More like valet driver getting to excited revving the Lamborghini and not realizing it was in 1st gear.

srika

hehe. followed the story on that yesterday.

Nothing official...just a rendering of what Novitec would do with the Poopdick when they get their hands on it.

Yumcha

I'd prefer it in red, Novitec.

Costco

the fawk?

That's the first I've heard of an issue like that. Is the sensor not replaceable?

Costco

barf colored, Poopdick name, etc.

still would.

srika

I guess it's more serious than it sounds - the sensor sends a fault code and when it does, it renders the even-numbered gears useless.

ttribe

This. The whole transmission for one sensor?

srika

friend's Z06, he moved here from TX recently.

srika

uh, ouch.

Car meets are so weird for me these days. There will be like super nice cars there that I will just ignore. And then later on I'm thinking, I should have stopped and paid some attention to that car.

charliemike

It's probably like jackin' it to regular porn ... You're just seeing it too much and the novelty wears off. Soon you're going to be going to meets to see riced out Civics and VIP'd LS400s because that's the only way you feel alive anymore ...

srika

It's weird, like, I only seek to drive the cars now. Just looking at them, eh, it doesn't do much. Even taking photos has lost much of its allure. I think I might be a bit sad about that. Not sure.

charliemike

It happens. You could take a break for a while ... Might help bring the novelty back.

Saw my first M235i last night. Dude got on it from a stoplight to cross three lanes in front of everyone. The car doesn't sound particularly awesome stock but it sure as hell is quick. I'm pretty sure I'm putting down close to 280hp and I don't think I could have kept up with him. FWD < RWD obviously.

Aman

And what would be the porn equivalent to that?

srika

yeah what did you have in mind charliemike?

charliemike

Midget tranny auto-erotic asphyxiation ... Dur.

Chris Harris traded his 612 Scaglietti for a FF and loves it and doesn't care what Yummy thinks.

That's what killed David Carradine.

A girl I know was telling me about her new Infiniti Q60 coupe. I looked outside and saw that it is basically the G37 coupe renamed for this model year?

Why did they bother changing the name? Wouldn't it make more sense to wait until the new body style drops?

I understand they changed the sedan to the Q50, but it was at least in line with a styling change. Changing it on the coupe just seems strange...

Yumcha

No clue why Nissan decided to rebrand/rebadge their fleet.

They should have just called the Q50 a mazda 6 and be done with it.

You dodged!

HA!

charliemike

I know

I didn't feel like racing him because I didn't know he was going to do that and it's a public road. From watching him take off I do feel like the 135i was quicker. I had a guy in a 135i take off around me when I was in my S4 and it surprised me how quick that car is/was.

Costco

I do miss the torque sometimes.

Today I was grabbing some things for lunch, and while in the left turn-only lane, a guy in a bad ass sounding Mustang got right on my bumper... then I took the turn at 40 while he had to slow down

I couldn't help but think I would have smoked him in the Camaro... sigh

You will love the feeling when you can hang with cars that are twice more expensive than BRZ is at the track.

It's amazing how the car fking drives.

Costco

But really though, I'm too old for that shit now (street racing). I still know people who go to the runs and race for money... no thanks.

This car is going to get me in trouble though. At first I didn't like the tires as they get loose too easily when on throttle in a corner... but just like the traction control-less Z28, I'm learning more precise throttle control. It is much easier to catch mid-powerslide and a lot less scary. I'll have a few track or autocross sessions on these tires before I get better rubber.

I think everyone should own a sporty RWD car at one point or another.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Yeah man. I told you it was pretty fun at the track with the stock tires. It was really cool to see how the car reacts in various situations.

My friends who have been tracking for so long said that I'm very lucky to learn how to drive with this car since it is unbelievably balanced from the factory.

Yumcha

Better than an M3...?

oonowindoo

you are never going to let that go, are you?

speedemon90

you guys are on to much during work hours lol

ttribe

Nope. Me, neither.

srika

fixed...

I enjoy seafood, okay? Gosh.

What else are you supposed to do at work?
