Default New addition to my stable

Picked up a 2011 Audi R8 Spyder V10. In addition to my 2006 Porsche 997. I initially intended to get rid of the Porsche and I'm glad I researched others here as they had made that step up and regretted it . It's a great car and is totally different experience than the Porsche and am so happy to have both. Picked it up in Utah and driving home to Florida. I'm going to enjoy the trip as well. Attached is pic of the camo wrap I recently installed on the 997

I had/have considered buying an R8 over my 911 (alas, I can't afford both). Tell us how it compares.....

LOVE R8's. Drove one a couple of years ago. There is a white one at the local dealer that looks killer. Your side panels are the same color as the body. I like that. Is that a modification?

Handicapped hanger - best way to avoid door dings.

Very nice choice. I drove a V8 R8 with a gated manual and really enjoyed it, just not enough to let my 997 go. Glad to see you're able to have both!

I noticed Heber too. I use to live there once upon a time. Excellent cars on both accounts.

That is my favorite car! A former boss has an all black V10 Spyder he let me drive a few times. I just loved it. The engine sound is awesome!

Heber city is a nice place, welcome to utah. Nice find.. I initially couldn't decide between an r8 or my 997.2, the 911 won but I love r8's. Congrats!
