patsbimmer1 Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I liked bavauto strictly for the catalog. Still sad to see them close the doors after that many years. I wouldn't be surprised if they come back under private equity in name only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCD Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 815AM this morning on I41 S near Racine Ave. A fella in a silver N55 powered 335M Sport slowed down and downshifted next to my lowly e90. Can't remember the last time someone picked a race with me. It's been many years. Always the same result. haha Even better is that I was dropping the car off to have the oil pan gasket replaced, upgraded twins and inlets installed. It'll actually be fast next time someone picks on it. jc43089 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straight6pwr Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 pulling up to @TCD and unknowingly challenging him to a race is like jogging up to Usain Bolt and unknowingly challenging him to a sprint. even if he's unprepared in a tuxedo and dress shoes, it won't end well for you. jc43089, TCD, YoungCR and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REKIII Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Well....50° is when winter tires start to get REALLY squishy and wear very fast. So....based on the forecast, you can either drive like a Grandma and still have bad wear, or you can risk maybe 1 or 2 days of crappy driving on your summers, on the outside chance we get a measurable snow fall.

A few nice days in March and people forget what state they're in. There's a month of sub-freezing temperatures and possible snow in our future. The consequences of getting caught 100 miles from home on summer tires in a snow/ice storm is a lot worse than a little tread wear.
