My dream Car - Audi R8 | Sisocheata Virac: Failure is nothing but a way to success...

The original Audi R8 was one of the best bargains in the automotive world. It provided serious performance without the insanely high supercar price. Well, like most things, the R8 has gotten pricier over time and the newest version, the R8 GT, is right in line with Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Aston Martin.

Only 333 will be made, so if you want one and have the money for one, call Audi soon because they might be gone. Only a third of that total number will be coming to the United States and each will cost $198,000.

The R8 GT is a lighter and faster version of the normal R8. Audi has managed to put the car on a diet allowing it to lose around 220 pounds. Weight loss was key, but so was bulking up, so Audi added 35 more horses, or the same power as a Chevrolet Aveo. The 5.2-liter V10 now puts out 560 horsepower and will be connected to a single-clutch R-Tronic semi-automatic transmission. We’re sure that gearbox is all well and good, but a manual option would have been nice.

R8 4.2 feature highlights:

* 19" wheels with performance tires
* Audi xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running lights
* Leather/Alcantara® sport seats
* Audi concert system with single CD player with MP3 playback capability, AM/FM radio, auxiliary input jack and speed-dependent volume control
* HomeLink® and Bluetooth®

R8 5.2 feature highlights:

* 19" wheels with performance tires
* Audi parking system plus with rearview camera
* MMI® Navigation plus with real time traffic
* Full LED Headlights

Who was I - Who I am...

I, Socheata, came from a poor family and I have been brought up by my beloved parents and grandma. My parents got married since my mum was 19; while, my dad was 21 years old and she gave birth to me just one year after they got married. With their empty hands, they have been trying real hard to build up new family with a better condition. My dad has to work far away from home and came to see us as much as he could. My grandma has to take a really big responsibility in taking care of me; while, my mum also has to work at two places simultaneously, just because she wanted to earn a lot of money to feed me and to send me to good school and to spent on other needs.

I was too young at that time, I've been sent to school since i was just three years old girl and I never knew how hard they tried and how many difficulties they had faced with in life; but until I came to the age of 10, I started to realize that my parents and grandma is the best person in my life, ever. They brought me up with a very warmth parental love, full of caress, and they always watch out for me just to make sure that I am doing great. I always feel safe to have them by my side. My parents never forced me to do anything either housework or other difficult things but study; though, we are poor. All they asked me to do is to try study hard, so most of my time was in class and rarely had time to hang around with friends, because they just afraid and worried that something bad would happen to me; unless, I had their company.

For the last eight years, I was a freshman majoring in English Literature and that was the time that I think I am mature enough to understand things and at least I can figure out what is right and what is wrong. Being grown up as the first child in my family, I have committed to myself that I have to try all my hardest to make my parents proud of me, and to build up a prosperous family where my parents and grandma and my sisters can lives in a very good living condition and to reach these goals of mine, I will never step back but keep struggling no matter how many obstacles I have to face with.

As the time grew up...

Since I grew up, my parents have taught me to be a responsible person and learn to be flexible and dare to face with all problems in all circumstances. They taught me how to be a good person to myself and how to be a good person in other people’s eyes. And what I really love about my parents is how they treat me like a princess and I really respect how they never get fed up in giving me advice every times I’ve done something wrong.
Everyone who knows me always see me as I am the happiest girl on earth, I never sharing my problems and crying for help. I really love to live my life simply, I love to be myself, and I just love the way I are; with the sense of humor, enthusiasm, and abilities to work hard and make correct decision under pressure has attracted people to me since my school years.
I have graduated MBA major in General management with an intention to obtain valuable knowledge of how to lead, organized and supervise people, how to be diplomatic, and how to make people believe in me and success of a project under my supervision.

Through my ambition and thirst for achievements has brought me into a business field because of various opportunities opened by the free market economy and plus, the encouragement from my family.
I has obtained job with one of the leading Company that provides HR services, Great Alliances, starting from an internship. I think I am a sociable person, and most people did says I am a nature conversationalist and I also love to listen to educated people or business people talking about stuffs related to business and other relevance topics that can help improve my general knowledge about my area of expertise; in addition, “Great job, my daughter!” was the best compliment from my family. Hence, pursuing the admiring comment has taught me to reach for perfection, made me meticulous, accurate, result-oriented and hard-working and become who I am, now.

Whom i cherish the most...

To me, my mum is the most fantastic woman. She is the only mum who dares to do everything for the happiness in family, she never afraid of risk-taking, she never frightened of difficulties; as long as, it can bring the prosperity for the family, she sure will not waste a minute to go for it.
I have learn a lot from my mum, “Never give up, reach for perfection and the output of a team is always greater than an output of an individual” were my greatest motivations in achieving any of my goals. What is more, I have learn that persistence, meticulousness, punctuality, and, of course, reliability and quality are very important for being successful in any business.

My dad is the only dad who dares to sacarify everything and even his lives just to protect us, the family that have been built with an empty hands, and he never hesitates to risk a things to keep us safe. And what is best about him is how he always finds various ways to talk to me and advise me and he will get bored in these at nowhere.

Last but not least, my mum will always be the role model in my heart, my dad will always be the hero in my soul and my grandma will always be the best elderly legendary in my life. And I can have today, because of them and through their sacrificed. So, the love and how I respect them is immeasurably and I am sure they can clearly understand how much I cherish and worshiped them.

Again, Mum, i'd like to thank you in letting us believe that we could be whoever we wanted to be, do whatever we wanted to do, there were no limitations except our drive, confident, ambition and creativity.
Thanks for teaching me not to afraid to dream, thanks for showing me that life is always goes on. No one is perfect, but try to be the best we ever could be. Thanks, mummy and thanks daddy..i love you both with all my heart.

Respectfully to the love you've installed in me, i am honor to tell the world how much you mean to my life, and how proud i am to be born as ur daughter.

Hi Virac! You certainly made a great choice for your dream car. Everyday drivability is the foundation for the Audi R8. The R8 is almost as quiet and easygoing as Audi's own sedans. It has electromechanical steering, plus shock absorbers filled with electromagnetically controlled fluid, which makes it easy to adapt to any road surface.
