What's the point of cutting people off? To prove that they can enter into a lane as fast and as close to the car behind you as possible?
Too many A-holes driving on the road these days. The drivers who text behind the wheel are the worst.

As tough as it is to look at this thread, it is an important reminder of how we must be responsible with such a quick car.

I looked through every page before buying my s two weeks ago.

I’ll check back here every so often as to maintain my respect what the car can and can’t do.

And this is why I love having a Silverado with all season rubber on it for rainy days, now I just have to make sure I keep good rubber on the S.

Yes, it shows that good tires are a MUST! Don't let them get bare.

I think that the jerks that weave in and out of traffic are at least as bad. They don't seem to care that their dangerous behavior is risking the lives of others on the roads.

The A4 driver mentioned above is far worse than some addle minded texter. He IS paying attention and still doesn't care if he kills you.

That blows Hopefully it isn't totaled...but looks like you've got some major suspension damage and possible frame damage there. Glad you're okay though

Cars can be replaced, but people can't. Glad to see that you are okay. I really hate it when people hit and run...
