WOW!

Just got back from delivering a game to a guy. He got his dolly out to see if it would be better to get the game inside... well, it wasn't, but was better for getting the game upstairs.... But, what did I spy in the garage? An Audi R8.

After we got the game set up, he tossed me the keys! OH MY GOD... THAT WAS FUN!

I popped the redline a couple of times after he took it out of automatic mode and put it into paddle shift but he just laughed. Went through the toll booth on the Dallas North Tollway doing 40 and was hitting the brakes to slow down at the end of the on ramp because I was already doing over 90 Mph. (SHORT ramp too!)

I don't think the smile will go off my face any time soon. :D

Coming back we went down a deserted side street near some corporate HQs and I nailed it. The traction control worked well going around the wet 90 degree corner and we were well above the 45 mph speed limit by the time I fully came out of the corner. (3 lanes, and I used all 3!)

WOW.... just wow.

I want one but won't get one any time during this lifetime. It cost more than my house.

Lucky bastard.....

Brave man to let a stranger drive his car, but damn cool regardless. Very nice car. I actually just watched Iron Man again last night. Best I have done was when my brother had his Acura NSX.
 
Oh man, that is so awesome. Really cool of the guy to let you drive it.

Those cars are so beautiful. How were the aural effects? Did it sound badass?
 
He had the satellite radio going with some techno (my favorite) and it sounded GREAT! The only thing sounding better was the growl of that engine. :D

I put a pic on the first post of the thread. It's a crappy cell phone pic. We pulled back up to the driveway and I turned the lights on in my truck to get this pic before it went back in the garage. I had him take that pic so I could show my kiddo. :D
 
V8 and it sure looked purdy under that rear window glass!
