PS...Have you seen any other R8s yet?

I have yet to see one on the road at the same time as me. But there are 3 sitting in the Audi showroom, and maybe 2 more at the back...

I've never seen another one on the road since i bought mine over a year ago. I know ya'll are out there but not in LA it would seem!

Hi Robot - what is your cruising speed in your R8 most days? and what is the fastest you have gone in it? What a journey!

[09R8]

You my man are using your purchase the way it was meant to be. Hats off to you

Thanks 09r8 for the kind words...yes...there was a little accountant in the back of my head saying "you are going to seriously depreciate your car if you do this" and the devil in the front of my head saying "why the hell did you buy this thing if not to consume it in the most glorious fashion possible"

Devil won

Average speed has been about 85 on the freeways and whatever feels healthy on the twisty bits. When i get to the open desert at the end of the trip i'm sure i'll open her up a bit more. I will offer that without the valentine radar detector i'd be toast already.

Thanks for the support everyone...I'll keep you posted.

Wow. Must be very exciting to do that. I always wanted to do a cross country trip. Much respect and admiration to you~
