Colorado is based on depreciated MSRP. I paid more in taxes for my 15 year old M5 than I did for my 3 year old JX35.

I’ve seen a few I thought were good, these two were travelling together in full track kit:
Air cooled 911 #1: H2OBLWS

I had a chance to do this with an AMA Superbike racer about 10 years ago at Thunderhill Raceway in CA. It was terrifyingly awesome! I’m a bigger guy, so he didn’t want me to hold him under braking, so I was holding/pushing against the tank. I made it 3 laps before my body said no more. This is the best description I…

Colluding to not have any give on pricing, ie price fixing.

That is some of the stupidest shit I have ever seen.

Uh... if you can prove that it’s collusion and very, very illegal.

“Or got caught up in his spokes?” This happened to me on my bicycle. The guy I was riding with spooked a rattler which struck at him and missed. Unfortunately for both parties involved, I was immediately behind him and the strike went into my front wheel. As would be expected, lots of bad. I semi-abruptly stopped as…

That’s my case. I’m 6'4". Nobody fits comfortably behind me.

I’d look at the actual interior space. If a car’s dimensions are similar, then look at the interior numbers. My e39 is marginally 2" longer, 1" taller, and 3" narrower than a 2017 A4, but the interior is notably smaller 2ft^2. Shit has just gotten bigger. For BMW new 2= old 3, 3=5, 5=7, 7=huge; Audi 3=4, 4=6, 6=8,…

Sorry Stef, but I’m challenging this. I currently have three cars in a two adult household. Excessive? Yes. Functional? Yes. I live in Colorado which is high altitude snow country, I have one kid working on another, a large dog, and our entire family who lives out of state visit regularly. To add insult to injury, I’m…

This. You can spend $10 and get a Dinan badge, but you’ll always know it’s hollow.

Unless is was track time, 200 miles is pretty minimal testing time imho, especially because of the performance nature of the car and upgrades. That’s a spirited afternoon of driving. Hopefully you guys can get some more time to give us a stock vs. Dinan summary.

Quote: Knockoff steering wheels you have to replace when they brake.

Purpose built does not necessarily make it a race car. Is a caged track car that will never be driven on the road a race car? It’s a drift car, which is used in a judged activity. Sure, most of the drivers would do really well in a race situation, but it is still not a race or race car.

Formula Drift is not racing. I don’t care how high you are, it’s not racing.

Good thing about the dash cam - there is a clear shot of the tag there. And this folks, is how we get a hit and run charge.

That car committed suicide. On purpose. In the most painful way possible.

Outlet Cam Position Sensor, bank 1 on e39 M5. It’s between the firewall and block, with is extremely tight. You can only approach it from the passenger side, which means working with your left hand. It’s also mid-forearm down, so it’s hard to bend your arm to it. Located under a bracket that needs to be removed, at…

Yes. First in the neighborhood. There are a few families that are insistent that I rip through the neighborhood because of the sound, but I only drive in first. If I get into sixth, I’m doing at least 75 and it’s probably bogging. I rarely get into 6th.

At this point in time, these cars exist for one purpose: Finding a wrecked M5 and swapping into touring form.
