Stupid, Impressive, Fail? You decide...

For some reason this bothered me. I'm sorry, but if I had a $100,000+ car I would not be driving it in the snow and salt with random idiots who think they can drive in the snow but can't. She would be in a heated garage with way to much wax and my semen all over the floor. Plus it doesn't help the guys case when hes a douche. Take pride in your shit dummy.

Ps - R8 is not a car I really like but none the less its still awesome.

RCubed 12-29-2009 06:29 PM

I dont think there's anything wrong with that'
props to him for actually driving his car and not 'garage queen'ing it for 10 months a year'

HCR32 12-29-2009 06:30 PM

He's just to cocky. I wouldn't be driving that car in the snow either.

May be $100,000 to him is like a penny to you? Do you really care about a penny?

In case you didn't read the context of the video:

1. Guy is NYT automotive contributor.
2. Car is loaner from Audi.
3. Typical car reviewer shenanigans.

nothing wrong with driving a R8 in the snow given it has a set of snow tires. it'll just end up with surface scratches all over the paint, but doesnt seem like he cares, and looks like he lives in a shitty house to be able to afford such a car.

JSALES 12-29-2009 06:35 PM

i was expecting his house to be nicer. who knows though, that R8 could be his beater or perhaps even a rental? haha

lol i was about to say he's got a pretty shitty house in a shitty neighborhood for a R8 owner

marc0lishuz 12-29-2009 09:52 PM

Why would it bother you? It's not your car.

Props to him for driving it in those conditions, whether to prove a point, or just being cocky.

The_AK 12-29-2009 10:09 PM

But more importantly, the world's widest side of snow tires.

fishing666 12-29-2009 10:18 PM

well cars are too be used..

skyxx 12-29-2009 10:30 PM

R8's a good daily driver. :) I would drive it everyday. Why not?

vexor 12-29-2009 10:48 PM

Fail for going to bed bath and beyond

GabAlmighty 12-29-2009 10:50 PM

I'd buy him a beer

lilaznviper 12-29-2009 11:05 PM

props to the guy driving the car through the snow
cars are meant to be driven and not garaged parked

TRD Rs200 12-29-2009 11:39 PM

hes too cocky, but i would take the R8 in the snow also, given its got the world's wildest set of snow tires

Blinky 12-29-2009 11:48 PM

This thing got turbo? ;)

SolidPenguin 12-30-2009 12:22 AM

I think the fifth gear MC12 video hurts more. But its good to see that kind of attitude sometimes for a supercar. Its meant to be driven.

monkeywrench 12-30-2009 12:30 AM

im more glad to see him driving that R8 in the snow than the 18 year olds who are driving an R8 in richmond

this guys putting quattro to use too
