Haha of course, Dubai

Haven't seen one yet, I'll bet it's one of those cars that look a lot better in person than in pictures.

I saw one in North Jersey pulling out of a business complex. This was months ago and I remember thinking to myself "are those even out yet". It was truly an amazing car. This was Ramsey/upper saddle river NJ. I have seen the same car a few more times since.

Saw one during the demo they had in my city, it was causing attention all over the streets near the dealership. Then I saw the one on the internets where it was totaled.

There was one here last week in Bowling Green, OH believe it or not, haha. He was doing donuts in a university parking lot here and I told my friend to hurry up and get in the car. Car definitely looks very nice but the guy didn't show me much other than blowing by me on the highway at about 140mph from way behind when I was only going 65mph. Wasn't that impressed because that is all he did, when we were side by side on a normal two lane road he wouldn't do anything. It was exciting to see this car that I hadn't seen before, but I'm pretty confident I would have upset the $120,000 vehicle. I'm pretty sure he was thinking "what is that piece of sh*t next to me", because he probably hadn't a clue what it was. Doing a couple of quick pulls next to him though, I think he got a little scared. I must say though, the car looks awesome and the headlights are the sh*t. I must commend Audi on that car, it looks really nice.
