It's been a long time since we've washed our A8, although it's always been garaged, it still had some dirt on it due to parking and driving. The car is still shiny and look at my daughter helping me washing it, I remembered the day we went to get the... ... car, she was just born. It's been an amazing car we've ever had. I wanted to replace it with a newer model one, but the wife likes it so much and it's still driving so well... hmm, we may have to drive it forever...
