Gary, I do not post here often but I do try to read every few days. I am very sad to hear about your situation, it is very upsetting and I do really wish you the best through your journey.

Think you ALL sooo much. It means a lot to me.
I know the car is just a bunch of metal and wires, but I think I died a little bit when I hat to stop driving the Audi. It was almost like a personal relationship. I kept it spotless. It's hard for me to look at now. I'm going to get someone to help me put the indoor cover back on. I won't be as tempered to get in and go either. Happy motoring to you all! Also enjoy , take care of and appreciate your health.

Did I fall asleep and wake up on a Lexus forum?

Nice talking to everyone and will stay on as long as possible. One of my last enjoyments.
Fiancé bought my car ( Audi ) sold BMW 750 few months ago. I actually have a Audi trunk emblem to dress up the casket
Some think I'm crazy, but that's how much I've enjoyed the A8L. D4
Ps. The 460 is my fiancées or it would be gone too
Gary, you're an inspiration. God Bless.

Gary, any updates on how you are doing? I searched and haven't seen any posts from you in a few weeks. I hope you are doing well and fighting the fight!
