because they could walk into a nice clean shop and buy it instead of going to a dealer.

SSSSOOOOOO.......did you get that shit smell out?

I think that I would drink it regularly, but it wouldn't be my "go-to." I guess my point was that if it was sold here that many of the people who rave about it so much wouldn't have it be their regular either.

looks good Derek. Will the motor clear the stock hood? What were you planning for an intercooler setup?

I know I'm going to get flamed for this.... I like the beer. I think it tastes great, and I LOVE the history of the brewery aspect to it.....BUT. I honestly think that if you could buy it regularly here that people wouldn't be so adament about the beer. I think the exclusivity of the fact you can't regularly get it here adds a lot to the hype.

I'll figure something out. Hopefully I'll be there in the flame-shooter, but if all else fails I love tracking the M3 and still have the parts to do so. It's just a BIT disappointing on the straights after driving the FD.

yeah, I figure either way it's gone far enough that he's screwed even if he didn't do it.

needs a bit more attention than that, but we'll see. I likely won't be able to hit anything before May or maybe even June. When are you planning to start up?

in this day and age though couldn't that be a photochop? Hell, in this VERY f-d day and age it could be a mega-fan who had the same tat and looked similar and got herself beat up just so she could "help" out her idol....I know it's a stretch and a great idea for a Lifetime movie during the day....but not completely out of the question when you look around the internet. Not that I give half a fart about the kid either way, I just wasn't sure if anything was offical yet. Those look like police or hospital photos....yet I haven't heard anything about a police report or a department putting out a warrant.

WOOT! although the chances of getting the FD to the track this year are looking pretty slim....good thing I kept the other wheels/tires/brakes for the M3!

HAHAHA....I wouldn't go holding your breath Tim. Cool little video series though. Nice way to "boil it down" for the layperson.

so....I've heard blurbs here and there, but I thought they hadn't really proved that the picture was ginuinely her? I thought they were spotted together later that night after the "incident" and she didn't look like that? I guess I'm just not up to snuff on my cleb dirt...so anybody got up to date cliffs?

nice cars, and glad to see you're putting them to proper use. Welcome.

can I get a "I told you so"? Sorry to hear you didn't get to have much fun with the car, but hopefully the rest of your trip went well Joe

does not like NASCAR: welcome to the site! Bonus for mentioning Donohue and Mansell

voted Cowboy before the pics started....and I'm sticking to it. Let's be honest Brian posts up some of the most on-point humor on this board.

while this is a repost of a repost....it's still totally worth it. This site could be the best way to waste time on the internet.

crap thats long....cliffs?

I'd be interested. It'd be nice if we could get one of the photogs from the site to come snap pics.

I think the coupes look GREAT. Honestly one of the best looking cars to come out in quite some time. Will it really get that much better mileage than the RX-8 though? I can't see it being enough to really justify the sale/purchase, but if you're bored with the RX-8 then I suppose you can justify how ever you want. How much are you really driving a year? I think the G35 will make a far better street car than the S2K. Are you really wanting a fast car? or just something nice and fun to drive?

this is a good example of the tactics that were being used just about everywhere to bait consumers. Was what they did wrong? YES....however it still takes 2 to tango and the consumers that either lied about things on their apps or bought a house WAY above what they could afford are liable as well. I think the very root of the problem stems from the complete lack of loyalty between companies and employees within the current workforce (or more or less that people are assholes). Joe-blow mortgage broker knows/feels that his company doesn't care about him, but they pay him more for more volume. He doesn't give a flying-F about his customers so he does everything he can to jam them up and make himself as much money as possible. Same thing happened farther up the line. People knew that it wasn't good for the company but didn't care cause it was better for their paychecks....after years of that attitude something had to finally give.

absolutely love the movie....unfortunately won't be able to attend that evening.

Andrew, I really like the swap and think it looks very clean. My only gripe would be doing it to a 337 as others have mentioned. I wouldn't have had a problem with it if you had kept the original parts, but now you can't go back (at least not to the ORIGINAL parts for YOUR car). Other than that I like it.

off-topic....Erik, I don't think the guy was purposely trying to screw anybody, I just think he was clueless....which is what I worry about the entire population of e55 owners. I think they're not really "car people" and don't truly understand conditions of vehicles. on-topic. I vote no to the black, both on the wheels and top. I think if you're considering a change you should remove the R1 wing, fill the holes properly and paint the gas cap cover VR to match the car....wingless FD's are the hotness. Whenever I get around to doing mine it will likely be wingless
