Back in the mid 80's there was a big bruhaha over the Audi 5000 and lawsuits against Audi...people were saying it would accelerate unintended ...and that it would jump out of gear when in park..causing people to run over folks into homes.cars etc...the car would just jet.....in reality the brake and gas pedal were so close together that some peoples foot would slip off the brake pedal and hit the gas and then of course the car would go...So people started saying "i'm out like an Audi 5000" meaning they are leaving suddenly and quickly without warning....then shortened to "Audi 5000" or just "audi" or just "5000"..just to say goodbye
