When we set it back down, it’ll be at the same height because of the slip plates.

So where does the 968 fit in that "logic"?

Someone on FB suggested 0w-20. And yes, they were serious.

Someone else criticized the suggestion of 5w-50, saying that '5 is way too thin'. Apparently multi weight oil is beyond them.
I wouldn't use 5w-50 for a couple different reasons, but the '50' part means it's heavy enough.

With all the downforce from the aero front end, those headlights are aimed perfectly when at speed.

I'd fix it myself but I don't have the time.

Hey, It’s an “S4”, not 4 wheel drive!

From a recent for sale add in Hemmings, "original paint, body has been clearcoated to preserve original paint".
Huh?
