[s-cars] Dreaming of more than Thankgiving turkey

[Vincent Frégeac]

Mark,

At the end, it seems you can have an S4 AND have a life,
or have an R8 OR have a life, it's just a matter of priority ;-)

Now, there's a guy working in the office just beside mine who has a Bentley 
Continental GT AND a life. So it seems everything is possible.


Vincent.
