2008 S8 Phantom Black/Black Premium Package B&amp;O Loaded!


Still breaking it in. Haven't had a chance to really let it whip, but it purrs along like a big sedan as it should. The B&amp;O is DEFINITELY worth the 6 grand on top. If you're into music, the AMI integrates the Ipod (and the Iphone) beautifully. The Bang Olufsen is crystal clear and loud enough to make a deaf person hear.

The suspension is another bonus, the automatic change in height is a life saver over potholes. Lift, Comfort, Automatic or Dynamic. It maps the throttle accordingly. In Dynamic, the ride is still surprisingly comfy(comparing to any other S-car) and the throttle is the most aggressive. Press the gas and your neck will snap. In the other modes, the car selects high gears quickly so the acceleration is silky smooth.

Got it tinted at Solar Solutions and tinted the amber corner lights too. Great work.

Default Are those swirl marks?

Or clouds.... Just kidding. Looks great without the amber corners+tint. I'll look for you in Faneuil hall!
Can you save me a parking spot next to you? getting a cab around there late at night is next to impossible. (especially on cold nights like these!)

Default Re: I usually park at the garage in the end of Union St...

We validate parking at The Tap, it's $3 for 3 hours. You don't want street parking around there, my Tahoe got keyed, the manager's BMW got its window smashed and jacked the ipod... plus the sheer amount of drunks walking around, not a good idea. I'll keep my eyes open for your S5.
