She's super cute, Adam. Nicely done.
Toby Kente is too!



Speaking of weird kill stories, Gus. I will say that I've had more people fuck with me in this blue TL than I ever did in the black one. Yesterday, on my way home from work, minding my business at a light, G37S Sedan with exhaust and lowered takes off hard from the light...I was like, fuck it...I let off when I had enough of a lead that he actually slowed the hell down then pretended like he wasn't even racing.

Today, a BMW 1 something something (he was devadged) with black plastidipped wheels, straight pipe exhaust and manual transmission started fucking with me but the way he pulled up behind me, I could tell he would drive like a fucking asshole and there was no clear opening so I didn't play along...he took off once he got a chance though and I'm confident I would have waxed his finely waxed and bleached anus as well.

I am now wondering if I should have kept PCD instead of high flow cats...I definitely lost a little up top...and knowing the car made 303 up north...well, it's probably all in my head and at least it doesn't sound like ass turd now due to lack of rasp.

2 door or 4 door hatch? I'd say it's more likely you would have gotten destroyed. Lol

Even if a it was a 1xx or a X1...if it was modded...that probably means turbo 6. Manual on top of the mods likely means tuned.

You made the right choice. Lol

huh? It's a coupe. 128 or 135, he means. Who would race an X1?


He would have been destroyed by the 135. 200 pounds lighter, more torque and more HPs out of the factory. If it was a 128, he'd likely destroy it.

He said 1something blah blah. Which isn't specific enough for me to pass judgement.

He'd get destroyed by any flavor of any "1" in the BMW line with either a N54 or N55.

Guys tuned with modded downpipes run low 12's in X1's. Ever driven one? Doubt it.

well.. destroy is a big word... I think it'd be fairly close, but I think the 135 would have the slight edge. The Type S has the edge on the 128.

Yes, but I'm saying, who would bother racing an SUV, lol? If some guy came up to me, revving his X1, I'd laugh and go on my way, minding my own business, regardless if he's pushing 400hp, or not.


and he said 1 something... not X something

So excited to build my deck, starting tomorrow. Piles are in. Lumber is on site. Just gotta buy all my joist hangers, brackets and screws. I feel like a kid in a candy store when I know I get to bust my saw out

.....

If counting time slip differences in full second(s) is considered getting destroyed I agree.

Edit: Back to being a dick. I'll quit before I start rolling.

Both are professional racecar drivers. The guy with the plastidipped wheels and the one with a TL fetish.

We almost took over our friends lease on her X1 a couple months ago before she moved to SC. Loved that car but hated how you sit in it. You're way too upright and proper. Even though it's more hatch/crossover than "SUV" it really makes you feel like you're driving a truck.

Edit: Slammed that car could be pretty hot...

The guy I bought my Miata from- his wife drives an X1. I hate that car


It doesn't have the nice lines like most other Bimmers. Like you said, you sit tall in it, which I absolutely hate. And it's their entry level "SUV", even if it does come with a turbo 6, so you know they leave a lot off the table that higher models have. Also seems kind of like an overpriced, useless wagon. It's not even that big.


His wife does have a nice color though.. kind of like a sunburnt orange color. That's about all the good I have to say about it Don't mind me. I'm just a hatter.

Well it drives and handles like a dream. Lines are the same as a 1 series plus a hatch pretty much. It is small and it is in a weird class tho. Regardless I'd race one why not other than knowing I won't even come close

I sold it to temporarily free some money up. Will be buying something faster/nicer in a year or two.

Truth be told, I liked the styling of the miata interior, but the materials were garbage. Lots of hard plastic that would scuff easy. I guess it's good for being in a drop top car- easy to clean. But once you knick it, you're like "Fuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!"
