MT says this brilliant piece of German engineering will run a 14.1. unfortunately it comes with the stock wheels but the lack of parasitic drain due to the car not holding a charge has got to take it to sub 14 sec.

What a ridiculous scenario! Nobody in Fox Valley is placing their life on a drag race. We all know that roll racing is the race of choice in that area!

So I splurged a bit this week and bought new center caps! I thought they were a bit expensive so I ran the part number and found that they were FLOATING CENTER CAPS! All I could think about was Jermain Dupri on Cribs pointing out the center caps on his Rolls Royce or Bentley and I had to buy them. They were about $20 more than a set of normal OEM center caps so it made the best financial sense to do this. That and I'm a child and this makes me giggle. I'll always be a ricer at heart...

You should hang out more when I invite you places...

Is that the oddest photo of Valencia orange ever or some other color I've never seen on a 1M?

That was my boss and I'm traveling alone this time lol. I'm at my usual.

See, now you're putting a lot of pressure on me to make the right decision

How does it feel?

After staring at my rod bearings in my garage for the past 6 months or so I dropped the car off on Monday at EFab Motorsports in Lake Zurich to have my RB's done. Eric was great! Very knowledgeable with some cool projects going on. I had the BE bearings installed with the ARP bolts which are both an upgrade from stock. Eric was very complimentary of the car after working on it and couldn't say enough nice things about how well maintained it appears to be. The stock bearings had over 77k on them and a little bit of wear but according to him they didn't look to be failing anytime soon. Regardless, I'm very happy to have had them replaced for peace of mind. Up next I want to get the GTS DCT tune. Other than that adding some bolt ons is tempting but I'm so happy and comfortable with the current power level I don't feel like I need more and I'm the kind of person who's more happy driving it than tinkering with it.

I live the red wheels on it. Looks great!

I was fucking waiting for this one lol

PC guys, what's a good program to monitor my temp's?

One of like 3 post 2000's American vehicles that has appreciated or remained flat lol. Add that to the "If I win the lottery" list.

Nice job! That's pretty impressive man. Kudos to you.

That's so awesome. So much want!
