Love my C8 daily, but GM’s approach to customer experience & warranty repairs doesn’t line up with how good the car is.

Get back into the main game now if you’ve taken some time off since completing the story - this games punishes rust worse than anything I’ve ever played.

Has anyone said “full frontal nudity” yet?

Amen. My trackbike hauler Transit 250 had a “Superleggera” vinyls on the front doors and it generated almost as many giggles as my racing career.

Northern Atlanta burbs:

I have the all-season Pilots on my ‘22 non-Z51; they’re pretty sticky, so the car *may* not be let down that much.

I see a lot of Altima cosplay perpetrated by Tesla drivers in my commute from the north burbs into Atlanta and back

This feels like somebody made a movie based on an unreleased Coheed & Cambria album.

Absolutely unhinged journalism, and I’m here for it.

The nonturbo 3000GT/Stealth models were always just okay.  ND 

1. E70-era BMW X5 (best in silver) may be the best-looking SUV I’ve ever seen.

haha, nothing will make you pay attention to suspension and chassis like a bike with bad bits! I look forward to being updated with your progress

Judging by the general grunginess of the bike, I’d assume that nothing on it has been taken care of - take it apart as much as you can / feel comfortable doing, and then clean & inspect everything. It could be that you don’t find any trouble spots and just spend a few hours learning about the bike, but you may find…

You’re telling me that someone on Twitter both misconstrued a report AND overreacted?

First-gen (91-93) 3000GT VR4 - So much cool tech wrapped in gorgeous 90's Japanese bodywork.  I put 260K on mine, and miss it every time I see one.  A modern Camry is probably faster, but it was an amazing, amazing vehicle for me.

Great stuff - even after more than a decade of racing bikes and coaching trackdays, I still love how physically, intellectually, and emotionally empty I am after a few fast laps. It’s literally the only time in my life that I’ve been able to focus on one thing, and I’m a little sad for people who never get to…

Both great ideas! Mine is currently on Michelin PS4s - they’re not runflats, but they may be louder than a softer, more comfort-focused tire.

2018 M240i - it’s loud on the interstate. I know that BMW positioned the F22 on the cheap end of the line, but $50 worth of sound deadening would make it near-perfect.

That transmission can be finicky, but surely someone has figured out how to bulletproof it since I had owned my first gen (bought with 40k, sold 10 years later and 260K with none of the usual Getrag issues)

My 335d threw a code that suggested that it had bad carbon buildup - pretty common on the BMW diesels. It went into limp mode, and I took it to a local BMW ‘specialist’ who agreed with the diagnosis and did the carbon clean service. They called me to say that they cleared the buildup-related code, but the car is still…
