Driving the 2003 Audi RS6

I just bought a prestine example of the awesome, unstopable RS6. It is absolutely amazing.. There are soo many cliche's about speed, but the best might be that it takes the horizon and head butt's it. Stupid fast.. Mine is a low 32K mile example that was chipped by Griffen Motorwerke in berkeley Ca. It now has 510 hp. It looks new. It should since it was garaged its whole life.
I have always wanted one of these cars. When I heard that they were coming to the USA I knew they would be expensive, but people were paying premiums over the $85 price tags. Mine was purchased for $96k. It was a year later that is was chipped by MTM for another $3k. This is obviously way too much for a car, but 32K sure isn't :).
One of the best things is that my daughter yells 'Woohoo!!' whenever I hit the loud pedal.. This was not a purchase taken lightly. But it was a case where the opportunity may not have come again and I would have regreted it for a very long time.
