You'd sink down into the mud quicker than it takes the R8 to get to 60mph (4.4 sec btw) because it's so heavy!

That thing is close to 1k lbs heavier than my car, and I tried going mudding last week.... I still haven't gotten all the mud/dirt off of Edgar yet because he sunk like a stone!

In 4.4 seconds you should be able to get to 60 before you hit the mud and just skim right accross the top...

Maybe in 2009 when we get the 10 cylinder R10's it will work better..

Or
We go pick the car up, do the service, and deliver it back to them. They aren't worried about the price of the service, they just want their toy to be there when they want, so they can play with it.

If they can afford the car, they can afford the work on it. If not, they shouldn't have bought the car.

You'd be surprised how many people stretch themselves thin by paying 60-80k for a car, and then freak out when a 5k mile service is $200.00. We've had tons of cars towed in after a Jiffy Lube service with an empty transmission and 12 quarts of oil in the engine. It then costs them $400.00 for us to straighten out that problem, and can easily run into the thousands if something is damaged.....

I hear that!

I own a Porsche and the plug wires alone are $300.00. Getting the oil changed is $250.00! SO I feel the pain! But it is worth every penny when you get it out on the track or the open road that you are pretty sure has no cops!!

Sadly...or not...with less than $20K total in my bike, it will hurt the new owners feelings badly.

Someone I know recently bought a Corvette Z06 and ended up selling the car at a loss because he couldn't afford new tires for it after he wore them down.

That's a nice looking car by the way.

Are serious that you have 2 pages to check the oil, not changing or fixing a thing?

Do they normally right things out in a rediculous manner on other Audis?
