Overheard in AIM: Neff brings the perspective
Nunez's ride this week...
We Autobloggers chat on AIM all the time. Imagine a text-only version of the podcast, only 100 times more scatterbrained (who knew this was even possible?) and you'll get the general idea. So anyway, here's an exchange between The Neff and myself from earlier this afternoon, in which he hits me with a solid uppercut using his Brass Knuckles of Perspective. I think they may have bits of dead Alero cast into them.
Neff: Chris Grant from Joystiq got Sony to send us a review copy of GT5 Prologue
Neff: Arriving Tuesday
Nunez: You are such a d**k
Neff: Okay Mr. RS4
Nunez: HAHAHAHA
Neff: At least the car in your driveway right now is real
Nunez: I want to drive a PRETEND RS4, too!
Let the online play begin. What Neff doesn't tell you is that he -- at this very moment -- is writing up something that makes the (undeniably, ridiculously badass) RS4 press car parked out in my driveway seem like a Kia Optima. But you'll have to wait until Monday to read about that. Oh, and as it happens, I can't drive a pretend RS4 in GT5 Prologue when it arrives this week, anyway. I'll have to make do with the real thing.

I love the RS4 and enjoyed a long test drive this past summer. Here is to owning one in the future!
My guess is a revised Lambo Gallardo as the mystery car... seeing as how Lambo and Audi have the same parent company maybe they shipped you guys two rides at the same time.

hmmm, maybe a certain celebrity by the name of ZR-1?
hey Nuñez, do you have a bio anywhere? I piece from reading the bajillion blogs you started that you're from S. FL (like I am). what's your story? Are you Cuban-American?

No bio, Eddy. There's been occasional talk of adding them here, but nothing so far. I am not from South Florida, but I am familiar with the area. Born/raised NYC, moved to CT during high school (still there now), then headed to U of Miami for college, Class of '94. (Go Canes!) My dad's from Chile, and my Spanish pretty much sucks, actually.

OH MAN!!! I'M UM CLASS OF 06!!! GOOOOOO CANES!!! fellow alum! thats what i like to hear!
I like Chileans. good people. i've had the pleasure of befriending many.
i'm off at medschool so i'm very far from home :-( but it makes me glad to know that when i read your posts i'm reading something written by a fellow Cane. No wonder you have excellent grammar ;-). Thanks for the background info.

The Canes are a bunch of Hooligans, GO NOLES!!

lol i wouldnt expect any other comment from you... but i have a comment for you too:
WIDE LEFT
Alex Nunez 2:20PM (4/14/2008)
Let's not forget Wide Right I and Wide Right II (I was there)... the misses that really started the whole "Wide" tradition at FSU.
Bobby Bowden on the sidelines = Weekend at Bernies
Seminole 6:07PM (4/14/2008)
Yeah, yeah, yeah... ;-) Lets not forget my first FSU football game ever. My freshman year in 2005 at a packed Doak Campbell with over 84,000 people I watched the Canes botch a 28 yard field goal.
What I don't get how in his last game as our kicker Gary Cismesia kicked a 60 yard field goal. Yet he missed all those kicks against Penn State in the Orange Bowl a few years ago.
Speaking of Bobby, he needs retire. He's gotten so senile he doesn't even realize he's on the sidelines at half the games.
But no matter what, I'll always hate the Gators more then the Canes.
Eddy Alvarez 6:19PM (4/14/2008)
lol i'm glad we can all agree on the Gator thing.
...but yeah, Bowden = Bernie lol. thats pretty funny

My best guest would be that Caddy that zigs?
The new CTS-V perhaps?

There's a new Catera?
taipeileviathan 6:55PM (4/12/2008)
... or perhaps it could be a track toy like an ariel atom, the x-bow, or a caterham? nothing in the caddy line-up i think could possibly make the RS4 seem anything less than, say, a well-tuned S4, except that sick concept from a few years back.

Gotta love autoblog's employee's interactions. If autoblog were a "real corporation" they would all get fired for having to much fun.

Hey, can someone tell me how I can get in contact with John Neff. Or at least tell him to email me. I used to work with him back at Speed Style Sound in Troy Michigan.

Talisman, I forwarded him your email.
