    Long time viewer and podcast listener - I think this video is a perfect example of doing ENOUGH. Not doing TOO much, or spending too much time/effort and not getting the return. This isn't a movie quality stuff here, and that's okay! This video is SO well done. It gets the information across in a way that's easy to digest, it's entertaining, and it's not 45 minutes long. Nice job including the press footage in the edit too. It adds a much needed variety to the video. Use this video as a case study! Assuming ZK enjoyed this formula from start to finish, repeat it!

    I have had a 2019 S63 for a few years now and love the car. They are actually pretty easy to work on for things like brakes and oil changes. The 4.0 in mine has been bulletproof and I have not really had too many issues with the car. I purchased a 2019 because I actually like the W222 looks much better, plus it is probably the last true V8 S Class we will ever see, plus I only paid around 110K for a 1 year old example with 9K miles on it. I would bet this one as demoed is close to 200K if not more.
