MUST WATCH: Shop Employee Borrows R8 to Surprise Blind Child at Car Meet
In time for some holiday magic, one employee of Only Motorsports takes his boss’s Audi R8 to bring joy to a blind child’s heart.
Do you remember the first time you heard an Audi? Whether it was the turbocharged inline-five of the Ur-Quattro or the rumble of the R8 V10, Ingolstadt knows how to turn on the passion for the four rings of steel for fans of all ages.
And it’s especially magic when a child experiences Audi for the first time. Zach, one of the employees running Only Motorsports’ YouTube channel recently brought that magic to a special car meet put together to give a blind child an experience he’ll never forget.
“It’s Christmas Eve,” he said. “I was at the shop working. I just found out that there is a car meet over at a dealership somewhere. It’s for this kid for Christmas – I think he’s nine or 10 or something – he’s completely blind […] They’re doing a car meet because he loves cars.”
To make things special for the kid, the employee drove his truck to his boss’s house to “borrow” the Audi R8 parked inside. And not just any R8, but an R8 V10. After all, if five cylinders are good, 10 are better.
The gathering at Ford of Murfreesboro in Murfreesboro, Tennessee is filled with all sorts of sensory goodness, mostly of the American V8 variety. Zach’s “gift” to Christian, though, is filled with plenty of Teutonic magic to stamp the four rings of steel upon his heart.
“I’ve never seen an Audi in my life!” said Christian. “That’s loud! Why’s it so loud?”
Christian also noted how the chimes sounded exactly like those on his mom’s Volkswagen. Witnessing the sheer joy from his spirit pop from his time behind the wheel of the R8, though, is exactly why all of us became Audi fans. Being able to share such magic and wonder with a child like Christian is its own reward. In fact, it’s better to just watch the video below than for us to try to put his joy into words. Nothing like witnessing the birth of a new Audi fan.
