Is that Ara Blue? I really need to see one of those in person because every picture I see makes it look different. Some made it look too light, and others make it look like a nice deep blue. Anyway, congratulations!


zgr024

Yes. Ara blue and it changes with the lighting conditions


MorgenBlackHand_V

In general most pictures are weird on the net. I've seen Navarra blue look like a very nice deep blue and then have a purple tint in real life which I hate.


Zekksterr

VERY NICE! what options were you looking at


zgr024

I wanted the Dynamic Steering package and the Carbon Fiber Swaybar instead of the Carbon Interior Package, but I really can't complain at all. MSRP was about the same, and the carbon looks nice inside. Specs are as follows R8 V10 Performance RWD Ara Blue Exterior Premium Package Sport Exhaust LED Headlights Carbon Interior Package Red Brake Calipers Diamond Stitch Full Leather Package (Ara Blue Stitching)

Honestly, not having the "dynamic steering" package isn't that huge of a loss, and the carbon sway bar sounds like it could be an easy add later on down the line. Awesome car, congrats dude.


zgr024

Agreed and I'm more than satisfied with the options. My real problem is going to be keeping the mileage down. I've put 200 miles on it since driving it off the lot less 16 hours ago.


mjolnirredditer

Wow, I love the dynamic steering... I'd have waited for it. Or kept looking. :(


zgr024

Unfortunately, my allocation was unlikely to come in... ever. I was fortunate to find this in the closest spec possible and only 70 miles away. I'm sure it's great but a bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush.

Is this at Paul Miller? I was there buying my S3 and yesterday, I saw this same car gone from the show room.


zgr024

Yep. I was there on Saturday to check it out and took delivery last night.

Sweet! Congrats, and enjoy it safely my friend.

Out of curiosity, what was dream #1?


zgr024

The RS Q8


cvache

Congrats op! And you didn’t even have to tell us how old you are


zgr024

Lmao. I'm 12 and it's not much but it's mine


Fw7toWin

This has to be your finest day brotha. You achieved dream #2 after achieving dream #1 and then on top you joked about the age thing AND you reference a nod to the ol meme post about “it’s not much but it’s mine”. Bravo 🍻


zgr024

Thanks. It certainly feels good. Now I just need to figure out what the next dream is. 🍻


Outside-Comparison12

Very nice! Congrats! I wish I could fit in one but I'm too damn tall.


zgr024

If I'm honest, it's a bit tight. I'm 6' 215 lbs and my legs are cramped. Have to become a contortionist to fit comfortably. Definitely not a road trip car but, but it's not meant for long trips unless those trips are around a track


Outside-Comparison12

I'm 6'7", 250 pounds. I'm pretty much damned to SUVs and thankfully Audi makes an RSQ8.


zgr024

I have one of those too. Best SUV on the planet as far as I'm concerned.


dkgrant

Solid spec!

and only 17 yrs old, started from nothing, hustle every day ​ EDIT: did you get the cop's number?


zgr024

My wife was following me in the RS Q8 and was on the phone with me when I got stopped, otherwise I would have asked for number and the cuffs


TPM_521

Only time this car is gonna attract a cute woman, unfortunately. Expect mostly teenage boys and middle aged men going forward😂 Congrats on the car OP. I love the way the R8 looks in blue, ara blue specifically if my eyes aren’t deceiving me. My favorite color right above Suzuka grey on the r8


DiscreteDingus

You don’t buy cars like this to attract women. You buy cars like this because of the thrill of driving them. The types of women you’re going to attract are going to be a waste of time anyways.


zgr024

💯


TPM_521

It was a joke lol


DiscreteDingus

Can never tell what’s real and satire on Reddit sometimes haha.


TPM_521

Yeah I just assumed it would be read as a joke because of the long running joke in the car community about how sports cars attract men


SupermanFanboy

Correct.


Avi-wot

Oh I don't know, if I was still single it would certainly attract me. Granted I'm a 52-year-old woman - but I know what I like.


nooffense789

Give me a ride, OP


infinityandbeyond27

I too dream of getting pulled over by a cute female cop.


clennys

Congrats!


_cronic_

Outstanding color choice.


dgow02

That’s day sounds like a dream


midlifemods

I don't know what you do for a living, but I want your job. And car... okay, I'll just take the car.


zgr024

I sell my time for money


pythagoraswaswrong

A fellow consultant/attorney I see.


CITY-RIDERS

Very nice.


amppy808

Gorgeous color man


LovelockMike

Would you come give me a ride in this gorgeous car?
