Mine also had an accident a long time ago and even has a scar from the impact.
In our case, my wife likes amusement parks and I don't, so she says that going with me is like going to the amusement park

Awesome!

My wife and I have been together since high school. She always rides shotgun but little did I know she’d been paying attention to my driving. Now she carries a lot of speed thru med-fast corners in her e92 M3 and f22 m240ix. She drives our g20 330 ix m sport much slower because it has a harsh stock adaptive suspension and its underpowered (her words). I try to convince her to drive the g20 more but her answer is always “why? You know I don’t prefer to drive it.” Time for another MCS setup…

Nice group! We were trying to get a drive together for tomorrow but a storm is coming in, so just a solo run for me today. Temps are dropping! +3°C at the start and got to +8° by the time I got to the coffee shop. Tourists are gone and it’s boost weather!

Perfect temperature for brakes and engine oil/intake air

Ooh, now that’s a capable car! I came up on one a couple months ago but they didn’t want anything to do with me, lol.
Sounded so awesome!

I’ll have to find the clip of the 2 c8 mules that came by the house, before the zr1 was released.

I can’t say, but I doubt it would be worse. He’s got cup2s and kw v4 coils. I think he said he’s at 3900 lbs but I might be mistaken. I believe he said the seats saved 100lbs each, iirc. I couldn’t set the drive time early enough and we hit traffic. I’m going to try to get to him to my favorite road with no traffic. I’m genuinely curious if I can drop him, but it’s doubtful.

More power for this boat on a winding road is unnecessary, it is more favorable to remove weight than to add power.

Yeah I’m not sure what his ultimate build goals are. Huge power with a focus on an analog feel. The analog goal seems kinda crazy since the f90 is amazingly tech laden, but it seems he has the time and money. I’ll try to spend some more time with the owner and his car to document more of the build, and of course I’ll want to see how much better the car performs. I’ll see if I can find a build journal.

Timing is always the key. My p-car friends are lazy and don’t want to wake up early enough. Green is good but Man, the colors are pretty great. This is Vail Valley 2 years ago (haven’t gotten out that way this year, during fall colors).

I love those landscapes!
Also always willing to leave early to go on a route.

Sadly I won't be mountain driving for a while. Our mountains were completely devastated by Helena. It's unreal. Towns and roads that were on a waters edge are gone or severely damaged. Mudslides wiped out roads.

So sorry for all the devastation. A difficult reminder that nature is volatile, and life can change for any of us, at any time.
