Two S6 revelations...

Surprisingly the S6 actually rides higher than the sport 4.2. From the ground to the underside of the frame at the B-pillar area, the S6 is 8 inches off the ground (give or take a few angstroms) while the 4.2 is ~7 5/8 inches...hmmm...strange I say.

Ok, well I promised two...the second is far more dramatic...

--There is no way in freaking hell that a full-size spare can fit in that damn wheel well!!! Not a chance!!! Damn!!! Don't they know I get a lot of flats?!?!?!

It was cool...got to use the front and rear fogs tonight...very foggy in the East and North Bay tonight.

Go drive. Stop posting. Break it in so Finchick can come and drive with us at AR driving school.

"Angstroms"? Who uses that word in everyday life?

In fact, I've NEVER heard it before. Must be a military-spec thing, huh?

Mine has settled exactly 1/8" in the two months since new

How about the tires and tread depth? Are you still running Conti's on the 4.2? (I assume thats what is on the S6) Are they much more worn? I know, I'm going for 1/16ths here...
