    Saw another RS3 today

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Where I live has about 2m people and I would estimate that less than 15 have been sold here, so there is roughly a 1:150,000 chance of seeing another RS3. Yet, today I saw a brand new one (or 29 days old to be exact, based on the temporary plate) in the parking garage where I work. I feel a little less special now :(

    A lot of people think you want to race, when in reality, you just have to motor home because Chipotle.

    That's why i opted for the Panther Black as i didn't think there would be too many around, and it would be an easy colour to sell if i ever chose that route.

    I live in south east Michigan and know there are a few that have sold but haven't seen any on the street. My buddy saw a nardo ttrs. I am pretty sure there are no other nardo rs3s in my area though. The few that sold around here were black red and daytona. Feels pretty exclusive if im the only nardo rs3 around!

    Got a message from a fellow Michigan owner econman21 something. Can't message you back for some reason though man. Saying you don't have permission to receive messages or something. Probably have to make your first post. Yes I'm in the detroit area! Should link up sometime.

    I live in Chicago. I took delivery of my '18 RS3 four weeks ago, and it took me the whole 4 weeks to get a city sticker, because (per the City clerk) they didn't have the RS3 in their system yet and had to enter it. Is it possible I have the first RS3 (or '18 RS3) registered in the city of Chicago?? I haven't seen another one in the city, but I am aware of one in the western suburbs...

    I am in NJ and was on a business trip to Plano, Tx last week. Just when I was telling a colleague of mine of my new RS3 purchase, comes a RS3 of the same color(daytona gray) in front of us. All I had to say was 'look there it is. that's the exact same car I bought'.

    The one I saw was at the intersection of SRT and DNT in Plano.

    I actually bought my 2018 RS3 at the end of December, white with black optics. So I may be the first haha. Although I didn't drive it until after Easter.

    Just went over $1k miles, it's my daily driver and I love it. I am coming from a tuned BMW M235xi. I loved that car too, but this is much better fit/finish and another level even in stock form in terms of performance. We'll see if I tune or not, I've done that to my last 3 cars, and was feeling I'd avoid that here, but history isn't on my side.

    There is a Nardo one I see frequently here. A younger heavyset lady who doesn't seem like the type to own such a car. It's is always filthy as well- as if she parks in front of her run-down mobile home off a dirt road at night.

    It's a shame, tbh. I almost feel obligated to offer a free wash. I'll snap a pic next time I see it!
