Yours and your friends cars are always so cool. Next time I'm in Japan we really need to hang out, lol.
Definitely man, grab a rental and hit some mountain routes with me too!

Wow, I'm quite surprised people agree with me about the AMG One. I was getting ready to put my flame suit on since last time somebody brought up a hot take about the Dodge Demon, it got pretty heated in here.
Yes, I was trying to shove as many heat related puns in there as much as possible haha.
Me personally, the ultimate be all and end all goal would be to buy a 6MT 911 and daily drive that thing. If I can get to that in this lifetime, I'd know that I have made it lol.
My Dad's 70th birthday is tomorrow so we went to the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta yesterday and did the VIP Tour + Demo Lap + Lunch at restaurant 356. The VIP tour was informative and interesting but the real highlight was the demo lap and then lunch at the 356.
We did our laps in a Miami Blue 911 Carrera S but some lucky fellow in front of us got to do his in a 911 GT3 RS. Seeing that car in action was definitely the cherry on top of a great day. The GT3 RS is an absolute animal and made the (very nice) Carrera S seem sort of boring in comparison.
Our bread service at the restaurant after our demo laps had butter that was shaped like a 911. Because, why not?!
And, bonus clip of the GT3 RS spinning and then accelerating away from us. I wish I had more than 8 seconds on film though. I can watch and listen to it all day.

hnnggg. That miami blue Carrera S looks good.
Nah, wife gave me the blessing for a Macan (GTS?) this fall/winter and a sports car (Cayman?) of some sort for spring 2019. Best of both worlds, no? Happy problems.Yeah, you should totally get that 991.2 Carrera S in Miami Blue instead of the M2 and M240i, Base Macan or Audi S4, S5.
Come on, you know you want to.

The new Hyundai Ioniq looks pretty cool imo, wouldnt mind one.
If you'd like I can support your feelings as well and someone will certainly yell at me for it.

Guys, I found my 370Z.
I popped in the VIN and a public records site came up with the owner name and address registered (btw, wtf too easy).
I Google Mapped it...and there she is. Sitting underneath a canopy car cover just a few towns over. :'(
Guys, I want her back. He probably doesn't even treat her the way I did. I was better to her.
I think I'm gonna creep on the car over the weekend...
To be fair the reason why people yelled at you and not him is because he expressed a personal preference while you attacked the very existence of such cars and more or less badmouthed anyone that had/would like one.If you'd like I can support your feelings as well and someone will certainly yell at me for it.
Fuck it, go buy it back!Noooooooo!!! I found the house from Google Maps was sold last month!! FUCK! Look how dirty the wheels are!
Goddamn you, current owner. How could you be doing this!?
Of the 3 people I reached out to on FB, 2 got back to me, and it's not them. The third is a real estate agent, and the listing on this house is so fucking clean.
And he even had the whole house staged flawlessly. The people from the Z forums who have spotted the car before told me it's a young guy driving it, just like the agent.
It leads me to believe it could be this guy. But man, if he moved...and if it's this 3rd guy, he moved from Orlando to Lake Worth FL, which is a trek. :'(
Fuck it, go buy it back!
All the more reason to prevent further dilapidation really.Who knows how well he's taken care of her. :'(
Good to hear about the Macan GTS. I've booked a test drive with the dealership next week. Hope it is amazing! I've read that it is the best bang for the buck in the line-up and even sportier than the non-performance package Turbo.

It makes a huge difference.
If you haven't driven it, you'll love it. Tried it at the LA Experience Center and it's great. I mean, I personally think the Base Macan is already amazing since it is so comfortable compared to my Cayman and Boxsters, but to have that comfort along with the performance of a sports car is insane. It's sad you only get to test drive it, if you're not he edge then you should definitely just rent one off Turo.com or something for a weekend and test it out even further.
To be fair, if the wheels are covered in brake dust, then it probably means the car has been driven and continues to be used. I think it's more sad for a car to sit in a garage for weeks at a time without usage.
But like everyone else, if you feel terribly about it, buy it back. I think Nissan 370Z's are awesome.
I found the actual owner of my car now on FB. I sent him an FB message and he hasn't replied back. He may very well be without power or something. Idk. :'(
ANSWER ME!
I'm noticing that that light blue color is starting to appear everywhere now, probably because Ford has it available on both the RS and Mustangs.
Alpha being that creepy ex...
NiceI haven't really taken a lot of photos of my car, but here's one that I took a couple of months back....

