Mine don't block the radio.  They just block the vents and the HVAC controls.  The shifter gets in the way of the radio a little, but if I really wanted I could fix it.  All of the bins and holders in the center console are DIN sized, to it makes moving things around really easy.

Mine suck like J86's. They block the radio, and just overall suck. I haven't used them in a long time, and I think they've inside for like a year or so.

Legacy love!

Red Bulls really don't phase me for some reason.  I like Rockstar more.  Sometimes it's tough not to have to be up until 5 or 6 a.m. to finish a project.

That's because Red Bull isn't that strong, and Rockstars are big drinks. (twice as many ounces at slightly more caffeine per ounce) http://www.energyfiend.com/the-caffeine-database/
Most people are under the impression Red Bull is heavy weight stuff, and it isn't. That new Mtn. Dew Game fuel is only 7mg short of red bull in caffeine, as opposed to Red Bull being 5mg per ounce weaker than a Boo-Koo. Of course, if you're desperate, Cocaine contains a ridiculous amount of caffeine per ounce, but that's not really very healthy.

yeah, but its a fuckin blast

I like Red Bull Sugar Free and Rockstar Sugar Free (or Zero Carb, the stuff in the blue can), but my favorite is Sobe Adrenaline Rush Sugar Free. 

If you haven't caught on, I don't drink sugared drinks.

Dude, 17mpg highway under new EPA standards.

At least I don't have to pay the $8000 gas guzzler tax.

Yick!  Red Bull is the only one I can stomach...and I dont think I even like it.  Its just kinda like crack for me...

Mango Rockstars FTW

I have never had one of the massive energy drink cans.  What are the little ones, 10 ounces?

Red Bull's 8.3.  I've had a 24oz Monster before.  It was terrible. 

Holy shit, Raza's right, that car is THIRSTY! 13mpg city

Half the mileage of an Escort, but over twice as pleasurable. It's worth it.

With premium gas.

Regular.

Better then.

Still, it's going to be lucky to get 4 mpg at BeaveRun.

I have no idea if it takes regular or premium, but MPG is irrelevant.

A 12oz can of Diet Pepsi Max has almost as much caffeine as energy drinks do for a lot cheaper.  It doesn't contain sugar either.

Congrats on the Audi btw

edit: Just clicked on that link and apparantly there's a 20oz drink called Fixx with 500mg of caffeine

There's also these pills you can take, called NO DOZ.
NO DOZ + WATER is cheaper than all those crazy energy drinks, and it tastes better, too.

No Doz plus Red Bull plus vodka is even better.

No Doz plus Red Bull plus vodka plus cocaine plus huffing brake cleaner is even better.

I had one of those caffeine pills before on my basic course. It kept me awake during the class times but when it wore off, I was crashing pretty badly

Premium vs. regular is even less relevant: the price difference typically amounts to less than 10%.

Not buying a car because it takes premium is exactly the same as not buying a car because it gets 27 MPG instead of 30 MPG.

Yet my mom still thinks it's stupid, and puts regular in the Audi.

Although my dad puts premium in the BMW.

The Audi is a turbo.  I would not buy that car after your mom's done with it. 

(I hear that, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, it doesn't hurt the car, blah, blah, blah)

People make all kinds of decisions based on bad information that they beleive to be absolutely, irrefutably true.

But, putting regular in the Audi probably won't hurt it.

It might hurt the car if you drove it regularly: but the fact that she doesn't care about its performance enough to spend an extra 20 cents a gallon on it means she probably drives it like there's block tied to the bottom of the gas pedal.
