not really. i think the newer crowd is kinda snobby. i'll give am a wave or try and chat with..
them as i stand there in my audi hat. they just don't really act like "car guys". instead they act like your some wierdo for being "into" audi's and cars.

Most new owners are converted ricers or Women talking on their cell phones.....
Once in a while, a guys with modded S4's will "recognize", and believe it or not WRX guys think my car is an "urq"!

Newer audi drivers? They have no clue..

It's the 'other people' that seem to notice.
-The older guy at the gas station cash ran out to see the urq when I was getting gas. He said he sees me all the time, but was usually too busy to come see it.
-The young guy on the motorcycle that paces the urq for a bit in city traffic. Shouts out (through his fullface helmet "That's a CLASSIC!", and gives the thumbs up.
-The kid that's getting gas at the gas station that asks me if it's a 'quattro'. When I say yes, he says "I though so! It's in (some rally game that he had)"
-Once in a while, I get the feeling that some Subaru drivers know what the urq is..
Not much reaction when driving the urq to the Audi dealer for bits either. I once asked there about shop work.. Reply was sort of like "We don't have the rates handy for working on that car. We'd have to look them up"..
(Which I think translates to "go away" maybe?)
