Don't worry, everyone, Digg founder Kevin Rose will be just fine. Multiple tipsters sent messages to let us know that Rose ended up entangled in some unwanted Audi-on-Audi action. Ever the early adopter, Rose even uploaded video showing the damage to both vehicles. Smart move — now the owner of the other car can't get away with trying to convince Rose's insurer that the damage was anything more than a cosmetic scratch. Best excuse we've seen for having an account on mobile video publishing service Qik so far after the jump.

Kevin, user "Goku" wanted to know if you were okay.
Why do people follow this guy around on the net? He only bothers to respond to the popular kids anyway.
30+, with startup(s), and still not in a Beemer.
Sad, really.
who the fuck cares? and Digg has not sold yet, so he isn't even rich.
*sigh*
@sample032: F a Beemer. the IT car is and has always been a Porsche
@lawrence: Typo! You meant to write "penis substitute."
how on earth did he rim it on an angle like that.
Ummmm...not sure how car repairs work there, but any damage to a European car, even minor, is usually 4 figures minimum, least here.
the only question i have is:
how many votes did it take for kevin's video to make the digg frontpage?
What impact will this have on Valleywag's Acura sponsorship?
He probably wouldn't have this problem if he pulled his car in like he is supposed to. He's going to be in more shock when he finds out it's going to cost a lot more than a few hundred just to fix the other guy's car.
@lawrence: True, enough. Average techies need a BMW by 30. Ones with a successful startup should be in something better.
@raincoaster: [valleywag.com] makes me think otherwise. Then again, I know an Asian who drives an Audi, so your might have a point.
I wouldn't want a BMW anyway. I'm not enough of an asshole to own one.
Besides, I'm perfectly happy with my Acura.
Awww looks like Kev and I have the same car. This is very sad to watch.
Hope he got the audi dent program, they'll come to you and fix it.
@seanpercival: Really? That's one of the few true value-add services I've heard of from a car dealer network.
Also, founders can drive anything they want. Heard of this guy? [www.forbesautos.com]
@vulturesquadron: Yup, was only about $5 per month more month as well. Nice service, and much needed in any busy metro.
@TechMerkin: You made me laugh!@centernetworks: Ever since it came out that rose plugged his stupid company on an internet tv show a while back and didn't disclose that the company was his... I have had nothing but disrespect for him.
Also, the "drive x by 30" mentality is total bs. Are people that shallow? Who the f cares what anyone drives. Unfortunately, I know there are people out there/here who are in over their head trying to impress people they don't even like. Sad.
Anyway, the damage is going to cost a lot.
Wittle boy needs to learn how to dwive.
