    new car arrived... 1st R8

    At last after many months of searching, I have received my new R8 5.2.
    This car is addictive to drive and I can only describe it as "fluid motion"... everything is so smooth and strong... acceleration, braking et al.
    The manual shifter is also alot of fun.
    All passengers leave with a big smile, but not as big as mine.
    I look forward to exploring the car more each day.

    Nice! I can't imagine a beter looking color combo!

    If you have a chance, take a nice long road trip and see how wonderful it is to drive on the highway for a few hours at a stretch. Did you know that it will go from 36mph to 196mph without having to shift? So smooth. Feels more like flying than driving...

    Also, try to get it on a twisty road track when you can. It's a slingshot!

    A microfiber rag is good for wiping off the brake dust that gets on the paint behind the wheels. You'll use it alot.

    I got my car a month ago and I'm still obsessed with what it can do. Enjoy!

    Beautiful, my favorite exterior color combo, but I do find black boring as seat color, beige would have looked awesome here but it shows dirt real fast. Brown? yummy.

    Since we're on topic of colors, anyone opting for a gray interior, in any car, should be shot.

    A real congratulations to the ownership of a outstanding car.

    Lots of days ahead with big grin

    Have had 2 R8'S in the same color, so I definitely endorse your choice.

    I feel the same way and that has not changed. The fun is not just a short-lived novelty but real ongoing driving enjoyment.
