    They have been the same with me the past 2 years at the former American Lemans series and now Tudor series.  The guys go out of their way to make talk to you about your car and show you around and take pictures.  They always have some kind of poster to give away or license plate holder or something.  I have no issues supporting them. ECS better not fuck this up.

    The e30 indeed is a magical creature, most especially in its purest form.

    My boss's son owns one of These things! Well the "old" i8 or whatever. He ordered it two years ago and then it finally arrived this year. First time I saw it I didn't really have a clue about the i8. Thought I was looking at some space ship. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Being an electrical engineer that designs outdoor lighting for most of my projects, I would be interested in seeing the spec sheets on these lights. I have seen/dealt with some pretty bad lighting fixture designs, so I am curious about these.

    I watched some forza 6 clips yesterday, it looks great! I saw standing water on track which was awesome. i wish the chase view followed the car more tightly but it all looks great. Anyone else not care about the hypercars in video games (Pagani, mclaren, lambo, ferrari etc) and stick with the "real world" passenger cars? Project Cars is the way to go with PS4. Hopefully GT7 comes out in a reasonable timeframe and has the sound quality and physics of Project Cars, if not better

    Corsa didn't like my computer, that or I forgot to install the framework.... If you are looking for a good offroad sim Dirt has a surprisingly good engine behind it, and is setup to work with a wheel and whatnot.

    I'm happy with a shop in Watertown, Checki auto body. They do decent work and do a fair amount of resto (vs. insurance) jobs, altho the bulk of their work is on domestics. John and son just cleaned up my E34 after a deer collision. I provided the parts, they assembled and painted. Good guys.

    I bought new Yokohama S-Drives Last Spring so the tires have maybe 5-6k on them. I had my car on the lift last week to change my oil and I realized that I have serious camber/toe wear on the inside of my rear tires due to wore out trailing arm/subframe bushings. I know I need to replace the bushings but its not in the cards right now since its my summer daily driver. My question is what tires should I replace them with? Ive narrowed it down to either another set of Yokohama S-Drives or Dunlop Direzza DZ102's. If anyone has ran the Direzza's, feel free to chime in. Here's a pic for reference to the car they are going on. (I thought that pic looked good on my phone until I uploaded it on an actual computer screen. haha) [image: 148a1194fb4e66b46f6d583d9ad22508.jpg]
