Happy Friday the 13th.
Scott didn't believe me when I told him there was a version of the movie where Jason ends up in outer space. But I swear there was and it was called Jason X. Pure genius.
Anyway, I thought this photo of the R8 was sufficiently ominous to celebrate this day.
While we skip out to see the remake, give us your witty caption.
Check back at 4:00 PM for our favorite.

Also for some reason this picture makes me think of that movie The Never Ending Story.

The wonderful thing about Audi's,
is that Audi's are wonderful things!
The toy ones are made of rubber,
the real ones electrify things!
Racing, roaring, burning, sliding,
fun fun fun fun fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Audi's
is that they have the coolest one!
They HAAAAAVE, the coolest one!
