Default Followed an R8 through the holland tunnel...

and It was awesome. Especially the sound when he rev'd it. I cut off like 4 cars just to get behind him.

Cameraphone was busted, otherwise i'd have a picture to post.

It was definitely a better view than my normal drive through the tunnel.......

Still waiting to see an R8 in person (hasn't happened yet). I did end up one row over and two cars behind a Continental GT today though - nice car

Saw one at my local dealer and it was unreal. It looks even better in person. As does the new A5. I still really want them to throw the Rs6 engine in the R8 that would be incredible.

I hate the holland tunnel, always traffic. But wouldn't mind driving through there in an r8.

I saw an R8 in the dealership I bought my A4. He was having carbon fiber sides added to his car. It is definitly amazing seeing that beast in person....This guy bought the car with cash when he first saw in on the show floor. Must be nice to point at something and just drive it home. IT was his daily driving car as well. It also does not hurt to be a Hedge Fund Manager as well...haha...
