If you can afford an RS4, you can afford the expensive brake jobs.

Yeah, I love the RS4, but DAMN the maintenance is expensive.

I just ran into Mr. STI showoff guy from page 46 again. I was in the turn lane and he was on in the lane next to me on the highway. He launched it and went flying down the highway while I waited for my arrow to change... And in my mind I was thinking "Man, we've already been down this route before and you won't like the outcome this time any more than the last time." He especially won't like it a week from now :lol: I do have to say his car looks and sounds like sex though!

Some kid in what sounded like a i/h/e integra gs-r tried to get cute today with his girl in the car. Had to put a few bus lengths on him.

A talon, huh? I rarely see those around here, though there used to be one in our neighborhood. Kid used to street race it all the time, until he lost his license, wrecked a different kid's car, and got arrested. LOL.

No. I have no interest in street racing.

Yep. Looked as though it may be fast.

I get a LOT fewer challenges now that I took the Mazdaspeed emblem off the back of the car. Haven't had one since doing so.

And that crash on Stetson Hills has slowed me down significantly anyway. I'm actually driving like an old man at times now. Sobering.

A 350z wanted to play until he heard my BOV just now lol. I even slowed down way under the speed limit and he refused to get next to me again :p

Eric's BOV is actually a blow-off cannon. Scares Z cars so they limp away. :)
