Thanks for the info. I want to see that whiplash bit, too. I'm still recovering from a bad whiplash injury myself.

Motorweek

The episode was on Speedvision on Thursday afternoon. They will replay it again next Tuesday morning for those who missed it.

They did refer to it as a 2004 model all of the time and some of the video is of an S500. It's worth seeing...

I wish I could send it to you, but I don't have video capture on my computer, and I don't think I can e-mail from Tivo (that would be a great feature if I could).
