***I rented Ronin on Victor's recommendation, and I do recall them asking specifically for an Audi S8 as their escape car. Just in case you are not familiar with the big Audi very limited edition aluminum-bodied dual-turbo all-wheel-drive S8---nobody can touch it.Unfortunately that includes the mechanic. No one knows how to fix, where to get parts, etc. My wife used to have one - the biggest financial disaster. You are right, it is untouchable on snow and water, though, and I loved most of it. But part prices - my God. Take any BMW delaer part price and multiply by 5, then add $100. That was the first time I have experienced the $700 brake disks - not even the dealer price.
Fortunately, a drunk in a truck helped us to get rid of it - and we lost just a bit after the settlement.
***I own a poor cousin to it (with the S4 drivetrain). Wicked fast, and untouched in slippery corners. They had to ban them from the motorcross. Sorta like fishing with dynamite.
Great cars when they run.
