That’s a cool shot no matter how you feel about the headlights!

I remember being a defender of the friend egg headlights in school... until I saw a 997... Then I totally understood what everyone was talking about...

So far, after my high school car, it’s been the fact that my cars MUST have a manual transmission. Otherwise, I’m flexible on just about everything else. Granted, I’ve only ever owned 3 cars...

I love my Dad’s 2.5L 2001 Z3 even though it’s now fast at all. I hope you find the right car for you. My dream is to get an S52 M roadster with the blue two tone interior. If only I had disposable money for a weekend car...

I thought I was a decent (better than average) driver until I got to do a track day in a 911 GT3. I was totally outdone by the car. I barely bothered it. People in slower cars were pulling away from me. I was humbled, but also shaking from the adrenaline. I could see how much I have to learn, and it’s a mountain. Now…

I’ve been lucky in Michigan, but I also have ran 15" winter steelies (that bent a little) and only 17" rims for summer instead of 18 or 19". Here’s a road I used to have to take from the F150 plant. I’m amazed more tires aren’t destroyed on it.

There was a fun chart I saw a long time ago. Basically it was the percent of Nuclear power acceptance by education level and job. The higher your education and/or the more your work in a high science field, the higher your acceptance of nuclear.

Yeah, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you drive on roads like this (Rust Belt roads anyone?)

I know the cop was probably pretty scared being in the middle of the mob (inside a car or not). I’m curious though, if he could have simply let go of the brake and let the car roll, if that would have let the car slowly get out of the situation. Maybe he tried that and there were too many people pushing it back, so it…

Hey that’s the project I’m working on! I’m the interior guy (aka. Make-sure-it-still-looks-normal-with-all-the-extra-stuff-we’re-adding Guy) If only I could tell you the stories... Maybe in 5-10 years, when I’m on a different program and everything we worked on is either built or outdated.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who was thinking this! It’s so exciting that you’ll be sweating at every turn! 

When the Bronco leaks came out, like got really annoying at work. I’m in preproduction builds and I usually take a lot of photos of the quality of the parts or interference issues, etc... to show to management or whatever team needs to help with the fix. When the leak happened, everyone got paranoid about who was…

Those Porsche options will get you... I tried to restrain myself but still ended up at $97,600 for my build... Yikes.

I just signed for a home, so my wife and I have committed ourselves east of the Mississippi for a good long while. There is a lot to like about Michigan at least (especially in the non-cold months). I absolutely love everything I’ve seen on the Lake Michigan side and my wife and I try to visit Traverse City every year…

I have a brother in law in Berkeley. I’ll have to go there with my camera gear next time we visit him. I tried for a few years to get back west, but I’ll probably stay in Michigan for a few years more before trying again. 

I also run an All season/winter combo. I figured the Mazda doesn’t have the power to really need summers, plus I don’t want to get caught out with random weather systems.

I live in SE Michigan too and totally understand the issue about the lack of fun driving roads nearby. I grew up on the outskirts of Phoenix, so all I had to do was drive 10 minutes north to be completely alone to have fun on a road. Then I went to school in Utah and the drives around the mountains were a weekly thing…

In a different price range, 2 years ago, after my Mazda6 got totalled, I was looking at pre-owned (or Ford discounted) Fiesta ST’s since I LOVE driving them around a good road. However, my brother’s reliability issues with his and the fact my drive consists of bumpy and pothole filled SE Michigan roads, it didn’t feel…
