Went to Rusnak, sat in the RS4 and started it up and played with
it for a while (the car). I know the people there well. Offered it to me for a good price.. all I had to do is put 35k down on it to get my payments to 700 a month. WTF do you FF's make a year? Im just above 80K and I could not afford this car. You are all some baller, fortunate people. So what do I have to make a year to afford one?

What's a good price? Under MSRP by even one $? And what is a "FF"?
I dunno, $80k is a damn good living, obvious its well above the national average, and any state average. As for a $80k car on a $80k annual salary, I guess it could be done, it depends on how much you pay for housing (rent/mortgage) and whether you have kids or a woman to feed.
What does FF stand for btw?

You're doing great..
$80k at 20 yrs is an achievment most people in this country will not have made by that age. You must know that already.
The problem with putting so much money in a car like this at a young age is that you would be better off building equity in something, like a house. Cars (at least new ones) are horrible investments.
I would sooner (in your case) buy some real estate (in a safe investment area) and live in it for 3-5 years.
Down the road you'll be able to afford 2 of these cars.
Or you can throw caution to the wind and just enjoy your 20s while you don't have responsibilities. If you have a stable career and work in a stable industry, this is not a totaly stupid thing to do.
And you like Ramon Noodles right?
j/k about that last part.. Good luck and tell us what you end up doing

i agree, and would add...
...cars (most cars, that is) aren't investments at all, they're rapidly depreciating assets.
$80k is great at any age, really, but probably not the kind of salary that can support a well-rounded lifestyle that would include owning a RS4. If you look at Audi's demographics, the average RS4 owner makes around $250k.
As an interesting side note, there's an article about Rolls Royce in the new Motor Trend that states 40% of their customers own a jet! 40%!

it depends
If you want to spend 1/3 of your salary on a car payment, then go ahead. I guess for a lot of us it would be like if we were going to throw up money for a Mercedes Mclaren SLR. It can be done, but is it the smart thing?
