Did you make that vid, or do you mean that this vid reminds you of how your wife drives?
If it was you...nice road. Where's that at? And advice, out a small bright weighted item on the end of a short string, and dangle that from the mirror. Low tech g meter...gives the viewer a better idea of speed. I do it in my vette vids...it's always fun to see how close to sideways I can get it before the tires break.
No, not her. Nor her car (though she is currently talking with an Audi dealer in Georgia over a white one exactly like it as it is more sophisticated than her tricked out 4 rotor Mazda, though it wouldn't be as fast as the Mazda.) I came across this video reading about what she's thinking of getting. The one she is negotiating over is a NEW STOCK 2012 that's just been sitting on the showroom floor unsold in an Audi dealer is a small city. She saw it when we picked up a used '05 AMG/Renntech Mercedes CL65 there she got me for my birthday. The '05-06 CL65 is the fastest production Mercedes ever made, though doesn't look like it.
They told her "no, we don't let people test drive it" when she first asked, but then changed their mind when they saw she was with me and we were paying green cash for the CL65. But by then she had soured over it. Since, though, her and the dealer have been talking over the phone. She really likes how they look, they do have serious potential, but the are costs and availability of performance mods questions she still has.
She is hesitating because modification parts for those are rare and astronomically expensive - and to her it is not just the cost of the car but what it's potential is and what it takes to reach it. In stock form the R8 V10s don't have THAT impressive of performance stats, other than in handling. She looks at those kinds of numbers.
That is how she drives UNLESS a child is in the car with her, she is near where children are or in town. Some roads around here are more winding that in the video.
