Ya, I also don't run a plate on my S4, haven't since I bought it in 06. Only been pulled over once, got a warning. Come to think of it, I don't even have a plate on the front of my truck, never been pulled over for it.

This is where I work:

and I have been ticketed here for no front plate in the past. It's a "fix-it" ticket, so not a big deal, just an annoying waste of time.

Jut wanted to share some of my initial experiences with this car. First, I am getting a lot more attention on the road now! Including some "thumbs-up" passes on the highway. You all are probably used to this stuff, but I'm really getting a kick out of. I'm finding there are two types of people out there: "that's a pretty red car" people and "holy shit, that's an RS6!" people.

I also stopped by a local speed shop to pick up some rotors, and the guy came out and took pictures of my car. They had a Gallardo and an R8 out front, so it felt pretty good that the RS6 was getting the attention.

Finally, I did a "Ferrari driving experience" last Friday where they let you take an F430 out on an autocross course for some laps. It was a kick to drive the Ferrari, but they also let me take the RS6 out, and I was really impressed with how it did! The RS6 is obviously not designed for autocross, but it certainly held it's own and in some ways was more fun than the Ferrari. Mainly because I was not as scared to fling it around! I was impressed with the brakes, and the way the car would rocket out of corners once I got the courage to floor it just after the apex. The car still wanted to plow a bit if I didn't manage the corner right, but AWD+turbo really makes for some good fun!

Anyway, bottom line is I'm loving this car more everyday!
