Something that made me smile today

I came up to a stoplight this afternoon in Huntington and this beauty was in front of me.

The beauty is not showing up...or is it just my old computer maybe?

Sorry, Fotki is giving me some trouble. I've re-uploaded.

My God, with West Virginia plates no less. Wow

[AchTTung]

Honestly, I was surprised by that, too. :)

Nice catch, I never get tired of seeing one. I just got bak from LA today, saw a couple of nice cars. I got to see a Audi R8 at speed. I was not a big fan but seeing it weave through LA traffic, WOW.

[AchTTung]

The R8 does look strangely proportioned from some angles in pictures. I finally got to see two at an HPDE at Nelson Ledges in August. One was driving, and the other showed up to watch for a bit. They're stunning in person--great presence.

The interior switchwork is great looking as well.

The guy driving hadn't done many track events, so he was taking it easy. I thought the exhaust note was pretty subdued, however. I've read all about how they shortened the exhaust versus the RS 4, so I was expecting...well more, I guess. It sounded good, just relatively quietly good, if that makes sense.

Yeah I saw one at Mid-Ohio this year. Don't get me wrong, it's a great car in person. It reminds me of a Henkel knife, pure precision. But yesterday I got the full on experience seeing it compared to other cars. Low, fast and surgical. I get it now.

[AchTTung]

No, I was agreeing with you. It may take seeing one in person to really appreciate it. : )

[kirk4]

I agree. Also, if you get a chance to see the Top Gear episode it helps. The selling point to me was seeing it beside all other normal cars, that drove it home. So I think we are saying the same thing only different.

I just saw the Ferrari as I was driving into work.
