Audi A8(L) D4 from 2011-2018
It’s Thanksgiving, we went to a family dinner and the lights on the dash weren’t on but the lights outside were. The message of automatic head lights and rain sensors malfunction was on. We had to turn on the manual lighting on the switch to drive home. In the morning, I removed the camera mount and cleaned […]

All Audis before 2008 use G12 (Orange/Red) and after 2008 G13 (Purple/Pink). The main difference between these 2 from the […]
A coworker of mine has a new Tesla S 75D, the last year life time free charging ended. He gave me a ride to show me the ride and the Autopilot that Tesla’s been talking about all these years. It was quite impressive. The car is fast, but the interior and the ride can’t beat […]
