Rich people are rich for a reason, and don't try to tell me that's not because they could make a nun have a spontaneous orgasm by wishing them a good afternoon. Impeccable social awareness is 100% the key to being wealthy.
Earlier at Audi: Okay, engineering team, we've outlined the top priorities that consumers want when shopping for a super car. Supercar design goals: - 550+hp - 0-60 times of 3.6 or better - .95 lateral g force - refrigerator
Mini-fridge for insulin and other temperature sensitive medication. I'm a younger dude and I need medication that needs to be stored below a certain temperature.

Watched this video and was immensely jealous of the fact that I would probably never get to drive an R8 in my life. Neighbor up my street let me take a look at his '14 V8 R8 manual today. Whilst checking it out and talking to him he let me take it for a spin. Made my fucking day. Didn't even think he would suggest I take it for a ride. Genuinely suprised I fit in the car so well for being 6'8" and overweight. Car is surprisingly quiet on the road at low-mid rpms. Using the gated shifter is nowhere near as hard as people make it out to be, I was able to make swift and precise shifts without looking or thinking about the gates. That metal click is amazing and I now wish my EvoX has a gated shifter. Downshifting was nice, but my legs felt a bit too squished to perform at my norm. Only drove around the neighborhood for 15ish minutes. I felt really awesome and super cautious when driving the R8. That was really nice of him. #TodayWasAGoodDay
I think a good way to describe an R8 is that it is a professional fighter wearing a suit. He looks like any other semi formal dressing business man who probably has some financing bachelor's degree, but he has a deep appreciation and understanding of something he's passionate and capable of that is not just doing his work at his job, and he can destroy you when he wants.
A good way to describe the R8 is the supercar you get if you wanna brag with the fact that you have a supercar and gotta rub it in every "peasant's" face. Even though everything with the supercar definition walks it any day, be it straight line or track. The type of owner who wanks one off to the car even though it's not even that special.
an interesting point; rich bastards flaunting it go for ferarri/lambo rich fellows who worked for it go for supercar entries of "lesser" brands like audi, because often times for comparable prices the performance is better. they dont really care about showing off, they just want to daily a rifle bullet
Ryukachoo this is what helped me learn to love sports cars. always hated the pretention of supercars, but now I know about cars like the SW20, the Integra, etc? so great
I would think a supercar company’s “basic car” would have a slightly less quality than a normal/slightly higher up car companies top-of-the-line if-your-buying-this-then-it-should-be-perfect

That speech on the end was more beautiful than anything I wrote in highschool or college creative writing. Such passion and understanding, and really hit home with me since I too, am one of those types of guys, who drives an entry level sports vehicle (although sport bike, not car), and isn't interested at turning every head out there. One who doesn't own the flashy, or highest BHP bike, but one who does genuinely use 100% of the BHP I have. Sure, it's the smallest CBR they make, but it's mine. I've pushed it as far as it goes, not just in top speed, but cornering and breaking too. I know one day it will be too small, and that day may have already come, but there is something about scraping pegs on what's considered "barely a sport bike" that gets admiration from the true riders I meet. Sure, anyone can buy a bike and enjoy the thrill of riding, but there's a certain rider who doesn't shame anything below the very best. That middle aged rider who looks at my 125 the way a father looks at his son when he finishes Stairway to heaven on his hand me down guitar for the first time. He won't be a pro anytime soon, but there's a certain fondness for the newby's who love all of their craft, not just the extremes. That rider is who I actually enjoy talking to. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you have to ask what the horsepower is, or why someone would ever buy that vehicle, than you're just never going to understand. You either get it, or don't. It's about genuinely loving, and defending, the vehicle you chose to get not because you needed it, but wanted it.
I will never own a "sportbike" bigger than 600cc. My CBR600 was right at the limit of power a machine can use in a corner, without losing the rear grip. I currently ride an 1100cc 80s Yamaha. Although every bit as fast in a straight line, the cornering just isn't the best. The fun part is making it handle that way with mods. Irespect small displacement bikes because they are a testament to riding skill.
I doubt you'll see this, but holy shit your sensory imagery alone is enough to make any car come to life in my mind, as well as makes me want to own one... You're really great at what you do. Keep it up!
