Yeah, but it's most likely a German car - not many RS4's in the US (they cost an arm and a leg to import over there), so I doubt they would do this to one - more likely to airbrush a picture of Bush on the bonnet [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]

That looks like the carpark at the Nurburgring to me.

looks more civilized then the "going up in flames" version at the top of this post
What were the echoes you got regarding this styling?

Echoes=Comments, reactions.

the metaphor from the echoes is:
You know if you shout into a narrow mountain valley, you'll get some accoustic repetitions of your shout from the sound bouncing back and forth between the rocks. Sounds an awkward concept when you write it/read it, but it's awesome in nature!
My question asked differently: what did folks at Cannonball say about your styling?
