^^Truth. That was the first car I've ever driven that I was truly afraid to lay into the throttle. And I've driven some properly quick cars

It's sick, isn't it? I went to a Z Meet (BMW, not Nissan) at Carderock Park with my friend Mark, who owns an S54-powered M Coupe, and he's good friends with the guy who owns the red M Coupe. I was riding in it, and the owner pulls over and says, "So you're pretty good at driving stick?" I was kinda shocked and mumbled something about being about average, as he gets out and tells me to drive it. I was shocked by how smooth all the power comes on. I am in love with that thing haha :drool:

http://lh6.ggpht.com/_jh2HiMm4nKQ/TJ...20%2810%29.jpg That red M Coupe is a really nice looking car. I always did like the M Coupes and never understood why people thought they were ugly. It is a bad-ass hot hatch with rear wheel drive. "The BMW M coupe makes you do bad things. Oh, your descent into deviance starts innocently enough—you blip the throttle at stop lights just to feel the body shiver slightly under the engine's power. Then maybe you try the occasional faster-than-necessary freeway pass. Soon enough, though, you're clocking 110 mph at the end of every on-ramp, doing smoky burnouts in front of the Dairy Queen and donuts in the church parking lot." C&D (Dec. 2001) "If the Corvette is a rebellious child of the extended automotive family, the M coupe is the blackest of sheep. It is the punk kid out behind the garage smoking cigarettes while holding a skin magazine in one hand and throwing rocks through windows with the other, all the while teaching the neighborhood children the more colorful portions of Anglo-Saxon." C&D (Dec 2001)

Let the haters hate. It'll keep these cars out of the hands of your typical BMW driver asshat. Owning a BWM, I'm sure you know the crowd I'm talking about; the guys/girls that make you :facepalm: when the burn out from a red light in their stock 325i.

What is the difference between a porcupine and a BMW? A porcupine has the prick on the outside. Mine does not, but WI is coming soon. I'm running low boost (6 psi) and 93 oct so an IC is not strictly necessary. |
Okay, three more things, and I'm done. Thanks for all the fans :) BTW - I'm a strong believer that all cars should be named, and thus, her name is "Mindy".
1.) If your car can't do this, then it's clearly not making an appropriate amount of torque: http://www.smugmug.com/photos/721311398_ag87W-X3.jpg 2.) If you ever see me around, stop and say hi. I'm always willing to chat with fellow gearheads - here's a glamor shot so you know what I look like: http://www.smugmug.com/photos/835118815_KPyb7-M.jpg 3.) And finally, a wallpaper for all my fans ... http://www.smugmug.com/photos/689362837_Dg7G3-L.jpg Full size here - http://www.smugmug.com/photos/689362837_Dg7G3-X3.jpg Let me know if you have any questions, want more pictures, or simply want me to leave ... have a good day. |
JIMMY KIMMEL????

Neighbor's friend runs over our planted sage bush and smashed pot everywhere = FAIL! Ring neighbor's doorbell with 9yr. old daughter by my side; Lights go out = FAIL Neighbor waking up to driveway full debris, potting soil, and sage bush from said owner = WIN! :fawk: |

Search "roll off" and you'll find plenty of info on the setup.
We've had a couple of our form trucks setup like that so we could drop the containers at the job site and move on. They've been around for years, although I don't know if I've ever seen a car hauler setup like that one. |
:mad: Bad clutch master cylinder cap o-ring = dark fluid? I goddamn hate flushing and bleeding any vehicle hydraulic system!!! It's the only thing I can figure. The o-ring is crushed flat on one side, and surely not doing it's job, but can that much moisture get into the fluid over a 9-12 month period? Enough to cause issues? I'd rather it be this than another damn master or slave.

So I guess Four Lokos are getting the ban around here. I hear that they'll be on sale for $1.25 or something. I don't even care.
