[s-cars] New Guy/S8

[Mark Pollan]

Ain't that the truth!  My buddy had his '00 A8L totaled from something
slightly more than a fender bender.  Damaged contained entirely to right
from fender and suspension.  Them parts are expensive!!  But he learned his
lesson and got an '03 S8.

Don't park that Ming beauty too close to the outfield fence.  Can't
imagine it'd be too easy for der dent Wizard to pull that Aluminum back
out again...
