R8: 2 things I hate about my owner
1) Got me stuck in a ditch in the snow
2) Got me stuck in a ditch in the Desert
so the 3 things you hate about your audi R8
1. It's not a v10 plus
2. It's not a v10 plus
3. It's not a v10 plus
Got it.
th-cam.com/video/qO4jLVpDh-Y/w-d-xo.html just listen to this
Kinda right.
Why get the V10? It costs more on gas than the V8 R8.
@@TheTechCguy lol if you are concerned about gas prices you should not own either of these cars.
r8 4.2 v8 is also a good car, 5.2 v10 is only for flex. But for normal use, the v8 is better, more economical.
3 things I hate about your Audi
1. Rally light bar
2. Ski box
3. You drive it like a 4x4 when you have a jeep.
First of all light bar and ski box are MODS

Maksiu Nowak nope re watch
@@sobcrazy6399 ik they're mods.
OIII PEOPLE OFFROAD SUPERCARS BRO
Summarizing: 1) hates exhaust sound, 2) hates fact front has no lift, 3) hates r-tronic gearbox. Well, exhaust sound is purely subjective. I have a 2015 which I ordered new to get one of the last gen 1 cars - I personally like the exhaust. It's subdued when your puttering around but put your foot down and it sounds terrific. I've driven Porsche 911 series cars for 28 years and the R8 seems to have less scraping on the nose than the 996, 997, and 991's that I've had. I get into my driveway with no issues in the R8 whereas the P cars occasionally made contact with the ground. Lastly, the r-tronic is generally viewed by all R8 owners as the least desirable gearbox. No doubt it contributed to the low price you paid for your 2009.
dude , it's 3019 right now
Thx , you saved me time
1. Ski Box
2. Light Bar.
3. Stradman
Mr. Perfect then why are you here?

2018: 3 reasons not to buy an R8
2019: 97 reasons to buy an R8
if you’re gonna get one get the 2015 model it sounds the best imo
@@spiyder na, I like the new sound for the v10s
Plot twist, 2021 the cars now worth exactly what he paid for it, cause the pre owned market went full bonkers.
1.those fucking lights
2.skibox
3.driver
The lightbar and ski box is like wearing neon green head and wristbands with a tux.
Faksakes I literally took a moment to imagine that, then LOLed 😂
Faksakes ahahahahahahahahah
What’s it’s Doug score?

@@KaungPyaeSoneWinhereiam worse than I expected
Lets be honest you completely messed up the r8 by adding the skibox and lightbar
No... It's awsome
it looks so fucking terrible with the lightbar.
Bj Si I love all that stuff on a supercar, stands out even more and shows that the owner both enjoys and uses it
I know, old comment... the ski box doesn't look bad, especially when you take in to consideration that he takes the car on road trips, youtuber aka has camera equipment... plus his and passenger's stuff. The light bar... um it's so so definitely did it's purpose... got viewers triggered lol
Fam it’s already messed up
gets the low-spec r8 and complains about exhaust etc.
Yeah man
"Things I absolutely hate about my Audi R8"
That Roofbox and headlight bar
Bailey Pate he managed to rice a r8
Cuzyou Suck haha
You must not know what a ricer is than
/ ajthegreat75 \ if he didn't rice it then he pretty much just made it look shit
Bailey Pate, his "jeep" mods has him enjoying his R8 in way no one does. He's more car guy than you are lol
Evidently The Stradman has yet to use the dollar shave club razor blade
Find myself always looking for new Stradman vids, before anything else. Love the style, love the enthusiasm, love the people you hang out with. Keep it up...GREAT work buddy!
3.Weak exhaust
2.No front end lift
1.Shity gear box
Take the 12mins I saved you and watch half an episode of Seinfeld.
1. Bad gear box
2. No front end lift
3. Weak exhaust
Doing gods work!
Lol
Thx
whats front end lift mean?
lol you saying your audi sounds bad? now your 2020 supra sounds like a hair dryer
It sounds better than the R8 none the less
Things I hate about it: YOUR MODS.
God Dayum Ernest! Don't hold back, say what you mean and mean what you say!
Ernest Hemingway atleast he doesnt baby his car and keep it in a garage 24/7 never driving it.
the mods are take it or leave it. James is the type of person to do things that might seem odd, but because he does these things, us as true fans enjoy it.
it's so damn bad
Oh the ski box is horrendous as well. It should serve a utility purpose, but the Strad think's it's beautiful. You can tell he doesn't like the car by the ridiculous things he's doing to it.
I don’t shave I’m 11
Me too
Shave pubes
Greg Brady bro really lol
Your now 12
lol
i think it might be better in the snow with *Winter Tires*
Shivam Patel ikr
Or it's simply not THE car for snow.
No.1 it doesn't off road well
Ho
no 2. it’s a super car not an offroader
great intro my man!
Hope to see you and Damon and of course Dave !
You should’ve gotten the V10 if you wanted it to sound good
Then he’d actually have to spend real money instead of that joke of an R8
Good idea
Or just add turbos
It's not a joke.
