I Bought My Dream Car! - 2009 Audi R8 4.2 6-Speed Gated Manual Review

Well, it's not a new race bike, but it sure is fun and is something I can enjoy without going to a racetrack! After years of fantasizing about the Audi R8 after seeing it in Iron Man as a teenager, I finally have one, and it's all that it's cracked up to be. In this video, I share my initial impressions of driving and owning a car I've lusted after for 14 years, and the significance this car holds in my life. Check it out!

Beautiful car man, congrats! I bought one of my dream cars, a pristine one owner S2000, some years ago. I still have it and drive it almost every day. Enjoy your new beauty!

[@hiimchad]

Thanks Corwin! The S2K is another amazing machine. I've had the pleasure of driving a couple that were owned by friends. Hope you're still enjoying it as much as you did when you first took ownership! 🙂

@@hiimchad Absolutely! She now has about 140k miles (2005) and runs fantastic. So much fun and that's the point 'eh? She is a nice "reward" for working hard and makes the commute to and from work enjoyable. Have a good one and appreciate the response. You seem like such a cool guy!

Maybe take that sweet ride on a few hot laps at Willow Springs??

[@hiimchad]

I don't know about Willow, but it's definitely going to Chuckwalla at some point!

[@josephhutchins3944]

Congrats! My (realistic) dream car is the gt350. Saw one at an autocross event and fell in love with it. After 2 motorcycle thefts, may have to switch to that until I can move to a house with a garage!

[@hiimchad]

Thanks Joseph! The GT350 is an awesome car. Another high revving engine that sounds amazing, and has my favorite kind of transmission 😁 Sorry to hear about your bikes! That may indeed be the move for the meantime.

[@Dr.L_AVEC]

Any plans to track the Audi? Sweet car grats!

[@hiimchad]

Thanks Jason! I'll definitely take it to the track, hopefully sooner than later. The new brakes need to be put to some good use, after all 🙂

[@outdoorkreations7051]

Great video hope your ok haven't seen a new video in a few weeks...

[@hiimchad]

Thanks! Took some unintentional time off with all the rain over here, and didn't make the most productive use of the few dry days we've had lately. I'll be back to posting regularly soon!

[@Wreckage72]

Congrats. Did not see this comin' , the r8 is also one of my favs. Hope it's a dream to drive.

[@amoshughes4081]

Like sideways from transformers! But it's white and nothing looks silver.

[@amoshughes4081]

And of course that tony stark from iron man, the avengers, and end game owned this car in the marvel films.

[@hiimchad]

It's had a decent amount of time on the silver screen, particularly in silver 🙂
