Knowing that Romanian plates resemble many other EU plates, I am skeptical due to the size of the plate that is blanked out. The landscape resembles Cali too....
Romanian vehicle registration plates
That M5 is such a beauty.
That being said, Im surprised someone that young (assuming cause you said my parents bought it for me) would choose an M5. The car is just so big and family like (for those families that like to go fast).

Definitely Laguna Seca
Heaven on earth...except for the neighbors.Giving the benefit of the doubt, maybe viorelgn hasn't taken delivery of his/her actual car yet and decided to post photos from the North American launch event. Or maybe it's a lie and the post belongs in the dream car thread...
You work for Autoblog???

Pretty sure that it was proven above that the car you posted is in fact, not your car, that your parents gave you.
Hahaha I absolutely love that he just ignored everyone that said it wasn't his car.

Im assuming Scuba Blue?
Regardless, congrats. Color is amazing.
Carousel Audi?
How do you like it? I've been strongly considering a '14 Premium+ with the 8 speed and quattro in the springtime; Audi did a lot of option repackaging and most of what used to be options are now included in the base price, making it much more affordable as a new car than just a year ago.
My only gripe is that the design is pretty old at this point and starting to look dated, and there's a new A4 on the way in another year or so.

That's whats boring about new cars, the design looks dated too soon, while classics always look excellent.
The other issue is that new cars look exactly the same for too many years, say a given body style runs maybe 7-8 years, it'll get one mid cycle refresh and for the most part, that's usually it. Contrast to the 1960s when a '65 Chevelle, '66 Chevelle, and '67 Chevelle or any successive year of any car within the same body style look distinctly different making them easily identifiable and more exciting.
I really like the new A4 and in putting together a spreadsheet comparing all the cars I'm looking at, the A4 seems to have a lot of value compared to others, but yet, I look at that interior and see mid-2000s ergonomics and design. Then I look at the upcoming A3 and it's awesome contemporary interior/exterior design, realize the B9 A4 will look similar, and get sad about the B8 A4.
That and I don't know what happened, but the early B8 A4s like what the guy posted above looked awesome in S-line trim, now the current ones in S-line trim look way, way softer. Not sure why the current S-line cars look so dowdy compared to the pre-facelift S-line cars.

I will say, owning an Audi is a terrible experience if you enjoy driving, especially if you want it to be maintained properly.
Ha, I specifically bought the older model since I like the looks better than the new one. I just can't get on board with the more angular design, but that's just personal preference.
Carousel (Audi Minneapolis now) was great, the sales staff was very helpful, I bought the car sight unseen over the phone and couldn't be happier -- mechanically it's perfect and there is seriously not a scratch on the car.
The car itself is great, super smooth and fun to drive, the V6 has a great sound and is quick enough for driving around town. They don't offer the 6-cylinder anymore, but the 2.0T is still a very nice engine, although I really didn't want to deal with a turbo which is why I looked so hard for a 3.2.
Only downside is that I hate the damn nav system, and the 'spoken' commands thing blows so save your money and skip those options.
Couldn't say, never driven one. Had both an E30 325iS which was ok, and an E36 325i sedan which was hands down the biggest piece of mechanical trash I've ever owned and I haven't looked at BMW in 10 years since.
The 228i Msport is on my radar, but the pricing is asinine; a scantily optioned 228i Msport is close to $40k.