@@gabydude Add supercharger.
James, when you upload,your videos give me a chance to take my mind off of my struggles. And I want to thank you for that.
Can I suggest a performance mod. VF SUPERCHARGER PLEASE
Hey James,
Love the video and the enthusiasm! Keep up the good work! My brother lives in Bend and I've filmed many of my videos there. I hope to visit a few more times this year. I make videos with my S8 and am working towards an R8....or Gallardo, haha! We'll see what comes first. Enjoy your time with the fam!
Bro, just heard Damon on his latest video say that VF Engineering has some software tune they can do to majorly help out with the shifting lag for these cars! You need to get that ASAP!!
So... Modifying it doesn't seem to be an issue, are there any plans for any further mods?
Mentioned not wanting/needing a supercharger, and the handling is great... Will there be any performance mods?
I’m not a huge fan of the r8, but it’s nice seeing you enjoying it :)
Saw an r8 and an Alfa Romeo 4c the other day and I felt like strad man in Geneva.
i really enjoy watching stradman's vlog more than any other vlogs. I really look forward to it like everyday. its such a bummer when he doesn't upload on some day. And, Kombi life.
i love how creative youve now become with the videos!! 😍❤️❤️❤️ i’m lovin it
You and Parker post a video at the exact same time !! Lmao I'm watching yours first ! Haha
+Jake Rocque Same LOL
SAME HAHA
i unsubbed parker long time ago.
That's because they share the same bed and woke up at the same time 👬
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LMAO like OMG!
The only thing I HATE is that you got it wayyy before I did!😩
Hello Stradman. Just a note of encouragement. I will repeat what I have stated numerous times..... it is YOU that makes these vlogs special. You can walk around a car 1000 times and it will be boring at some point; however, when the content is lead by personality and passion, the result is phenomenal. I do not lift you up as some kind of video god but rather as a pleasant and genuine product of the love and care your parents invested in you. Stay true to these basics! See you at 1 Million subs!
I was kind of nonchalant about the ski box but dude the way you pulled that table out , I love it now lol
That you always get stuck in the Desert
4:28 Audi did do a lot better... they made a V10 version
Hope you are feeling rested. Your vigor is much improved and I understand how your work load can take it's toll. ( maybe I'm off by a mile?) You have an infectious zest for living life THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE DRAWN TO... AS I've said before, the cars are secondary.... Love seeing your friends in the last vlog. Loyal friends are a gift.
All ways the best James kudos!
Hi Stradman great video. I did not realise the R8 is so quiet. I agree that must be the number 1 thing to dislike on the car. I’m loving the ski box you added wow! Good luck👍
Stradie you have the best car vlogs.
James I Just Had To Say, You Are The Greatest TH-camr.
amazing video, as expected. Keep it up Strad!
i dont understand why you would want the gear shifters static on the column. mid corner up or downshifting would be easier if the paddles were right where your fingers are. right?
Well, 00:14 seconds in and I'm already thinking "Really James, you just got the R9 stuck going off-road and yet your doing it again."
Mega Playzz R9?
+Brandon Gao u know what he meant, idiot.
David J. Titties, the 4th looks like someone just got pissed off
David J. Titties, the 4th IKR
-"I'll never take the R8 off road again"
*next video starts off with him taking the R8 off road.
How many times are you gonna rev that pos?! Install exhaust plz
Its so awsome to see that my subscription to stradman had come this far been here since the audi TT
3 things i love about the R8 the wrap the skybox and the front lights yes i love all the modifications on the R8 so far
Curb feelers are next. :)
Look like on forza horizon 4
I think your respect for that car is going to go way up once you get that exhaust on, and you're going to feel really good doing it yourself.
I'm pretty sure my NSX (vintage) has ~4-5" of clearance from the front lip and it doesn't scrape on any remotely sensible transition. 'Curious how often you've had an issue (not counting your off-tarmac shenanigans)?
So you can’t drive automatic or it’s faulty in your car
Or you can shift manually on manual mode it looks amazing but I hate that too fast shifting between gears ☹️
Whoa... for a moment there I thought I mis-clicked and ended up on the Vehicle Virgins channel.
New Exhaust for the R8?
Drive Dynasty IKR
The exhaust is sooo bad 😂😂😂
Seriously, I'm so excited for the new one
this sentence is fucked
I would like some help, my younger brother has asked me to help him with a speeding ticket he got. He just turned 17 and got a speeding ticket going 90 in a 65, he got the ticket while only having his permit to drive. He had insurance but failed to provide proof. We live in California, I figured maybe somebody could give me advice on where to start with this mess. What are our options??
How much does the ski box affect highway fuel mileage?
The r8 sounds amazing
U lier Its a vacuums
Totally not
Your Audi is from years ago.
Ravon Wynns no duh
Trying to compare new car prices to a high mileage used car makes no sense. That's what Ravons comment is about.
Depends on what you want to have. When two cars are the same price they are very comparable. New Tahoe value after 3 years = $40k. Strads R8 in 3 years = still ~55-60k. R8 repairs, probably a few K but not 30k like that Tahoe depreciates. Plus is you get a lot more smiles per gallon in the R8
Ravon Wynns who cares the cars stunning!!