The R8 isn't for the rich man. It is for the enthusiast who knows that a Ferrari has nothing on a true supercar. The supercar with a monstrous father, the Avus. The R8 is the pinnacle of a supercar. And is driven by the common man with enough money to drive one. Beautiful.

Holy piss I am supremely jealous of you! This has been my dream car for the last.... 7 or 8 years of my life. Every time I see a picture of it online or in a magazine, I just stare at it and read and re-read every word and sentence that the picture has to do with. I think I *once* saw one in real life drive ahead of me. Perhaps it was wishful thinking and I only thought I saw it from a distance, when it may have been something else, but I nearly flipped my shit. Very nice review, I loved the insight you gave and questioned on expensive, luxury supercars such as this. Thank you!
icecreampimpdeux Thanks for the motivation! If I end up staying steady on my goal to become a Hardware Engineer / R&D, and get up the ranks in Nvidia or Intel or something one day, I may just be able to afford one of these!
It’s a “regular car” in the sense that it’s more discreet than that of a Ferrari or a Porsche, or a Lamborghini. The body lines of the R8 are to make it look more expensive than it is, yet it blends its expensive girthiness with that of a TT Quattro, making the R8 look like a widebodied (Liberty Walked if you will) TT-RS.
I think supercars are built for you to not ignore the money. You're supposed to aspire for it, this however seems like the "enthusiasts" choice, the manual trans, N/A V10, something about it screams wealthy car enthusiasts choice.
By far one of the best reviews, not convoluted with ridiculous analogies, actual analysis and wonderful analogies that relate to the car and a just fantastic job showing us what makes this car so amazing
Xtoxin loli-necronomicon Aston Martins are the type of car you want for the beauty and exquisite styling of Britain's best supercar, something for people to look at and enjoy and for you to drive in a fun manner. Audi R8 is something you buy to have as a regular car that can do it all and, while it looks good and people will like to look at it, it wasn't purchased for that reason. You bought it because you want something fast and fun and to fill your car guy enthusiast sweet spot, but can still handle every day routines and errands.
Only recently discovered your channel, and my goodness, excellent work. I'm in southern WV with a 2009 M5 if you ever wanna play around with another V10, be glad to have you roast it.
My towns car scene is full of kids that don't get these kind of cars. They can never see themselves driving them so they don't get excited about them. I love supercars, I can't wait to own one someday!!! It's sad how people look down on things just because they believe they are being looked down on themselves. Generally speaking the only person looking down on them is themselves. I met a gentlemen at a track day with a gallardo superleggera and he was extraordinarily humble and genuinely interested in cars. It was the kids with Subaru's and evos walking around like their shit don't stink looking down on people. Hypocrisy is a strange and funny beast. To me this is a regular super car, I can see owning one someday a real possibility. Hyper cars like the veyrons and limited edition Aston's seem somewhat out of reach but I will still carry hope. This is the best review you have ever done!!! Fantastic work and keep it up. Someday I hope to carry on a conversation with you and Mr Roman because I find your intelligence fascinating. Cheers:-)
I thought he would save his super car reviews for Christmas like he did for the last two years, but I have no problem watching these reviews I love them
I've watched dozens of your reviews, and it's the beatnik writing that makes these great. This one has the best of all I've seen so far. I'm glad you've found the viewers to make this your livelihood, and I am hoping Jeremy Clarkson snatches you up and makes you able to afford the cars you like best. You make me laugh and the reviews are just the right amount of depth and ridiculousness. And then you say things like "Serious as Salvia" and I fall on the floor giggling.
bfchang I'd say neither. Those are like the anti-Miatas, other than being relatively affordable compared to a Ferrari. The Miata of supercars would be something that relies on simple mechanical bits, lightweight materials and an expertly tuned suspension rather than computer-controlled AWD. If the Alfa Romeo 4C or Lotus could perform like a Corvette Z06, that would be the Miata of supercars. Actually, maybe the Corvette is the answer, as counter-intuitive as that feels to say.
Well.... I drove the new R8 at Extreme Experience a month ago. I have to say. It was the most thrilling experience ever! I have met and driven my idol! It was such a humbling experience and made me want to do better with myself financially to at least get a $60,000 older model with the gated shifter. Good job Audi, my fanboyism is even higher now.
yeah but the car is stock, has had it's inspections, there really wouldn't be any reason to believe the speedo would be off by that much espcially north of 90 mph lol
I might actually know the owner of that car. There was a supercar enthusiast that lived down the block from me that cycled through supercars every few years. Two most memorable for me was the grey Ford GT and the R8.
