Blake bruh came a long way started watching vids of you talk about snap backs to buy the Audi.Smoove bruh

[@TBlake]

thanks man its been a fun journey

[@GlennsCarCollection]

Congrats on the car. A 2011 R8 was my dream too. I finally bought a 2011 V10 Manual transmission R8 last year. More than I wanted to spend but they won’t be making manual V10’s ever again. If you want an auto R8, get a 2014 or newer. In 2014 they switched from the single clutch R-tronic to the dual clutch S-tronic

[@TBlake]

yep! Gated I expect to hold their value for quite some time.

[@svmoh]

​@@TBlake The one with the S-Tronic aswell?

[@TBlake]

@@svmoh any gated manual R8 including V8

[@kolteennj5672]

It’s mr Tyler stark !

[@TBlake]

hahaha one day

[@Hammyankee]

I love how everyone in their upper 20’s lower 30’s fell in love with the R8 when they first came out. I still remember where and when I first saw one in real life back in 2009. If you have any guidance or connects with finding deal on these please share. Have been looking for one for a while now.

[@TBlake]

I buy often from Jeff at Florida Performance Cars

[@Hammyankee]

@@TBlake thanks

[@AirMacNair24Kicks]

From that A4 to an R8 inspirational af

[@TBlake]

coincidentally the A4 was from 2011 as well haha

[@yield_curve]

Good to see another vid brother. Keep it up!

[@TBlake]

thanks man

[@mikethomsonking2838]

I can teach you step by step how to

[@popcorn2727]

Love the video as always bro keep it up, I know this is kinda early but what other cars catch your eye next?

[@TBlake]

for audi would like to go back to TTRS

As a fan since your karmaloop haul days, UPLOAD MORE

[@TBlake]

just got my channel back :)

[@tomh3120]

I have a 2011 v10 coupe rtronic I bought in 2020 for 65k . Best car I’ve ever bought for the money

[@Redbauer]

informative, thx mate. im going to try one this saturday - gated

[@TBlake]

nice! expecting gated to continue to hold value. Experience shouldn't be too different mechanically though. Glad to hear this was helpful! I recommend checking to see if yours has had carbon cleaning or not

[@evanchan1069]

Thought about getting a Gen1 R8, ended up going with a C7 Z06 instead. The interior seemed a bit dated and the V8 is down on power in the modern era, but at least you won't eat the depreciation like me. Plus, its classier.

[@TBlake]

definitely not a car I would recommend if you don't have a good grasp on where its coming from/history. The older Gen 1s people do all sorts of things to or service out of audi

[@evanchan1069]

I’m 20 so this was a dream car for me growing up. Still an awesome car, just seems down on power in the modern era. V10 was bit out of my range or i would’ve done that. The 2014-15 facelift is also nice but carries a premium.

[@cedriclacy8233]

Inspirational 🔥

[@kieronhickey7968]

Awesome video as always! More please 🙏🏽

[@TBlake]

[@luccasorrentino7001]

Hey man loved the vid. What state/area are you living in?

[@TBlake]

new england

[@legalgene3768]

Get an rs3 and go stage 2 you’ll have so much fun 🙂

[@ihatecops.]

lol stage 2

[@TBlake]

I had a TTRS which shares the same engine and really enjoyed that car. The truck makes most sense for me right now though

[@Miscel]

Love the car in 17 again

[@k3ntastik]

I see you as a McLaren man in the coming years

[@Sinaloa_Cartel]

Ty I’m about to buy a 2011 r8. Any input? I’m in Miami. They are going for about 100k here.

[@TBlake]

is it V10 or V8? Spyder? Manual or automatic?

[@Sinaloa_Cartel]

@@TBlake v10 spider convertible. 5.2. Clean looking. 20k miles.

[@TBlake]

@@Sinaloa_Cartel thats a pretty good price assuming work history is solid

[@Sinaloa_Cartel]

@@TBlake ty! Good to know. I did check carfax and all looks in order. Super clean. Just finished in shop with oil change and service check. Also had a purge valve replaced whatever that may be. Last question and I’ll try to quit bothering you 😂- do these hold their resale value well? In essence if I have it few years and go to sell I won’t be taking too much of a bath so to speak. Ty again. Appreciate the insight.

[@Trillzzy3]

Dope , how do you feel about Porsches? @Tblake

[@TBlake]

Most of the GT2 + models hold their value really well long term

[@SgtJef]

@@TBlake I sell Porsches for a living, anything with a manual trans or a GT car is a solid investment.

[@TBlake]

@@SgtJef yeah manual trans been insane
