Toronto, Ontario — December 13 — Collision Repair has prepared a list of the top four unbelievable stories of the week, from Audi’s new movie theater feature to an extrodinary van with a built-in sauna – and much, much more!
Dude, where’s my car?
Have you ever approached a car you thought was your own, only to realize that it wasn’t, but another of the same colour and model? A driver in Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia did exactly that – and more. A woman was dismayed to see a man enter her vehicle and drive away as she – and her keyless entry FOB – approached it. Police said that another driver who had also been inside the business, accidentally got in the wrong vehicle and drove off. Unfortunately for the unwitting car-jacker, he only realized his mistake after paying for a full tank of gas.

An unusually modified 2000 Toyota HiAce was recently listed for sale in Sweden. The van contains a built-in sauna in the back area. Despite having just 30,000 km clocked on the odometer, the deisel-powered vehicle has not been able to find a buyer willing to pay the asking price – about $14,000 Canadian.
Audi goes to the drive-in show
Audi will be showcasing their new in-car entertainment feature at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this January.
The new system will allow drivers to stream movies – including the latest blockbusters in their vehicle. While this might sound like a serious distraction for the driver, Audi’s engineers have given the entertainment system a serious drawback to prevent disaster on the roads. The system only operates while the vehicle is immobile. While this may be a major drawback today, Audi anticipates that in the future, the design will be used in autonomous vehicle, allowing everyone to enjoy their favourite flicks during commutes.
