Soooo yesterday I was ranting that my B5 RS 4 Avant should have won last week's Find of the Day episode but I totally forgot about this selection: a 1 of 8 2015 Audi R8 V10 Le Mans edition in Sepang Blue. George's choice won its round and the overall award...sorry Jacob. The ad for it is very bare bones but luckily we had our resident Audi Nerd, George, to fill in the blanks. It shows up at the 43 minute...

This last round of our Find of the Day: Throwdown Edition was a good one. We challenged Audi of America and they came loaded. Our guests were:
Jacob Brown, Audi PR. This week is his 1 year work anniversary with AoA but he's been in the automotive PR business for 9.
Rico Abramzon, Audi Area After Sales Manager. Rico is an old friend and he brought his A game especially with the ...

I knew as we were inviting the Episode 7 guests that it would be a very entertaining episode...I just didn't know that I would have a breakdown midway through it. New German Performance was our guest that week: John Martin, Dave Graf, and Mike Humphrey. New German Performance has two locations: Aberdeen, MD and Manassas Park, VA. They are a full service automotive repair center and online parts retailer, comprised of a group o...

Episode 6 was different. We've pitted chapters against chapters but this time, we went head to head with Team Volkswagen. Specifically Megan Closset (it's not pronounced like closet...think French), product manager of the Golf line and uber-enthusiast; Sean Maynard, marketing specialist at VWoA and builder of VWs I want, and finally returning guest, Jamie Orr, world traveller and also builder of VWs I want...there's a theme ru...

In Episode 4 of our weekly Find of the Day: Throwdown Edition, our 1st category was Beaters under $3,000. I figured we would get some hilarious Audi that really defined the word Beater but I was wrong. Will Barber, Audi e-commerce guru and all around good guy, pulled this almost-pristine Highland Green 2002 Audi allroad out of his hat.
As you can see, this ain't no beater. Here's the (very short a...

Episode 2 of Find of the Day: Throwdown Edition is done and once again, people played fast and light with the "rules". We did, however, have a structure that we adhered to: 1) Beater/Bargain: $5,000 or under 2) Daily: $50,000 cap and 3) Dream: no cap. Our ragtag band of guests included Ryan Compton, Audi Club Board member and hoarder of MK1 TTs; Tim Enders, former VWVortex/Fourtitude staff and Ducati rider who wants to motor a...

So Episode 1 of the Find of the Day: Throwdown Edition is in the bag and what a fun and learning experience it was. All of our guests brought their A game and as we had hoped, there was great discussion and banter amongst everyone but the questions remains...which Audi S2 should have been crowned as THE Find of the Day? Will Barber's 600hp S2 hillclimb race car or Jamie Orr's S2 Avant?
John Acton may actually buy the ur-S4 ...