Great stuff. Can't believe you did the entire show on Route 46 & a bit of I-80 all in Parsippany. The second fastest highway in Jersey was just a hop and skip away (I-280). Would have loved to see that thing open up!
claiming to have mistaken thr clutch for the brake was an uncomfortable moment for me. As well as you I'm assuming. As well as the owner (especially the owner)
Good review. Though you pussied it around like you were driving a million dollars. I can sense the owner was disappointed in you. lol Not because of social status, but because you never really felt the power band. You most likely wouldn't have driven that careful in your own car. Perhaps when it comes to future cars, you can sit along side the driver as well as doing your own filming driving, as they will show you first how they drive it, and then you can be ok with how that you really open it up? I really like the Hunter S Thompson style of the narration, though it is to calm, you sound a good bit like Mr. Smith talking to Neo. Still love it all, just thought you might appreciate some critique. I definitely see this car differently now, wouldn't have even considered it to be in the Ferrari realm. Its beauty is indeed growing on me. And I agree about the Italian stallion, it isn't done as well as it should be for the cost. Like a track car that is made to be a street car, and therefore people don't expect a lot from it.
Christopher Harper He did a review of a Porsche (Cayman, I think) a while ago, maybe a year ago. His narration is supposed to be a "Fear and Loathing" parody IIRC, you should check it out
Matt Bonaccio Yes, yes that is a wonderful one. I can't however get that feel out of my head, almost seems like most of his work it has that kind of feeling. Though not the "fear and loathing" feeling, but perhaps more like "the rum diaries" It has been a week, and I have been binge watching. Almost caught them all. Just fascinating work!
18:57 was a great visual of the sound of a V-10 pseudo-supercar meaning nothing to the man to the right hoofing his way to the next pointless stop of many in his life. The art of juxtaposition. Great review by the way (both Regular and Roman).
You know, Audi, as a brand, is more of a low profile-looking car and that's what I REALLY like about it. It's something that wouldn't really catch your eye just cruising down the street. As far as style goes, I like a look that's subtle with a high-class flare, and that's what Audi does. And I love it.
The description of the RCR reads: "Reviews of regular cars for mortals." This R8 is kind of outside the regular car budget anymore... The whole comparison between the R8, the 360 and the Lamborghini was to justify that actually it has to say: "Reviews of cars for regular mortals" Love the video guys! d:)b
Omg this is the first video of yours I've seen and I absolutely love the almost overly jokingly poetic way that you talk. I'll definitely be watching more
the clutch is only necessary when the engine is running, because if you try to shift while the engine and gearbox are turning, you will grind the gears if the RPMs aren't matched correctly (which most people could find difficult). that's why there is a clutch, it allows you to change from gear to gear while the car is running, without having to stop the engine or match the RPM's. so you CAN shift without the clutch, but every time you get it wrong (which you eventually will) you will do damage to your gearbox
This... this is it. I don't think I've ever experienced a review of any car as strong as this. I am left impassioned, in awe. Thank you very much, Mr. Regular, Roman and all else who made this review possible. I am a better man now.
Recently subscribed and really enjoying the channel as I plumb the depths of the older videos. I appreciate the writing. Not often enough I get to dust off some of the old SAT words and talk about diarrhea.
Pierre C They weren't fleeing from Juarez with a boot filled with nose candy and a cheap hooker screaming "andale gringo!" Cause I'm almost positive I saw speedy Gonzalez driving that porshe.
Roman's narrative was so smooth and refined, yet embodied with the essence of true passion. Both Mr. Regular and the Roman possess linguistic abilities on par with Thoreau or Marcus Aurelius, but manage to apply it without a posh syntax. Even though these videos are about regular cars and regular people, I can't help but leave with a desire to become a much more well read man.
This show is so much better than the American Top Gear. Just enough nuances in opinion to capture that U.K. Top Gear feel while keeping the originality strong. One of the best car shows currently happening in Top Gears current absence. IMO The Best
This had more theory and explanation of car culture than any other video, totally loved it. Plus I know exactly where u guys shot this video, very close to where I live. Now I know who has that R8, seen it on a few occasions.
