Introducing my 8

So after looking at a couple and a searching through a bunch of ads I came across this one:
2007 Grand Touring 50K miles.
Have already changed out the plugs, wires and coils (it ran fine but I wanted to have my own records for when they were last done and for $150 and an hour of work why not). Other than a screw up on my part with trying to program new keys its been great.

I do have an SOHN adapter kit to go in, maybe tomorrow or next week and maybe change out the air filter (again just so I have a record of it being done).

Looks very nice! I'm a big fan of the blue exterior and white interior!

I must say, I do like those seats! They look like perhaps they are more supple?My 2005 Touring has the red / black leather that is durable as heck, but not very soft.

04-05 cars had vinyl faces while 06+ went all leather for the seating surfaces. That said, there is something psychological about the color that makes tan leather appear 'softer' or more inviting than the likes of black or the unnatural looking colors like our red-insert seats.
