[V8] V8 might be going away soon...

I think we're kindred spirits, Tony.  Can you name a single car which has
the feel of a V8Q?  I get to drive a pretty good cross section of new and
not so new ubber mobiles, and I'll be damned if I can justify dumping the
V8Q for any of them.  Even the A8's and S8's seem cramped in the cockpit
and wimpy when measured with the completely unscientific and irrational
"pou pou meter."  The high end Mercyless Benz's feel like tanks, but
aren't as nimble as the V8Q when you need them to be.  There is one,
after a ferrying operation of 200 miles,  I might divorce the V8Q for,
and leave the Audi clan for good, the SL600.  But, the reality of living
in the rust belt with seemingly endless winters sets in and that's that. 
If Mercyless Benz ever gets around to producing that AWD SL they promised
more than a decade ago, all bets are off.
