A couple of years ago, I had the thrill of driving an Audi S5 on the autobahn. Today I got behind the wheel of an Audi R8 with a 525 horsepower V10 engine. Very frustrating to be corralled by city traffic and police, but had some moments of high acceleration and tight turns going along the FDR and through lower Manhattan. It was a delight to drive, even smoother than the S5, and it got a lot of attention.

For a reality check, we stopped by #occupywallstreet afterwards.
