That’s absurd. I don’t care what they are, and this is coming from someone who spent $4k+ on wheels for an R32.

I was going to see if I could interest you in any of fifteen52’s line up. I can usually do some pretty great pricing for locals.

Congrats on the pickup either way!

317 (get it?)  
They made me cover my Guinness windshield decal and wouldn’t let me throw all of the goodies I bought. ☹  
It was super fun though, people yelling, “NICE RS7”! And “Do a burnout”! Ha!

In a lab yes…

People test E85 alcohol to gasoline content with simple testers
