I will say I am a BMW guy, so there is bias here. But I've had lots of experience with German cars, both owned and friend-owned, and worked on them a lot. (Specifically the 2.7T, 1.8T motors from Audi and the S50/S52 motors from the e36 M3's and the S62 motor from the E39 M5.) The bang for buck and maintenance costs are in my experience lower than Audi or Merc. With that said, German is German, so don't expect Ford or Honda maintenance costs. I've personally never dabbled in Audi or Merc but my friends have, and lets just say they all went back to BMW's. As long as you take care of them, they will treat you right. The guy I sold my e39 M5 to in Mentor is/was selling his E46 M3 because he's DDing the M5. E36 M3 (may not have enough straight line go for you coming from a bike, car is still fun to drive.) E39 M5. (You can haul the kids and haul ass. German v8's are intoxicating.) E46 M3 (Metallic exhaust note, less seating room.) E46 ZHP (Basically the 4 door e46 m3 that bmw never made.) E60 M5 (More in maintenance costs, but German v10 sounds amazing.) E90 M3 (Again, German v8 and comes in a coupe or a sedan.) Stay away from the audi's the 2.7Ts (aka b5 s4) those can be money pits. The 1.8T's arent quick or fun at all unless you mod them, and then they become not so reliable. Stay away from Mercedes. AMG's can be fun but on average you'll dump more money into a Merc than a bmw. I wont even respond to the G37 (slow) or the TT comment (Unless it's a new TTRS). Tony, you are a smart consumer so I know I don't need to tell you to do a PPI at a 3rd party dealer on whatever you plan on buying. If the current owner or dealer isn't willing to do a PPI, then I'd move on.

Don't get too excited Dan, it's next next weekend.

Even if there is no improvement, who cares your selling it anyway!

Too many squids that don't know any better still go there and buy shit. And there are PLENTY of squids in cbus.

LOL F Iron Pony. If I lived close I'd only use them to try on gear. And use their parking lot to meet up with people. Even their sponsored posts here are generic, not tailored to the members here. I've almost asked Ben how much they pay a year to be a sponsor, so I could pay just to not have them on here.

Interesting, I've never heard of these so I did a tad bit of reading. Haven't come across a horror story yet....

Forgot those started back up...

Nice congrats!

Niceeee

Car. IMO you need reliable all-weather transportation before you need a toy. But since you asked, stock. Also, you know NC gets cold and snows in the winter too right?

When I bought my RF1200, I literally walked into the store door dead set on the RPHA10. While I don't regret the decision, the RPHA was a really comfortable helmet that fit me well. The inner liner was great too, very soft.

Hiring internally? Not sure yet?

Congrats! How'd your current employer take it?

Welcome......back!

Welcome.

Dang, you don't exercise and lost 8lbs? Amazing what a good healthy diet alone can do.

Nice! What kind of work out regiment do you have?

How old is it? What model? I have 0 issues throwing down my hard earned cash for a good lid. I went all out in 2016 and got the top of the line corsair. Shortly after I had a big high-side at NJMP. I thrashed my suit (had holes that I ended up fixing this winter), my gloves, and parts of my boots. I also thrashed my arai. There are some deep gouges in the top of the helmet as well as a few spots that are nearly flat because it was dragged on the pavement. I coughed up blood for the next 3 days. My head was the ONLY part of my body that didn't hurt in the slightest. I'll never think twice about buying a good lid lol. I'm also 3/3 for not paying MSRP for any of my arai's. Edit: It was the one in my sig. RIP

Ah yes. Now it's a Gay Garage Gangbang.

Bled the brakes and switched to water on the track bike. Also put the bodywork back on. Also did the hubs and rotors on the truck. What a pain in the ass that was.

Heeeessss aaaaaliiiiiveeeee!
