It's not every day that a dealership celebrates the sale of just one car by emblazoning that fact on a billboard, but that's exactly the case for Chicago area Audi dealership The Audi Exchange. Having just sold an R8 GT to a proud new owner in Lake Forest, IL, the dealership made the very clever move of warning local motorists to stay out of its way. Nice job Audi Exchange!
