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

[Livolsi, Stephane]

Just to clarify my comments...

Yes, after a shop fixes a car - esp to the tune of $52k - I would expect
them to do some test driving.  But reading about how fast your car is on a
web site is another thing altogether... the comments could be misinterpreted
by the owner.  That's all I was saying.