Damn I didn't know you could get this car in manual. That makes it even more badass. I saw a guy who was in his 20's driving one of these on the weekend. Was probably his too (not mommy or daddys) since there's alot of money to be made in Alberta if you are willing to work hard. I know there's a welder here that bought one in cash. There's also a young guy around here with a porsche GT3.
Tad Ghostal I don't think the guys here making $250k/year welding care about that. There is more money than brains in this province. I know some old welders who are healthy but met one guy who was a structural welder that developed dementia at 54 who can't enjoy the money he has earned now (can't work anymore either).
I worked for herb chambers BMW in Boston around this time. Herb had one of these as his daily. He'd show up, park on Comm ave, have a valet take the parking ticket that he'd always get because you can't park there on comm ave and the dealer would pay it.
I saw an R8 at a gas station and could not resist recreating some Wayne's World esque bowing with my friends. I thought driving a Mercedes 500Sel Diplomat series (yes like the one princess diana had with the double pane glas windows and tiny flagpoles on the trunk) was amazing but the sheer privelage of driving an R8 is a dream to me
"Could we keep up with him?"
"No."
"Oh-"
"We would destroy him."
Perfect.
Palmput I smiled too when Ope said that
Palmput that's why he ran
The way he said it added to his mysteriousness.

Palmput Oh please, even a 997 Turbo S can smoke a R8 V10
"Could we keep up with him?"
"No....**times his pause perfectly** we would destroy him."
Yeah, I see why this man owns an R8 now.

Thank you, i added it
Seeing you finally get to another supercar is worth the sleep deprivation
"No, we would destroy him!"
I like the owner of this R8
That car sure is regular :p
***** That's what part of the narrative was about. What makes this a "regular" car.
Charles Corbett Yep.
It’s a “regular car” in the sense that it’s more discreet than that of a Ferrari or a Porsche, or a Lamborghini. The body lines of the R8 are to make it look more expensive than it is, yet it blends its expensive girthiness with that of a TT Quattro, making the R8 look like a widebodied (Liberty Walked if you will) TT-RS.
Exactly, does not qualify as a sleeper at all.
I think supercars are built for you to not ignore the money. You're supposed to aspire for it, this however seems like the "enthusiasts" choice, the manual trans, N/A V10, something about it screams wealthy car enthusiasts choice.
Is this Matt Farah's million mile Lexus?
It's Doug Demuro's Skyline
No, its a corolla with a custom 2.6l 3cyl diesel swap
It's sponge bobs burger car
With a diesel swap
No, it's the 98 Jetta, Mr. Regulars most hated car
By far one of the best reviews, not convoluted with ridiculous analogies, actual analysis and wonderful analogies that relate to the car and a just fantastic job showing us what makes this car so amazing
The Audi R8, gentleman's supercar.
Kaan Yağmur No. Those are the austin martins.
Xtoxin loli-necronomicon you do mean Aston Martin's right? An Austin is nothing near a supercar lol
macdel69 lol. Thanks auto-correct..
Xtoxin loli-necronomicon Aston Martins are the type of car you want for the beauty and exquisite styling of Britain's best supercar, something for people to look at and enjoy and for you to drive in a fun manner.
Audi R8 is something you buy to have as a regular car that can do it all and, while it looks good and people will like to look at it, it wasn't purchased for that reason. You bought it because you want something fast and fun and to fill your car guy enthusiast sweet spot, but can still handle every day routines and errands.

As soon as the Roman jumped in and started off with "If Tales of Symphonia taught me anything" I lost my shit xD .
+JoeytheJoeyX3 FUCK YES! TALES IS THE SHIT! HUMAN RANCHES!

I GOTTA KILL MY BROTHER IN LAW... oh wait wrong Tales
Only recently discovered your channel, and my goodness, excellent work. I'm in southern WV with a 2009 M5 if you ever wanna play around with another V10, be glad to have you roast it.
