I have a different perspective on our new troll.
I don't mind that he's young, doesn't own an RS6 or can't afford one. Disparaging comments along those lines are elitist in my opinion.
What really gets me spun up are the arguements he makes as to why an Audi is a superior car to (name your mark). Having owned a large variety of cars, I appreciate the differences between them. Our young troll hasn't recognized that every car out there has strengths and weaknesses.
The best car I've owned (in my opinion) was my 1990 Ford Taurus SHO which I kept for 12 years as my daily driver. I'm currently driving the RS6 (love it; had it for two years and am ready to sell it) and an e46 M3 (3.5 years with no sign of selling) which in my book is second out of respect only to the SHO.
I am currently living in the far north of the US and deal with sub zero temps, snow and ice on a daily basis. The RS with winter tires is very competent in these conditions, but I have no qualms about driving RWD with snow tires in these same conditions. And please don't flame me on this one, but I'll take a RWD BMW over an AWD Audi any day when it comes to going fast on the street or on the track. It's the chassis set up and not the number of powered wheels that determines how well a car performs in all but the very worst conditions.
Don't get me wrong, I love Audi. Even if the RS6 goes bye bye soon, I'm looking forward to my A8 or S8. Won't even consider a BMW or M/B in that class. The reason an RS4 isn't on my list is that I know it can't compete (performance wise) with the 4 yr old M3 in my garage. This is first hand knowledge, not car mag drivel.
I will now get off my soapbox. Thanks for reading this far.
Cheers,
Joe
