Default Rare RS4 sighting (for me) - two at once on I-70 today driving down to Denver... 1 Daytona, 1 Sprint

Daytona or Sprint - you here ?

I was driving back down to Denver on I-70 from a long weekend of skiing in Breckenridge when I noticed an RS4 behind me - a Daytona. Fairly unusual as I rarely see another RS4. It followed me (in my wifes MDX) for a few miles and then just as it zoomed past as we were going up a steep hill (Floyd Hill for those familiar with the area) I was stunned to see another RS4 up ahead. Of course I pulled out behind the Daytona and would have failed miserably to keep up except for the amount of traffic. Anyway, we soon caught up with the second RS4 which was Sprint Blue.

The Daytona looked like he wanted to play, but with all the traffic the Sprint Blue couldn't really do anything. It was really quite a sight to see two RS4s together. It was only a shame I wasn't driving mine so there could have been 3 together. I'm not sure how many RS4s there are in the Denver area but it seems like this must be a fairly rare occurance.

Anyway, a fun ending to a great weekend skiing with my family.

Default funny how we love seeing others, but the M3 guys must just hate it.

That is, seeing 15 others at the grocery store. . .

Default What must have been really painful is...

<center><img src="http://www.irmin.com/wallpaper/Auta/Porsche%20GT.jpg"></center><p>I was in Miami Beach last year and on my walk back to the hotel I walk past two of these parked on the same side of the road and within a half a block of each other - same color. How would you like to spend 400k on a GT and park next to another one?

I wouldn't care at all. I'd be driving a Carrera GT.

Me too - but I always envisioned that for the person who would spend that much on one - they would

Default Sure I did. I feel that anyone who would genuinely care is terribly insecure...

I don't know about others, but I buy a car for my own enjoyment. I'd sure as hell would enjoy a CGT. I don't care if everyone on my block got one too, it doesn't effect what I drive.

I guess if I cared what people thought I wouldn't be driving a dated 3 generation too old entry level German wannabe sports sedan.

Default and one guy walks up to the wrong one...

Then the actual owner comes up wondering who is this jackass messing with his car. "oh he has one too, just like it, yeah right".

Default Not related to your RS4's spotting on I-70, but I saw an RS4 today ...

heading North bound on Speer Blvd. The black RS4, was plastered in dirty mag. chloride with a fully decked out Yakima ski rack. But what really struck me was the various stickers (Colo. and US flags, etc.) on the back lowers. I kept thinking that can't be...LOL.

Takes all sorts I guess. Placing cheap stickers on an RS4 seems a bit perverse
