<edit> Dumb comment was dumb. </edit>

Their noise restriction free days are probably already used up. No room in their calendar? That may be possible but if you haven’t seen these cars struggle to make it around Sonoma, you should check it out. Because that may have more to do with it.

Well, chasing unicorns is a tough business.

Weren’t/Aren’t you in the market for a three pedal e61?

The first time I drove that highway was in the dark, on a very foggy/rainy night, in a car with misaligned headlights.

Lotus Evora S

It’s obviously an SRT. It says so right there.

Do you regret that first sentence like even a little bit?

On one hand, cool, F1 car wreckage. On the other hand, David Coulthard wreckage. Hmmmmmmmmm

I love this car but two things don’t do it for me. One, the milage minus any major records is a flag for me simply because while the jobs are relatively well known and easy to take care of, they aren’t super cheap. The other is the fact that it’s an XiT. I like the four wheel drive system on BMWs, but I’m not a fan of…

Oh you went with the 540! I was thinking about that but I decided I didn’t want to mess with the chain guides/double vanos/manual was a requirement for me.

The farthest I have ever gone is a last minute flight cancellation to San Francisco to immediately booking another flight to Portland when I changed my mind from one BMW 525 touring/5-speed to another. Which I then drove 966 miles home to Santa Barbara.

Nah, he probably wrote this with his rage-boner depriving blood to his brain. Not that he was wrong about this being a political farce of a hearing, but still, he’s definitely letting his umbrage get in the way of thinking clearly.

Honest-internet time. If I had the money to burn, 10/10 would do this. Because as a traveler (and former employee of LAX), fuuuuuuuck that airport.

Ah but he does get to deduct his “office space” which he could count as wherever he writes his blogs and the entire garage which would be a pretty big chunk of square footage. So maybe, ohhhhh, 25% of his rent?

What bias would that be? A bias against report first and substantiate later? Of course. I deal with needing to reference my work on a daily basis. I don’t have the time to waste with poorly researched garbage passed off as fact.

Oh absolutely I do. People are dumb. We’re little more than animals.

I find it interesting that not only what you say is true, but that by and large, the established large circulation publications are fulfilling their own “we’re the enemy” narrative by publishing half-baked garbage in an effort to be “first!!” like a thirsty 12 year old youtube commenter in 2005.

You are correct, but I’m a sucker for BMWs naturally aspirated sixes. Also, unfortunately, I’m starting with a 525 which has the M54B25 engine which while essentially the same engine as the B30, doesn’t take as well to boost because of the head.
