Once sexy, now obsolete? The decline of American trucker culture (10 Photos)

We were test-driving the Audi A4 Avant 2.0 turbocharged in Ibiza, a Spanish island in the Mediterranean Sea. This is quite possibly the most beautiful place on earth with the kind of swirling, mountainous roads that car enthusiasts dream about. My partner, X, who writes for one of those manly buff magazines, was at the wheel. Before we set out, he proclaimed, “I’m going to be flinging this car around because I have to give it a full-on review.”I replied, “That’s fine, but I think I’ll opt out.” He assured me that it would be fun and not to worry.Yes, X is a confident driver and a whiz at understanding, explaining and writing about torque, steering, engines, handling and all that jazz. And yes, he makes me feel like a lightweight. But, that’s my own ego stuff.X did drive hard, taking corners fast and like the pro that he is, even turned the ESP off (that’s the electronic stability control, which chimes in to keep the car from skidding or going into a spin) at one point to prove how steady this sporty wagon is. The Audi A4 Avant was certainly up to the challenge. I wasn’t. I have two kids, one dog and a husband at home. I like to take it easy. I’ll leave the other stuff to the racetrack.
