    I didn't even realize until now that's a Veyron SuperSport. Makes it even more impressive of a spot.

     

    I do also like that they are parked in a grass lot across from an F150 and a Sienna.

    Yea this was hospitality parking and these two women got out and immediately went upstairs to a private room in the hospitality building.  They looked like they had no interest in being there other than being seen with the cars lol.

    Love that both those cars are Jameson's height

    And he's maybe 4ft tall.  These cars are as big as I expected them to be but they're all performance, no interior space lol.  They are not for the claustrophobic.

    It's supposed to be like 60 next week and I am really getting the itch. But I really should wait, if it was a newer car I would feel fine, but with it being delicate 31 year old metal, I think I'm going to wait until we are for sure out of the thick of it.

    Everyone at work has started to bring out their summer cars and I'm getting FOMO.

    Just go grab the e30 in the garage.  I'm sure the keys are in it.

    When do the cars come out of hibernation? I see rain early next week but I can imagine they will spray the roads with Salt/cheese brine/chemtrails afterwards though.

    maybe not this saturday, but next? Hope so.

    As soon as the snow melts and I can drive my car out of my back garage to the front garage.

    much smarter and more experienced with me

    We've been experiencing you for years.  With that joke out of the way lol.  I echo the same concern about the turn radius getting on to the 4 post and what's going on to the pallet racking in the far corner.  If it's actual pallets that requires a fork truck then that may be a hassle to jimmy between the lifts with a pallet on it.  My other thing is the orientation of the toolbox.  I'm a big fan of pushing as much as I can against a wall flat AND having it as close to my work station as possible.  I'd almost move the toolbox next to the 4 post (unless that's car storage) or in front of the 2 post since I could see that being a more useful lift for repairs.  I've worked on lifts with the toolbox in front of it and you think "no way, it'll be crowded!" then you do it and you're like "fuck, that's life changing".  Maybe not that dramatic but I always enjoy having tools as close as possible.  I set my 2nd garage up sans lift for now with my toolbox in front of my work station.

    i stand corrected on the brightness! its odd that they've rated the color so high when they are clearly just as white as the 5000k stuff. the guy in the video is confused as well. 

    I questioned my rep at TRS when he recommended these because I did NOT want 7k color but he assured me these would be perfect.  So far my wife LOVES them!

    i thought everyone was over with the purple headlight colors?

    4300 or 5000k have like 50% more lumens than 7k and dont suck in the rain. imagine the jump you just had, double it for good 4000k bulbs!

    You'd have to see these in person but they're not actually 7000k color, they're like a hyper white color once they're warmed up and even seeing it driving down the road at me there's no blue or purple color to it.  My guys at The Retrofit Source highly recommended these and the tests they've done have these ranked at a higher lux than just about any other D1S out there.  There isn't a better bulb on the market than the Osram CBB.

    Skip ahead to the 3:40 mark to see the comparison.  The color on the screen is accurate to what you see in real life.
