It doesn't surprise me that JC smokes, but it does make me like him a little more (for the record, I don't smoke, but I absolutely hate people that whine about smokers - unfortunately, that is a category that includes my wife).
That road looks my daily commute this summer (Ike to Lower Wacker in Chicago). The Ike had a bunch of those manhole covers sticking up 3 or 4 inches, and you had little choice but to hit them at 50 miles an hour. Totally ruined the shocks on my A4, but the worst part is, it kept me from driving the RS to work all summer.

Seems like they always have some footage of cruising the streets of some city ... and then some footage of them winding out the cars on some back roads. I'm curious what roads they'll choose in the NY Metro area...

Strangely enough, they took out about one square block in the Dumbo area around the base of the Brooklyn bridge for the same feature (Brooklyn side, obviously). If you know that area, it's full of run-down warehouses and cobblestone roads... Can't begin to imagine how the RS is gonna ride there... <CRINGE>
