Default Got a new toy

Every once in awhile some confused soul decides they see the Audi and they want to jump out there. I toyed around with him for awhile but I spotted a Trooper around the 37 second mark I had to get him out of my business..

What is this supposed to show? All I see is you speeding past a trooper and cutting off a Jetta in order to do what exactly? Toy with a Charger? Seem's dangerous and done in poor taste.

It didn't look like he did anything wrong.....

Unless there is a first half we haven't seen.

I got this every day when I was driving my EVO8,9 or S55 AMG ! I got a A8 now and it happen once a month only ! Just ignore them and they will do a fly by. Just not worth it.

I get that as well. Every Charger thinks it's got something to prove..... step off little man, step off.

I can see here two guys proving something.

Just the other day friend of mine gave me a spin in his 20 years old BMW 318. Actually that's just how it looks, but it has Toyota Supra engine and transmission plus a big turbo and the rest that goes with it. 560HP at wheels, so around 600HP net. Try to prove anything with that guy and stay far behind in the dust. Charger can be easily one of those. It is simple and not too expensive to bust it a lot.

So far I've not had anyone act as though they want to race me in the A8 - it's just a big sedan, after all. In fact, one of the things I love about this car is how under-the-radar it is. OTOH, in my old '84 911, I constantly have the kiddos want to race. I just ignore it - it's stupid to race on public roads, and anyway, if I beat them, so what, I'm in a Porsche, and if I loose, they beat a Porsche. The funniest thing is that in a straight line, I'd put money on my A8 over my 911 every time.
