2000 Audi Nogaro S4 BiTurbo Quattro
Owner: Daryl Nero
Featured on Audiwerks: April 2002

This months featured ride is Daryl "MoBrazen" Neros' S4. If you're in the Yay area, you're most likely to hear this S4 pass you by. I'll tell you straight up, this ride is LOUD. I recently caught up with Daryl over the weekend chilling, eating some R&G Lounge (The best Chinese Restaurant in the city). Check out our conversation...

Awerks: So Whats going down man? How did you get that name, "MoBrazen"?
Daryl: "MoBrazen" is "more brazen" than "2Brazen". 2Brazen was the license plate on my/my mom's 1990 Jetta GLI 16v. Everything stems from the license plate

Awerks: ahh.. i see, so how's the R&G?
Daryl: R&G food is off the hook as usual. I forgot to ask for steamed rice instead of their fried rice w/eggs though. :/

Awerks: hahaha.. cool, cool. So you were probably one of the first S4's up north, right? what made you choose the S4? and why Nogaro?
Daryl: Not quite. It got delivered on Memorial Day 2000. I chose Nogaro after I saw the brochure from the dealer. It was either Nogaro, Hibuscus Red, or Cactus Green & I chose Nogaro. The Blue Alcantara seats sold me!

Awerks: Yeah, them seats are hot! your car was the first S4 i've ever been in. It's fast as hell. I know you've seen Josh's S4 with the Oem RS4 bumper. Any ideas what's next for your car?
Daryl: The next move for me is to get Downpipes. I have toyed with the thought of getting a new chip brand or even Nitrous for the drags, but I'm not sure I want to do that yet. Downpipes for sure, then I'll see what else gets developed for the S4.

It seems everyone but me wants me to get LCD screens for my system, but I just don't see a need for them (yet). Go figure!

Awerks: You gotta get an LCD head unit.. it's the shit man. 2 movies and 1 cd and you're in LA. Time flys when you're watching a movie man.. haha

Anyways, I hear downpipes are the way to go on an S. Thinking of R&G is making me hungry.. Any last shouts, props or thing's people should know before approaching you?
Daryl:Just wanna say thanks to you of course, S4ToGooo / ChaoticS4, all my peeps over at AudiWorld and anyone else I forgot.

As for approaching me, just remember that "MoBrazen" isn't just a screen name or my license plate, it's a state of mind and I live up to it! Just be real!

Awerks: Check out Daryl's photo's and check out his stereo mods, and kids... you can learn something from this.
