2008 Audi R8: You Write the Caption

audi-r8-camera.jpg

It may have left our garage but it will never escape our hearts. A bit melodramatic, I admit. Good thing this is online so you don't see the tear-stained pages of my notebook.

As we say a final goodbye to our beloved Audi R8, I thought I'd take the opportunity to use it in one more caption contest.

I suggest "Quit looking at me."

What is your caption? We'll post our favorite at 4PM.

You can also read the wrap-up of the Audi R8 here.

Here's looking at you, kid. (Sigh)

Hey Sport, shouldn't those be mounted on back? Who exactly is going to drive faster than me??

Laser and missile deployment systems are tuned at the 20k mile service.

2 eyes, very good. Now just add electric steering and brakes and I won't need humans anymore.
