FW: brought an s8 home today, wow !!!

[Livolsi, Stephane]

anybody else remember the story about the guy at the dealership that had a
mustang in for service and he took it out for some....err...performance
testing...and then posted about it on a mustang enthusiast list?  and the
owner of the mustang happened to be on the same list?

well....THAT'S MY GODDAMN S8 !!!

Ok, it's not my car,but I'm sure the real owner wouldn't appreciate reading
stuff like "floor it", "mash the gas", "bam!! your gone!!!"