Sorry Alpha I had to lol.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why you re-adjust your ride height after new coils have had a month or so to settle (2.6cm drop from the height they were when set) thankfully I anticipated a drop of around about that so it's more or less spot on.
p.s. 19" wheels do indeed fit a twin.
Thanks bro!And Example B! Possibly the best looking wheels I've seen on a red GT86.
Lucked out on Uber this morning and got a MAYBACH! It was a "select" but the dude said business was slow so he was slumming it - and that he usually does private events and fancy weddings and so on. I didn't realize the drivers had so much control over what tiers they were able to be in. I was bummed it was only a 15 minute ride. That thing is just swell. I've been in an older one before in Singapore a couple of years ago, but I guess I didn't realize they put more Mercedes named branding in it. The first one I rode in only had Maybach logos and stuff, but this one had Mercedes and S Class on it. Or vice versa I suppose.
He was glad I was into the car but he really didn't seem to know all that much about it.

Nice
Two examples of folks on this page that have cars with awesome wheel choices. Example A - Looking good! Is that a BMW wheel or aftermarket?
Gorgeous car and I love those wheels, are they BBS?
Thank you!
Thanks! Those are aftermarket wheels.
Thank you! Unfortunately they're not lol. They're VMR wheels V810.
Thanks bro!
Previously it was running white RS05RR's
Switched to the Ray's 57 Xtremes for summer, will be back to the Enkei's when winter sets in because the rubber on them handles a *lot* better on wet roads than Nitto NT05's
Fun day today. Drove a bunch of cars for extended test drives without any sales rep with me. Here's my 2 cents :
2018 S5 sportback : great look (inside and outside), nice seats and gadgets, best sound system I've heard in a car, good performance on the street, quiet engine/exhaust noise and the acceleration is not as "explosive" as the C43. Amazing daily driver though.
2018 SQ5: floaty suspension, same engine as S5 I believe, but felt lethargic. Definitely no Macan, nor S5/C43 in terms of performance.
2017 Macan base (used) : slowest car of them all, drove much better than SQ5 but not as well as S5 or C43. I can understand why everyone else says it doesn't drive like any other SUV. Cramped back seats. Don't think it's for me, and I am tempted to cancel my GTS test drive.
2017 C43 AMG sedan: by far the most fun to drive. Ridiculously fast. Great engine noise/exhaust (much better than F80 M3 imo). Power everywhere. Makes you want to speed all the time. So-so sound despite Burmester setup, navigation and menu screens look outdated, rear of the car still looks not quite right. Debating between this and S5 sportback.
Planning for M2, M240 test drive next week. Maybe I'll get to test drive a RS3 too.

Speaking of wheels...
Drove a stupid amount in my shitty old pick up to get these today. Tomorrow I'll clean them up, and put them on. More pics tomorrow
Man, that $350 wallet thread is fucking hilarious. I can't imagine all those folks come in here and see how much we spend on our cars... they'd probably suffer an aneurysm lol.
Isn't Dreams-Visions the one who got a C63 or E63 recently?
I can clip intracranial aneurysms (hence the name) so no worries.they'd probably suffer an aneurysm lol

I was just about to make this same post lmao. I hope they never see my wallet, I don't want the gaf mob to get me
Are they unpainted metal, or painted?Fuck, I'm a moron.
Please tell me I can fix this! "Cleaned" 2 wheels before I noticed the damage I was doing.
And when it rains...
You may recall I recently (4-6 months ago) installed new springs. I let them settle for about a week and got an alignment.
