Default Got S8 back from shop yesterday

Total cost $5900

Head up nearly new, valves and all!
Timing belt, plugs, o2 everything, hoses, etc.
Cam shaft tensioner pads(replaced) -new
Pretty much heads up new engine.

Sounds & drives brand new.

Also Fixed Prop seal (new) stayed with old design. Added fluid
New tranny fluid, filter, seals.

New rear Brembo rotors, Akebono pads.

My interior is near mint and body is pretty clean.
Aftermarket 19" wheels and tires.

Decided to keep know car on road for $5k than pickup new problem car for same or higher.

"Better the devil you know than the devil you don't'"

This morning , I saw this nice Black B5 S4 coming our way as we stopped at stop sign. I looked over and watched it pass (can’t help it)
The 20 something driving it was looking over at us with this ear to ear grin. Mutual S class appreciation nod reminds me of biker salute (I also ride)
This S8 is like a superbike on 4 wheels and you either have been bitten by the bug or not.

Nod to D2 S class sufferers everywhere (and straight D2), you can still get here!

D2 is A8 and S8, guessing that was a B5 S4?

Nice to see you have the same philosophy as me Omar when it comes to our cars - it's a difference of worth vs value (ie if the car is worth it, the value is irrelevant ;-))

Nice job!