Yeah and it was basically the same design until 2015. Stunning and timeless. Take a look at a 2007 Tahoe ha-ha-ha
Forgot to say, keep up the good work & vlogs James! They vary, change countries, diff. cars, diff. car shows, plus great information on all of the vehicles. 763 K = AWESOME!!!
Will you spend another 60k$ for the upkeep for the next 5 year, given you drive it and not a weekend car?
Come on my favourite car is a R8 😪
R8 reali needs that exhaust...
DIECAST HOBBY
He said the installation is next week
DIECAST HOBBY well yea the v8 NOT THE V10 plus , that one is the best sounding car
LOL the video got 22k likes hahaha
Mikal Brown
It has 4.3k
Your spelling needs some work
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOUR NORMAL VLOGS
Why does it burn so much oil?
RIP Drone
*OOF*
nowaydecent #roblox
Lol
Why only 74 reasons?
At the beginning of the video, I was like wow, he is getting really gutzy with that Mavic......then CRASH......The risk you run when trying to get those great shots. Sorry about the crash, hope drone was ok, but thanks for the great content and channel.
Love u bro❤️...I wait for ur vlogs so badly..And plz everyone give him thumbs up for all of his vlogs..I wish u to get 1mil subs soon..✌️😊

Things I hate about my Audi R8 *emotional*
He is good at modding jeeps but not at super cars
Ahsan Nadeem yeah these mods look amazing on jeep and off road cars
Thanks Stradman. That was really good stuff. I'll do my research on the R8 and see where I can get one from. Michael, North London, United KIngdom.
how do you drive.. and fly the drone at the same time?
I only have one reason not to buy one
1. I can't even afford it
It's 12:40 am here in India but anything for you Stradman.....
24k SuperVehicles yep
Abhishek Ingale so you're back 😂
24k SuperVehicles bhai so ja chal good night
Now it's 1.10
24k SuperVehicles same
Can I ask you a question?
What kind of offroad light do you put in the front of your R8?
Can I the same thing on my Subaru Impreza?
Really appreciate if you see and response me :)
I honestly wish you could post everyday James aka Stradman. It actually puts a smile when you post bro
It isn't really fair to say that the car is on par with a Tahoe.. or any other cars you highlighted. Keep in mind your car is almost 10 years old... it's also not a v10... it also was silver.... That's why it was 68k. The majority of people wouldn't pay 3/4 of 100k for a car that is almost a decade old. You can do as you please with your money, and that's fine, but for most people buying a car that old for that much money is a very foolish idea. Just saying.
Kyle B buying a car in general is a bad idea lol. Maintenance and all that
Fuking hater
KyleCBE People pay much, much more than 68k for cars that are older than 10 years.
0:16 HEADPHONES!!! 😵😵😵
The later R8 has addressed the problems mentioned hence the price. All cars depreciate. The new twin clutch is a dream.
Snow... I would not drive my Audi in the snow or sand. It is not a jeep. The R8 is a zoom zoom car for the tarmac.
Try the 2017 model with the interactive dash board. And that dreadful box on the back not to mention the rally lights on the front
dump them they look terrible more like a boy racer.
What did you mean with moments of silence?
I wanna get one too
skibox
lightbar
Strad, Of course SuperCars don't work well on off-roading.😑 Like if you agree.
Mostly are for drag racing regular racing and a streetcar
Definitely loving the lightbar and roofbox! Looks mean as hell !!!! Goals!!
What's the music I'm the intro? Please reply
the driver and the light bar should go in the ski box and then be buried in the desert.
Weak exhaust
1. The lightbar
2. The ski box
3. The matte wrap
Lol, JK. Another great video Stradman!
I love the ski box, the light bar and awesome color!
4:11 v10 sounds better
Cost more to fix as well as buy ...
@@tebibyte2357 true...
th-cam.com/video/-cRI5iubPm8/w-d-xo.html LOOK AT THIS AS WELL!
Yo I just realize the lightbar is the Audi symbol 
What's the problem for the r8 in the snow compare to the gallardo? I think that's really an interesting subject...
@thestradman I lost it when you grabbed the table and chair😂😂😂
Sell them both and get a Performante!!!!!!!!
RDTATX yuck too original
RDTATX Great Idea!
No. Sell them both and get a house and a girlfriend.
L Dupree lolol
he has a house
Not first
Hey Strad - did all your fillings fall out driving the R8 down past Bessie Butte? Not exactly the smoothest "road"
before I watch, I'm guessing the exhaust and acceleration are 2/3.
you know what?
I'm tired of all the haters. I'm gonna say it. i like the r8 with the ski box and light bar
Every one comment Remove the #lightbar and the #skeebox.....
Ahlam Crucial ski 🤦♂️
Lol
Its Ahlam skibox
I'm planning on getting a used R8 this year, what would you recommend for an aftermarket exhaust?
Armytrix
You da (Strad)man! Thanks for your experiences on the R8. Still want one. Even more.
