Default Audi R8...

I just saw my first one driving around yesterday, it was black. Maybe the sexiest car i have ever seen in person. I wanted to know if anyone (outside of So Cal or NYC) seen these driving around yet?

I see about one a day at my job (driving by outisde at least)...One of my customers has one I've seen several times. His is the all grey version with the super rare carbon fiber side vents. He also has a Q7 and an S8. Cool guy (kind of cheap though!)

BTW I work inside the city of Atlanta.

mmm now we're talking...about important things. I have little doubt that at least one, possibly two R8's are in my vicinity (this area does, after all, contain a Ferrari enthusiast who has owned an Enzo, and a 550 Barchetta to name a few--both of which came as numbered production runs of about 350 cars and eighteen months ago the Enzo's market value topped $2 million) but I'm sure if I were still back home in the 858 area code, I would get to see an R8 every day, as it were.

That's what I mean, though, like with the Desomsedici, it's a shame that only a small percentage of owners will utilize it for its capabilities. More often, it's like that picture of the Hummer, and the caption says "Sorry about the *****".

Saw one at an auto show. Absolutely breathtaking in every way. I can't wait for the V10 version (though the V8 is pretty damn potent on it's own).

The R8 also inspired my recent headlight modification, so you KNOW it's one hell of a car! I like them in white.........
