  1. Nice pick up. Are things things quick? I know nothing about them.

     

    PDK makes it feel quick. It feels like a high 12 sec car. Hanldes legitimatley like a 911.

     

    Some angles I love these things, some angles make me gag. An interesting car regardless.

     

    In a word, unique. ;) I for one always thought they looked cool, different for sure.

  2. Nice pick up , and don’t really see a ton of these so it will stand out a little bit and a whole lotta bit more than a 5 series haha

    So where is the for sale add for the bmw ?

     

    Right! My thought too. FS add will come soon I am sure, but I am debating keeping it for dedicated witner duty since its really at the bottom of the deperiection curve.

     

    Do these have ass massagers?

     

    Headt, Cool, No rub! But fun privacy shades all around :p

     

    Man, I love those cars. If I ever make real money someday I'll own one.

     

    You dont need real money for this! Trust me!

     

    Yet another nice pick up, what are the specs?

    Its a 13' Panamaera 4. 85k miles, really as clean as it looks in pics. Just at the right place at the right time with this one.

     

    Nice ride. I like all the white vehicles. My Tercel must have made an impression when you came down to Easton and Grovetucky all those years ago in yours.

     

    Ha! All the white is unintentional. This fucker could have been neon green and I would have bought it for what I got it for. Hell, it could have been slavage title and I would have bought it LOL. Beggers cant be choosers!

     

    Congratulations, that will be the next step when replacing our 5 too.

     

    No regrets so far. It seems as long as you avoid air suspention cars they are pretty reliable which was big for me.

  3. My trusty BMW 535ix has been the best true DD I have ever owned. 6 years, 65k trouble free miles fast, comfy, AWD, and a nice body line. I still think it is the best value in the luxury sedan segment bar none. But as most car guys do, I always had an eye our for whats next. Can anything beat the for the $ in the space? No. So whats the next level? S Class Benz? Mazi? Porsche? a Newed BMW? LOL. I had a few in mind, and was lucky enough to find an absolute crack head deal from a doctor that was dumping his "winter beater". So cheap I thought I was going to have to wire money to a Nigerian price to get it. :lolguy:

     

    To quote the great Doug DeMuro "There is no car on earth where you can spend less than $30k and look as you could if you got a used Panamera!" :dumb:

  4. Just curious if anyone was laid off when Covid hit, then went back to work only to be let go again. If so, has that affected your benefits from the government?

     

    I was laid off in April and I recently got an offer for work but its only for 6-8 week project. I really want to go back to work but I don't want to endanger future assistance for such a short gig; 6 weeks of work versus a possible 5+ months without additional assistance is a tough choice.

     

    Anyone have experience with this?

     

     

    I would call or got o a SSA office and speak to someone about unemployment. In this situation, I am not sure it would negatively effect you. But if it did, I would Indeed hold off for a better offer.

  5. Thanks guys!

     

     

    Love it!

     

    "You know how to beat a GTR on the tree right?..." Nicely done!

     

    Ha! If you watch some of Cliff's (owner of IFO) other videos, he is ALWAYS askign about reaction times lol. He is a real drag racer at heart, but know all the car show fuckery brings in the big $$$ so he deals with the shenanigans.

     

    Good work. That thing hauls. What was the fastest class there?

     

    Depending on the day, FIS or FIP is usually the fastest class. At this event, FIP has 2 legit 7 second cars, so it was the faster class. I have to race FIP with the GT42, and was not very compaptove, so I stepped down to a 64mm.

  6. Congratulations, JP!

     

    I asked my son if he wanted to go find you, but I have to admit I was still a little COVID-shy, and after a couple of rows of show cars we were both ready to leave. We woke up really early for the 555 run and I didn’t plan for IFO (no hat/sunblock, no Food/water and didn’t want to wait in line).

     

    After I get the Volvo tuned with the Hilton Stage 2 I just got, I’m going to take my son to a Test and Tune to try some drag racing.

     

     

    Yes, I hear you there. Not much masking or social distancing happening at IFO. Thats for sure!

  7. Went early Sunday morning on my first dedicated 555 run with the Volvo. Made my son throw up. :lol: It was a blast and the weather was perfect.

     

    On the way back home from Zanesville on 70W, we stopped in to IFO at National Trails. I have never been there, and with my 9-yo son getting huge into cars, I'm glad we went. It honestly reminded me a bit (a tiny bit, very tiny) like ALMS Sebring, where there's track action going on in the background and a carnival-like atmosphere: more than just the vendor stations and show cars, there were a bunch of yokels in jacked-up trucks, pit bikes, parading around the grounds. Even Hector from F&F was there signing autographs.

     

    My son really liked the drag racing. He seemed tickled when JP ripped the HoboEvo to 150mph and I told him that "Daddy knows the owner of that car". Of course, Ronnie Nutter showed up in his '64 Impala ragtop, stuntin' on everybody with 3-wheel motion.

     

    I saw a few carguys I know there. Surprisingly YOUNG crowd, despite people in their 40s-50s talking about how kids-these-days aren't much into cars. My son and I were masked up the whole time; hoping COVID doesn't bite everyone in the ass. Glad something was going on in 2020 for the local car scene.

     

     

    Hey, thanks! I ended up winning my class. :)

     

    Hard to find me in that sea of people, but feel free to say high next time. :)

  8. Any 20 year-old Viper is going to feel like a high-powered farm tractor relative to any modern'ish car, C6Z included.

     

    I was going to post something, but this is better than anything I could have posted lol.

     

    It really depends on your goals, but you have to really WANT a viper, if you are going to buy a cheap viper to drive.

  9. They can bc rotary 13b 2nd gens have a rep for bad hot starts,I have been lucky until now never had a flooded start or hot start issue.

     

    .

     

    If its the problem I had, cleaning the injectors will do nothing to fix it. Easy to test though... pull the fuse, crank, repeat. If it immediately starts then you will want to just put a switch on that injector circuit
