Mom Rewards Tiger Cub Scouts With Ride in Audi R8
Jul 01 2009 by Sherrice Gilsbach
As the mom of a Tiger Cub Scout, I’ve camped, I’ve hiked and I’ve sewn on as many patches as there are scars on my fingertips. To help my son’s den celebrate a great year, this car-loving mommy wanted to do something fun for the boys. Thanks to Audi, nine boys enjoyed a horsepower-filled evening with the unforgettable Audi R8, and they earned a communications badge in the process.
Each Tiger Cub Scout had the opportunity to go for a ride around the school parking lot in the R8 before putting pencil to paper to answer a questionnaire on the car and earn that extra badge.
The questionnaire asked whether they’d be interested in designing cars like the R8 and if so, what they’d do to modify the car. Based on his answer, Mike, one of the Tiger Cubs, isn’t interested in an automotive design career; however, something in the military might be up his alley. He wrote that he’d add “an AK47 to the front and two Tombson sub machene guns at the frount.” Holy cow, you may want to steer clear of Mike’s souped-up R8.
Kevin, another den member, was one of two boys who wanted to add ”NiTrus Bost” — or nitrous boost — to the already super-quick R8. Jeez guys, how fast do you need to go? I guess when your fastest means of transport is a bicycle, your mind might wander toward more powerful options.
My all-time favorite comment was also from Kevin. When asked if he’d like to have this car, his response was, “Yes. Because it goes 20020!” Atta, boy! I don’t know of any car that goes that fast, but who knows what the future may hold for these budding racers.
All in all, the Tiger Scouts of our den thought this particular Audi was G-R8!
