Default grrrrrrrr S8 totaled
some 17 year old %$#@^ just ran a redlight,
and t-boned my fathers car...
the beautiful S8...
apparently the axis is broken, the side is a mess (haven't seen it yet) and all kinds of other stuff...I will take pictures tomorrow ;(
I'm hoping the insurer will just total the car and get it over with...

Peter

Default It doesn't take much to tolal A8/S8 because of the space frame. It's very expensive to fix...
Not to mention the fact there only a handful of places that are authorized to repair it.

Default Yeah, some a-hole sideswiped my lil' sister's Jetta last night, too :(
She's OK and the car's not too bad, though.