My towns car scene is full of kids that don't get these kind of cars. They can never see themselves driving them so they don't get excited about them. I love supercars, I can't wait to own one someday!!! It's sad how people look down on things just because they believe they are being looked down on themselves. Generally speaking the only person looking down on them is themselves. I met a gentlemen at a track day with a gallardo superleggera and he was extraordinarily humble and genuinely interested in cars. It was the kids with Subaru's and evos walking around like their shit don't stink looking down on people. Hypocrisy is a strange and funny beast. To me this is a regular super car, I can see owning one someday a real possibility. Hyper cars like the veyrons and limited edition Aston's seem somewhat out of reach but I will still carry hope. This is the best review you have ever done!!! Fantastic work and keep it up. Someday I hope to carry on a conversation with you and Mr Roman because I find your intelligence fascinating. Cheers:-)

Raymond Newbill nice words
You need to review Doug's Skyline now :)
***** neither is an R8, or a Ferrari.
Ibuprofenized They are common in other parts of the country.
p387t I thought there are only 20 in the country?
carlo minneci Lol there's more than 20 here in South Florida alone. Hell, I've driven one.
Ibuprofenized I see R8's every day on Long Island. Hell even in average areas.
The commentary, all jokes aside, was incredibly profound. Well done!
Did anyone else say "whaaaaat..?" When they saw this video in there sub box?!
I never would have thought for him to review an R8
Bard Ketypzs I thought it was the more subtle Audi R8 V8 version, but no, my skin got cold once I double-checked the title.
I thought he would save his super car reviews for Christmas like he did for the last two years, but I have no problem watching these reviews I love them
Bard Ketypzs Yes, big time
N.
I've watched dozens of your reviews, and it's the beatnik writing that makes these great. This one has the best of all I've seen so far. I'm glad you've found the viewers to make this your livelihood, and I am hoping Jeremy Clarkson snatches you up and makes you able to afford the cars you like best. You make me laugh and the reviews are just the right amount of depth and ridiculousness. And then you say things like "Serious as Salvia" and I fall on the floor giggling.
so is the R8 or the GTR the miata of supercars
Is it just me or does the R8 owner sound exactly like the Roman?
Actual the Honda Civic is the Miata of super cars cuz VTEC.
I think it's the r8 it's simply lighter
bfchang I'd say neither. Those are like the anti-Miatas, other than being relatively affordable compared to a Ferrari. The Miata of supercars would be something that relies on simple mechanical bits, lightweight materials and an expertly tuned suspension rather than computer-controlled AWD. If the Alfa Romeo 4C or Lotus could perform like a Corvette Z06, that would be the Miata of supercars. Actually, maybe the Corvette is the answer, as counter-intuitive as that feels to say.
I'd say a porsche 911 gt3 rs 997.2
You know these are more than reviews; you guys are definitely highly educated, and there's a lot of deep thinking about cars here. Love it
Is that Matt Farrah's million mile Lexus?
Jk plz don't kill me...
The mob has been sumoned they will be at your door shortly
No this is not Matt Farah's Million Mile Lexus
Well.... I drove the new R8 at Extreme Experience a month ago. I have to say. It was the most thrilling experience ever! I have met and driven my idol! It was such a humbling experience and made me want to do better with myself financially to at least get a $60,000 older model with the gated shifter. Good job Audi, my fanboyism is even higher now.
I literally was just about to go to bed.... nope lol
Same
Go to bed
"Could we keep up with him"
"No"
"Oh really?"
"No we would destroy him"
XDDDDDDDDD
hehe
Look here anime boy, you got the quote all wrong.
when i need a ghostwriter for my biography i think it will be you
hmm. blurring the gauges. is that so you don't get in trouble with the police?
Watchu talkin bout? I don't see anything suspicious. :P
I wonder if that could even incriminate someone. You could easily claim that the speedo needs calibration.
yeah but the car is stock, has had it's inspections, there really wouldn't be any reason to believe the speedo would be off by that much espcially north of 90 mph lol
it was so he didn't have to admit that he was actually going 55 in an R8
He was driving on Route 287. Cops literally don't care if you go 80MPH on that highway and the speed limit is 65.
Man, I knew that road looked familiar. Parsipany, NJ. Route 46.
Laree Cisco Music i want to see some supercars in parsippany, not many
I might actually know the owner of that car. There was a supercar enthusiast that lived down the block from me that cycled through supercars every few years. Two most memorable for me was the grey Ford GT and the R8.
