Default Thanks! Girlfriend said she saw an R8 here in Des Moines and the list just confirmed an Iowa R8

Not sure how she sees more Audi's than I. S8's R8's...I never run into them ;(

maybe she just draws more attention as a blonde in a TT

Default Also in Des Moines...

I'm in the Des Moines area as well, but have yet to see an R8 (or an RS4, for that matter). I have seen a couple S8's and one or two A5/S5's (not sure which, couldn't get close enough).

We'll keep our eyes open...my wife always shakes her head at my "Audi rubber-necking", but seeing an R8 in central Iowa would be a treat indeed.

Regards,
Joel

Default Only RS4's I've heard of are Cedar Rapids/Iowa City and Dubuque area

I'm one of two black B6 S4's that I've seen.

Default absolutely beautiful

I have a 2004 Mustang cobra with "much more than stock" horsepower, and this car gives me more goosebumps than the cobra. This S5 is sexy, and powerful. the sound is incredible, and the lines are beautiful.

I have NEVER bought a car to impress others--- I like them regardless of what others' think...but i have to tell you i have gotten more "thumbs up" and "head nods" in the 30 days i owned it than any other car i have owned.

Yes, it is a manual. and it shifts like butter- almost as good as my brothers Honda S2000 (no flames ---- i just think that is the best ****ing car i have ever driven....)

Default Re: absolutely beautiful

you should get on the local DSM site if you want.

We have some events and a good Audi owner base. One of the members is even a tech at Lithia.

www.euroblitz.org

Are you by chance in the central iowa mustang club?
