I forgot something at work and needed to go back and get it. One mile from my destination I saw an Aston Martin (sounding great) followed closely by a Porsche. I had the opportunity to make a 180 and did. I caught up to them a few turns later. The Porsche was a 4S. Eventually the Aston turned off and the Porsche stayed stuck behind a slow poke, and I spun back around to the office again.

Got our baby professionally detailed today, she looks great!

Def needed it after the track day at Zcon and driving up there and back.

I want a 1M, but no one has an allocation. Debating if the m3 is worth it.

I like that new 1M. Was glad to see they finally made a M version of the 1 series. So they are calling it a 1M?? Not M1??

yah, i was seriously considering the 135i a few years ago to possibly get as my dd. with the issues people were having (and the issue I had with my previous MINI which was partly a BMW-serviced car with annoying problems) i waited and upgraded my hobby car instead (my Z, sold the MINI).

my G's pretty and all still but she can't live forever so in the next 2.5yrs i want to sell the car and get the 135i. she will be 10yrs old.

which is i guess nothing vs mr.onzedge's cool datsun.

im not selling the Z for a while.. no way.

Haha speaking of which, the new Kia Optima was indeed our rental car to Houston. It's probably our best rental car compared to the Cobalt and Focus. People actually stop me to ask about the car, and I tell them it's a rental. Furthermore, my parent's '08 Accord was traded in for a turbo Sonata last month.

Haha... on topic, I ghetto-rigged my camera to my steering wheel (upside down) with masking tape to record various "before" videos yesterday. A good video for comparision is probably the 3rd gear pull to redline from 50 MPH.

Haha, I was trying to think of how to mount my GoPro to record speedometer vids...I may have to try your method.

The CRX driver dumped the clutch as he was letting off the gas and stalled it at the light.

I never could understand why ricers do the whole womp-womp-womp revving thing while... well, while pulling away from any stopped position.
They caught up to me with a ricer fly-by, hit the brakes hard and rode next to me with their engine bouncing off the rev limiter. I was quite impressed!

lol. over the weekend i had a hellaflushthetoilet MR2 following me around after my quick photoshoot. He lined up next to me and was waiting for the road to merge past this one intersection. obviously i sensed he wanted me to gun it to see if his hellaflushatoilet could smoke the living shitt out of the kenchan.

so as usual i just slowed down to let the boy pass. the light at the intersection ahead was green but suddenly we saw this hyundai running a redlight about 100ft in front of us.

doh!

if i would've gunned it a second or two earlier, that flushatoilet would've been broadsided and really flushed down the toilet.

so i saved the boy's life... yet he still floored the living crap out of his flushatoilet after we passed the intersection going well over 80 in a 35mph zone.

these kids just dont get it.

in all honestly that optima looks better than any corolla and the new civic's. so KIA is on the right path. it actually reminds me of a lexus when looked at from certain angles.

accord getting its arse handed by a sonata turbo, huh? well, the current accord isn't THAT impressive so it was just a matter of time, huh?

honda's are very lacking these days as far as fun cars. i use to be more of a honda guy but now im a Nissan guy.

i probably use masking tape the most ouf of all tapes i use. it's great. unlike duct tape no residue, easy to cut with your fingers, pretty strong for temporary solution, etc.

M1 is a supercar. It's technically a 1 series m coupe, or 1m.

They finally wrapped up the wonky stuff with the early 1s that stopped me from buying one in the first place, but it looks like they are impossible to find.

I saw one in a show room while I was in high school. It was so Kenchan (cool). I walked around it and stared so long one of the salesman said something like "so are you going to take it?" Being young I got a little scared I was doing something wrong, said no, and left.

I took a ride in the stock 1M on a set of slicks with a pro driver and that car is pretty crazy. I couldnt imagine what it would be like w a couple mods.
