I feel like y’all need some members only jackets to wear around town.

Westwest is in the 3.0t club already. He’s the club secretary.
Don’t laugh. I owned a grey one not unlike this:

My wife borrowed the RS4 yesterday. I had just finished a quick exterior detail, and was blocking the driveway, so it was convenient.
She gets back and says, “I really like the sound of your car. It has a nice growl.”
I’m thinking how sexy she is when she talks about cars! I’m right about to explain how I recently disconnected the muffler valves… but this was just the set-up for a KNIFE TO THE HEART:
“It sounds much better than your Subaru.”
that’s a knife to the heart?
More like a splash of cold water/wake up call if you didn’t realise it lol. There is no comparison.
The RS4 is actually the first car she has EVER complimented the exhaust sound.
And it is hilarious how she slipped in the “insult the Subaru” comment. She knows that car is like family member to me. And I’ll need it if I decide to send my RS4 out to Lathrop…
she probably hates the Subaru because of the time.attention you give it/gave it.
Plus it’s hateable…old, rickety, ugly, loud. No wonder she had a kick at it!
The things that are great about the subaru being insane performance, epic AWD, etc are lost on most ladies. They just see a lout.
Definitely NOT the time/attention. After 20 years of marriage, she encourages me to go out to the garage whenever possible.
Definitely IS the “lout.” It was marginally unacceptable when I got it, and is embarrassingly intolerable in its current state. Almost as bad as a B5 S4.
Back on RS4 allure commentary.
I gave an executive VP a ride last week. He commented that the car looks new (amazed when I said it is an '08), had a great sound, and he could feel the power (even though I probably never went past 25% TPS).
There is something about the RS4 that feels… “coiled.” Like a snake, or a compressed spring. Something very muscular under its svelte sheet metal.
Awesome quote…

It’s that amazing engine whine that you hear at low rpm’s. It just encourages you to stomp on the go pedal. 8)
