Doug DeMuro - Carspotter!
Carspotter Doug DeMuro - Audi R8, Ferrari F430 Spyder, Ferrari Enzo - Automobile Magazine
Doug DeMuro finds and photographs exotic cars in their native habitat - on the road, at speed.

The Audi R8 is a sitting duck, and Doug DeMuro bags it without pausing as he trolls through suburban Atlanta in search of exotic cars, turning on and aiming his Canon point-and-shoot with one fluid motion and nonchalantly banging off a perfectly framed image through his open window.

2009 Audi Q5 3.2
2009 Audi Q5 3.2 - Audi Luxury Crossover Review - Automobile Magazine
Although the compact crossover segment is a curious one, the new 2009 Audi Q5 is about as good as it gets.

Shame on me for not playing with the fancy new Audi drive-select system while I had possession of the Q5. Joe DeMatio mentioned the system's ability to improve steering feel in his review of the Audi Q5 last summer, and the steering weight and feel were among my biggest disappointments in this Q5. I found the steering to require more effort than I'd expect from a crossover in this class. Perhaps a few adjustments through the drive-select system would have changed my mind.
