Default First run-in with a '04 S4

Driving on 78 westbound in NJ I drove past a brand new silver S4. I gotta say, it looked really sweet. I have been extremely skeptical about the look of the car since I saw the first pictures, but all those thoughts were erased when I saw this. I tried to get the guy to run with me for a bit, but he wasn't taking the bait. Still I can't wait for my first test drive in one.

Default I ran against a B6 S4 the other day and won but I think...

...it was a B6 A4 in disguise. The reason: it was pretty slow, I walked away from him.

It had all the markings of a B6 S4, including those black, protruding lower door panels. It looked great though.

Or maybe he was in the break-in period and didn't want to abuse the car.

Or maybe it was because I loaded up on race fuel. :-P

I guess only he will know. :-)

Default what's up brian, staying out of trouble? anymore gumball racing coming to the states?

a b6 S4 would make a pretty good cruiser for a gumball rally.

Default Gumball isn't in the states next year, but ...

I'm definitely in it. I can't give any more details, but it'll be a show to say the least Don't worry, as soon as I can, I'll let everyone know what's going on.

Default This didn't have the black door sills,

I'm pretty sure that the S4s coming to the states don't have that. I'm pretty sure that what you ran into was an A4 wanna be.
