    Yes, Peanut Butter-Kid is right-- that's the new 2009 Audi R8 with a 4.2L mid-engine V-8 producing 420HP and does 0-60 in 4.4 seconds with a price "starting" at $114.2K.

    When the owner finally comes back; he's gonna wonder why a VX and a disposable SmartCar deliberately parked next to him, when there are plenty of other empty parking spaces elsewhere. Luckily; you guys gave the R8 owner a cushion of space between the cars, otherwise he'd be super pissed-off.

    No; you didn't get to meet the R8 owner because he didn't want to meet you and answer your repetitive looky-loo questions, but believe me he was watching you from a distance and already had you in his gun sights. Owners of cars like that treat them the exact same as small children and always keep them within sight (gun sight) at all times.

    I am sure he didnt come to meet me cause he was just jealous of my VX and that he had no idea what it was and i am sure he was embarrased to ask about it.
    I keep my VX always within sight too lol

    I actually think the Audi R8 is wicked looking. I dig it, and I normally don't care for high end sports cars...

    Couldn't disagree more. Over the years, I've posted pix of "hyper" cars, owned by friends, friends of friends, and customers. Everytime, these guys WANTED me to drive....no...Hammer their machines. The guy with the Ford GT and the GT2, regularly scuffs both, and tosses me the keys at the drop of a hat. My wife drives the Rivette collection cars, as often as Ron Rivette. Guys that buy big dollar cars, then freak-out, or get all snooty about them, are either folks that really can't afford that kind of machine, or the type that has their whole identity tied up in their "status maker" Seems the douche in the Altima, will be WAY more picky (and pricky) than the guy in the GT3... Maybe it's a racing thing, maybe it's a Daytona thing, but fast cars in Daytona get used....not kept as art.

    Thumbs up

    While i was heading to stamford,Ct about three weeks ago on the I-95 i saw this inmaculate black R8 like 600 yars ahead of me driven by an adult male;I was impressed since i never saw one before so i kindly chased him,i were on the center lane while the R8 was on the left lane.
    After few minutes riding along together the R8 driver finally figured out my presence,saw the horse & give me the usual WTF is that look like,then he slowly went onto my lane right after me,drove few minutes,then went over the right lane,honked & gave me two thumbs up,i did the same the guy took off,damn it.....that little beast can move fast.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    I've got a Black Camaro on order to export, suppose to be in in about two weeks.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"
