[V8] S4 seats vs. V8 seats

[dsaad at icehouse.net]

It is a strange world when your bicycle is worth more than your car...

I have been looking at a Trek Fuel Mountain Bike (about $3K). My current bike is
the same vintage as my V8 - and it is beyond tired. Also like the V8, it was a
technological marvel in its day. It wouldn't even make a good boat anchor today.
