Hello and welcome to Car Of The Day! I've been thinking about doing this for a while but haven't got around to it. It seems everyday i see a really unique car or something really exotic and today on the way home i saw TWO beauties parked next to each other so i thought id blast this off.

the R8 irl looks way smaller than i thought it actually was

[marvel]

well, if anyone ever gets in the passenger seat of an r8, don't make the same mistake as I did, don't say the sound system is decent. I remember when I said that the driver wanted to drop me off on the highway, apparently the sound system is bang & olufsen, if you don't know them just keep in mind that everything they produce is f!#@! expensive.

I'm sure the BJ you gave him more than made up for your obvious gaff. (Hey, why else would you be in the passenger seat of a car like that?)
