I thought wow, I'm never going to own one, then had 3 good years and dream became a reality

Stopped by an Audi dealership to get service for my RS6 set up and all the salesmen were looking at a computer screen making quality cave man noises.

I walked up, took a look and they were watching the video of the debut car driving through the AZ desert. I immediately started making the same cave man noises and thought "I want one."

A couple years later that thought came true.

The day I went in to pick up my 08 RS4 Cab, Dealer had just got one in. Was ready to trade in for it then but I had just traded in my 3 month old 07 S4 for it. Figured wife would kill me so drove the RS4 for a year then traded in for R8

Quick glance on a superbowl commercial.

First thoughts was "Meh, cool headlights."

Didn't research the car for a long time. Figured it was just a souped up TT or something.

I saw an ad at the Audi dealer and then went to the Auto Show in MPLS. I immediately put my name on the list for a car in late 2006. I saw my first R8 drive through my country club in the spring of '07. The owner received the second R8 in MN. We track our cars together now.

I really think the first time I saw the R8 was when I saw the movie Iron Man. After that, I knew I had to get one. Luckily, I sold my CL63 for a great number and had my R8 a week later.

At the Red Bull Air Races in San Diego, a Daytona Grey R8 was sitting way out on the edge of the elevator to the carrier deck of the USS Midway. Said "What is that!", and my son knew right away. Audi was one of the air race sponsors.

Saw my first one in a Audi Dealer front window one night about 3 years ago.

Knew nothing or had heard nothing about the R8.

It absolutely blew me away..particularly the engine exposed through the back window.

Bought one 6 months later.
