you know you have an S5 because...
 

you replaced all the shift boots, changed the trans oil to ATF, and the car STILL smells like burning gear oil....

how they get it to leak gear oil, when there isn't any in the car is quite a feat!

haha-

You know you have an S5 when you learn there's TWO MORE shift bushings you have to replace (small one on the ball/cup, the half-moon on the anti-rotation pin)

When the tail lights are possibly worth more than the car

When you look at the voltmeter religiously to "make sure the waterpump is still spinning". Good ol' fake temp gauge

you know you have an S5 when your fog light bulb cost $30 plus dollars to replace and the only place that has it is the dealer cause all auto part stores carry only for the S4 which is completely different bulb.

Oh and when you have to pay more for replacement parts then the S4 :(

i'll play
you know you have an s5 when... everyone loves your porsche.

You know you have an S5 when your A-pillar trim is broken.

you know you have an s5 when the mazda dealership says 'get out of here with that broken seatbelt shit'

lmfao to this post.
I wish I could say something about the s5 but Im still not quiet sure whats the difference between the s4 and s5. (excuse my ignorance) :(

lol, that's more or less my friend's experience XD

you know you have a S5 when you acidentlly put 87 octane in your slightly modded TII and over boost and blow a seal on a fresh 30k motor. oh wait that was just me >8(

Huh, any good visual walkthroughs covering the S5 refresh? Mazdatrix's walkthough only seems to cover S4

You know you have an s5 because... you started a thread about a S5

YYou know when u have a s4 because you asked a question about a s5 lol

you have an S5 when the seatbelt decapitates you....

You know you have an S5 when your dashboard falls apart because you looked at it wrong.

Or when you ask for a front ball joint at the dealership and they quote you $450.

only had s5 verts, wouldn't know :D

You know you have an S5 when you have to buy a standalone just to premix without a metering oil system...

I got a dealer to replace my mouse belts two years ago. No charge.

You know you have an S5 when you have to port 2 wastegate passages instead of 1

You know you have an S5 when you try to de-wiper the rear window.

your instrument cluster doesn't color match old school HKS gauges. lol

hahaha you got me, i need to take my car to get the seat belts fix

when you have 2 OMP's hooked up- one for the ECU to think it's working, and another to block the hole on the front cover

lmao! good one

when you shout "FC!" from across the junkyard, only to get closer and see black trim and not so sleek bumpers :( maybe thats just my experience

That IS a good one... espeially when neither one of the OMPs are actually doing their job.