Great stuff. Can't believe you did the entire show on Route 46 & a bit of I-80 all in Parsippany. The second fastest highway in Jersey was just a hop and skip away (I-280). Would have loved to see that thing open up!
claiming to have mistaken thr clutch for the brake was an uncomfortable moment for me. As well as you I'm assuming. As well as the owner (especially the owner)
The monologues were pure brilliance.
Good review.
Though you pussied it around like you were driving a million dollars.
I can sense the owner was disappointed in you. lol
Not because of social status, but because you never really felt the power band.
You most likely wouldn't have driven that careful in your own car.
Perhaps when it comes to future cars, you can sit along side the driver as well as doing your own filming driving, as they will show you first how they drive it, and then you can be ok with how that you really open it up?
I really like the Hunter S Thompson style of the narration, though it is to calm, you sound a good bit like Mr. Smith talking to Neo.
Still love it all, just thought you might appreciate some critique.
I definitely see this car differently now, wouldn't have even considered it to be in the Ferrari realm. Its beauty is indeed growing on me. And I agree about the Italian stallion, it isn't done as well as it should be for the cost. Like a track car that is made to be a street car, and therefore people don't expect a lot from it.
Christopher Harper He did a review of a Porsche (Cayman, I think) a while ago, maybe a year ago. His narration is supposed to be a "Fear and Loathing" parody IIRC, you should check it out
Matt Bonaccio
Yes, yes that is a wonderful one.
I can't however get that feel out of my head, almost seems like most of his work it has that kind of feeling. Though not the "fear and loathing" feeling, but perhaps more like "the rum diaries"
It has been a week, and I have been binge watching. Almost caught them all.
Just fascinating work!
Really loved the passion in last bit of the video. Good job bois!

@@malikcutchin A person of culture as well, I see.
@@jackmcdonald8355 yeah that game is one of the reasons why I want the Audi R8 and the Lamborghini Murcielago
18:57 was a great visual of the sound of a V-10 pseudo-supercar meaning nothing to the man to the right hoofing his way to the next pointless stop of many in his life. The art of juxtaposition. Great review by the way (both Regular and Roman).
You know, Audi, as a brand, is more of a low profile-looking car and that's what I REALLY like about it. It's something that wouldn't really catch your eye just cruising down the street. As far as style goes, I like a look that's subtle with a high-class flare, and that's what Audi does. And I love it.
SS Mason ooohhh my BRANDS
exactly why i've owned a b6 and now a b8 s4. sheep in wolf's clothing.
maybe where you live.. but driving an Honda Accord in my country is enough to let people know how rich you are.
The closing statements were PROPERLY beautiful to listen to and ponder upon.
when he drives cars he's like a 5 year old in a candy store. "WOW YOU GOTTA TURN THAT KEY HARDER THAN I EXPECTED THATS CRAZY" haha good video
The description of the RCR reads:
"Reviews of regular cars for mortals."
This R8 is kind of outside the regular car budget anymore... The whole comparison between the R8, the 360 and the Lamborghini was to justify that actually it has to say:
"Reviews of cars for regular mortals"
Love the video guys! d:)b
i just want a metal gated shifter
You can tell how luxurious the car being reviewed is by how slowly Regular speaks
"If Tales of Symphonia taught me anything..."
BWAHAHHAHAHA
Omg this is the first video of yours I've seen and I absolutely love the almost overly jokingly poetic way that you talk. I'll definitely be watching more
"Audi dealers have the BEST oil! But that's just fiiiine."
Thank you for the Tales of Symphonia bit, brought a tear to my eye bruv
roman's part was fucking fantastic.
was down right hilarious
The most heavenly sound in the world: the snick-CLICK of that gearshifter. Nothing else compares
1:35 is it okay to shift the gears without your foot on the clutch? I have always thought it's not good for the car, even when it's shut off.
Yep.
GT6SuzukaTimeTrials if the engine is not on, then it doesn't matter
GT6SuzukaTimeTrials if you know what you're doing it's fine. I used to shift without the clutch all the time in my old prelude. It's all about timing
Then why does the clutch exist if you don't need to use it?
the clutch is only necessary when the engine is running, because if you try to shift while the engine and gearbox are turning, you will grind the gears if the RPMs aren't matched correctly (which most people could find difficult). that's why there is a clutch, it allows you to change from gear to gear while the car is running, without having to stop the engine or match the RPM's. so you CAN shift without the clutch, but every time you get it wrong (which you eventually will) you will do damage to your gearbox
This... this is it. I don't think I've ever experienced a review of any car as strong as this. I am left impassioned, in awe. Thank you very much, Mr. Regular, Roman and all else who made this review possible. I am a better man now.
