[s-cars] Tales from the front.

[airbil]

Like a kid in a candy store this AM,
I sit at the local stealer for der S6 check in assessment.
$440 for new battery is the worst of it but I'm a tellin' ya all the  
new, cool electronic gadgetry will preclude field repairs at SFest in  
the rain, or any other time. (battery supposedly cannot be  
disconnected without the car losing it's mind:(  Dealer only  
reflashable brain.
On the up grade list is nav disc, iPod interface and new tires.
Being a gadget freak, I still love all this stuff and into the car for  
<half the new price.  IME all these new car prices are only for folks  
who qualify for a mtge. or work at Goldman.
Maybe it's a great plan ... To build sexy high priced only dealer  
serviceable cars?
Here's a nice S5 cabrio for $65,325 =O

Will have wait on T-bill shorts to come in for that one.
Now back to the Regis show, on at the Quattro Cafe and my second $50  
cup o Joe :)

$27 Audi Sport fanny pak:P
