    So......I've noticed something......

    This is mostly for all the "bright" colored S4's. ::Imola Yellow, Laser Red, Nogaro Blue, Casablanca White:: Is it just me....or is it damn near impossible to "blend" in while parked on the street? I daily drive my car and Love every second of it, but.... every time I park it on the street I'm just a bit worried, because its soo out of the ordinary. Obviously I did not think of this prior to purchasing this car but on some level I regret it..... with that being said I love every bit of attention I get while driving it. So who else here has realized their "mistake".

    Ps. The only reason it bothers me, I live in NY and my last car was keyed so....I look at the paint as a double edged sword.


    Pss. Its 4:30am and I've been up for.....22+ hours so excuse my remedial grammar.

    Yeah I know what you mean not to mention anyone that doesn't happend to like you will easily be able to find your car, if your town in small enough. I think the biggest worry is if your speeding and just so happen to get off at the next exit ramp it wouldn't be very hard to find a bright yellow audi driving around. but then again the head turn's make it worth it.

    I've got a Nogaro, and I'm amazed at how many people look at the car while simply driving by. Its so damn conservative on the outside, but the color is what really grabs their attention.

    Hooray for rubber-necking!

    Re: So......I've noticed something......

    I'm looking to buy an s4 by december (trading in the a6)! Anyway I really don't want silver or black, but sometimes I think negaro/imola/laser, would be just a little too flashy! Do any of you guys ever slump behind the wheel from all the attention you get?

    Re: So......I've noticed something......

    I love my Nogaro, and cmon who doesnt like attention?!! thats the first reason why we get this color cars anyway..
    every time i go to start my car i make a full walk around the car to check for new scratches, so far i have been lucky (i just knocked on wood). i live in nyc too so we gota deal with it.

    Re: So......I've noticed something......

    I never fully regret it....untill I park it on the street. Nowadays kids have no respect for anything, I know that because I'm not to far from being one.

    Re: So......I've noticed something......

    I fell like if I was able to get a negaro I would love every minute of it... I really like the Santorin Blue, but they are hard to find. If all goes well financially I should have an s4 in the stable and I really hope its a nice bright negaro... (with tinted windows) :)
