Very nice car, I know we talked about the RS4 at the meet. Did you trade in the Z and the RDX or just the Z?

We did talk quite a bit on it. This car just fell in my lap. I traded both the Z and RDX in. The only thing I dont like is that I dont have a car to haul stuff in. Really wished they sent the RS4 wagon over here.

I saw a certified 2008 RS4 for sale with under 20k miles for $55k.

Even an optimistic Edmunds estimate is only $45k. Bananas ... But it was awesome.

Honestly, I think I'd rather have the 3.0T S5 convertible. It's just a much better car having been designed to be a coupe/convertible from the outset.

Welcome to the Audi club! Gorgeous car!

Might I suggest LIGHT VERY LIGHT taillight tint? I always find it looks awesome on red cars because a red car with bright red tails=too much red IMO.

^ Not planning on abandoning the Accord. Week after next, I plan on installing the TL-S front sway and RV6 J-pipe. I'll be living in it for most of July, throughout the eastern US and Canada, so it has to be right.

As tempting as RS6 wheels may be, the ones on it look great as is. Thinking of an exhaust and a tune...but not sure which one to go with (JHM, Milltek, GMG, tubi?!?!...so many choices)

So I decided to put the RS4 (coined The Beast) through the rigors of my daily lifestyle. Thus, I'm going to be living in it for the next 3 weeks or so. Step one was yesterday, as I drove to NC.

The funny thing about owning this car (as opposed to the Z), is that people who know what it can do respect it. I get thumbs up and stares from car guys all the time. The average person ignores me (unlike in the Z, where that beautiful blue and dropped top would get me stares all the time).

On my way here, I ended up driving in extended stints with a Shelby Mustang (in AL), and a newer 5.0 Mustang (in SC). Both were fun and neither didnt try to outrun me or anything.

The car is just an absolute monster though. I had to break out the radar detector because it effortsly cruises at 80-85. 70 is just too slow. And the previous 2 owners never activated the cruise control from the factory, so I need to get to an audi dealer asap

The cruise control doesn't just work, it has to be activated by the dealer?

^ What about in the Raleigh area?

Apparently, VWs dont activate the CC until their cars get to the dealer. In my car's case, it was never activated...or so Ive been told.

Sick car, I love RS4's! Especially in red. Mirrors in black would look sick if you plan on keeping the wheels black.
