Default Bought an RS5 AKA my dream car at 23

Hello my fellow Audi enthusiasts, its great to finally join this forum as a proud Audi owner. I feel so fortunate to be in this position and can't believe I'll actually be driving out of the dealership in this machine on Tuesday! Any other RS5 owners have some pro tips for a newbie like myself?

Default Congratulations and a word of caution...

… you have a wonderful car that exceeds all rational need but also seems to defy the laws of physics. The car handles so well and predictably. Law enforcement folks will have a sharp eye out for such a young person in such an expensive car. Drive like an old lady in town and save the aggressive driving for safe locations… In my case, nobody suspects an old fart like me to be a threat on the highway.

Happy Motoring

Eric

Congratulations on buying such an outstanding car at such a young age! My only advice from experience is that if you have to start out with something more basic you will appreciate the finer things in life as you get older. If you've already had them, there's not much that will impress you. ;-) Anyway, enjoy it. Awesome car!

Really nice of you to jump to that conclusion but 'Daddy' is a standard police officer. I come from a lower-bordering middle class family

WOW! Yours is an absolute beauty my friend! Thanks for the tip, I do love a good downshift (and of course, those incomparable up's) while taking it easy through town though