I like this styling better than the squarey new one
Recently subscribed and really enjoying the channel as I plumb the depths of the older videos. I appreciate the writing. Not often enough I get to dust off some of the old SAT words and talk about diarrhea.
NOT REGULAR NOT REGULAR
God damn, Roman just dropping the deepest car review, EloquentCarReviews.
Oh hey route 287 on the way to Boonton whilst chasing that Poursh-uhhhhh. We see you.
you mean 287 on the way to tijuana
Pierre C They weren't fleeing from Juarez with a boot filled with nose candy and a cheap hooker screaming "andale gringo!" Cause I'm almost positive I saw speedy Gonzalez driving that porshe.
Roman's narrative was so smooth and refined, yet embodied with the essence of true passion. Both Mr. Regular and the Roman possess linguistic abilities on par with Thoreau or Marcus Aurelius, but manage to apply it without a posh syntax. Even though these videos are about regular cars and regular people, I can't help but leave with a desire to become a much more well read man.
The Comically large censorship on this the speedometer was hilarious
Scott Babcock tee hee
Doesn't get much better than that narrative Roman. You have some talent sir :)
I was going to do a review of mine, but I don't think I need to bother now - you covered all the important points :)
This show is so much better than the American Top Gear. Just enough nuances in opinion to capture that U.K. Top Gear feel while keeping the originality strong. One of the best car shows currently happening in Top Gears current absence. IMO The Best

you get a mini fridge for the trunk that is awesome
This had more theory and explanation of car culture than any other video, totally loved it. Plus I know exactly where u guys shot this video, very close to where I live. Now I know who has that R8, seen it on a few occasions.
Damn I didn't know you could get this car in manual. That makes it even more badass.
I saw a guy who was in his 20's driving one of these on the weekend. Was probably his too (not mommy or daddys) since there's alot of money to be made in Alberta if you are willing to work hard. I know there's a welder here that bought one in cash. There's also a young guy around here with a porsche GT3.
? What? it's an Audi.
Yes it is...
Audi recently announced that they have discontinued the manual transmission for the r8 :(
crephotos sure, you can weld and get an r8. then in >15 years when your lungs are ravaged from the weld fumes you can sell it and buy a toyota tercel
Tad Ghostal I don't think the guys here making $250k/year welding care about that. There is more money than brains in this province. I know some old welders who are healthy but met one guy who was a structural welder that developed dementia at 54 who can't enjoy the money he has earned now (can't work anymore either).
That monologue was truly beautiful!
So what the throttle is mounted to the floor. It's the same way in my mother's car and she drives a Kia.
It's mostly a high end car thing
John Petito is a 2014 Kia Sorento a high-end car. Most people say price makes something high-end and she only paid $26,000 for it.
+No One I think we have fundamentally different ideas of what high end is
I said most people. Not me
But I wouldn't call her car high end.
I got attached to all your awesome phylosphical/kind of dirty/out of the box reviews, so damn good man, so damn good.
Oh, I remember these!
Embarrassed them a lot back in the day on my '97 Yamaha XJR 1200R.
I have only seen this car a few times in person. It is beautiful and always eyecatching.
Is that Ferdinand Porsche's sexvigintillion mile Volkswagen?
No, it is his Tiger P
elryanoo does the walrus speak on thursday?
I worked for herb chambers BMW in Boston around this time. Herb had one of these as his daily. He'd show up, park on Comm ave, have a valet take the parking ticket that he'd always get because you can't park there on comm ave and the dealer would pay it.
when you tried to say red and big... "because bred" i loled
Roman, that was the single most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
Someone needs to give him a Mclaren P1 to review
I saw an R8 at a gas station and could not resist recreating some Wayne's World esque bowing with my friends.
I thought driving a Mercedes 500Sel Diplomat series (yes like the one princess diana had with the double pane glas windows and tiny flagpoles on the trunk) was amazing but the sheer privelage of driving an R8 is a dream to me
This is the first time watching one of your vids and I have to say, you guys are everything I want in a car review. Well done! Cheers.
