there will be drunken hoonage and vandalism.

Hey, wasn't there some thread recently asking what makes VW/Audi people so different from the rest?

**ZVdub** · 10-01-2007 12:47 PM

Big Deal?

I thought H20 was another name for Waterfest.

What does water have to do with VWs and Audis, anyway?

They are the only vehicles in the universe that are watercooled.

**spoonie** · 10-01-2007 12:48 PM

George, you'll post anything with an Audi in it.

**bluehtchbckdrv1** · 10-01-2007 12:50 PM

Umm....there is a Yellow S3 in Chicago. I have driven past, next to, and behind. Its not far from where i used to live.

You're joking, right?

In case you're not, the shows cover all the watercooled VW's. Pretty much the mk1 and up.

H2O International is an event that takes place late in the summer in Ocean City, Maryland. Waterfest is earlier in the summer, and it takes place at Englishtown Raceway Park in New Jersey.

Both shows are so named because once upon a time, if you said you had a Volkswagen, people assumed you had a Beetle or bus. The watercooled VW clubs came up with these names to contrast with the aircooled VW events like Bug-Out.

I'm supposed to immediately realize that? I'm not a V-Dubber.

**JOSHFL420** · 10-01-2007 12:54 PM

I remeber him trying to sell it. Skinny little dude right? what an butthat i get the whole "my car, my problems" but when he turned into the trailer and people were walking around there is a bad thing.

Not to mention that this type of douchebaggery has an overarching impact on the way the entire VW/Audi community is labeled.

Sorry, I still figure all this mess spawned from VW Vortex, so we all atleast have some grounding there.

But yeah, the VW air-cooled and watercooled scenes do need something to differentiate them. There's not a lot of overlap there. Some, but not much. That's the jist of it.

Ah, yes. Cort337. He was always on the 337 when I was regularly there. Thought he had his head on straight, but clearly not. What a doosh.

And the people cheering him on when he nearly hits the trooper. Wow....asshats.

**Chapel** · 10-01-2007 01:06 PM

wow... what a DUMMY.
So, he's drunk, yes?
This is probably the stupidest thing I've seen at a VW show... and I've been to like 3 or 4 Waterfests.

Guess I missed the last H2O ever, then...

FFS.

This is why I don't go to shows.

Now it all makes sense. MKIV owner.

**Piper_VW** · 10-01-2007 01:09 PM

I lol'ed when he hit the trailer.

**8inches_o_rubber** · 10-01-2007 01:11 PM

It would've been funny if he had crashed (at low speed, no injuries) against the trooper, so that they could keep piling on the charges.

I think I know at least one of those troopers. Somebody's gonna have some traumatic stories of the Slower Lower's finest when he finally gets home.

I don't know. I didnt' find that funny at all, especially since he was drunk and driving among a large group of people. Pretty f'ing moronic.
