Love that you track your vehicles Mark. Regarding that, did they ever fix the overheating issue on the C7Z, or was that some overblown thing?

My vote for a track car is the Cayman GT4

Sorry to hear about the split.

That GT3 RS and your daily beaters are amazing.
I guess life is still good!

Thanks Maj, shit happens.

Life is what you make of it. Looking ahead and not behind.

Sorry to hear, M.

At least you have plenty of things to keep your mind occupied! I would have made the same choice as you... out of all the BMW models in the lineup, the M2 strikes a chord the most with me, especially in that color.

Sorry about the divorce.

I usually try to rotate the cars so I get to try everything. I've done roughly about 5 track days with it and it far exceeds my abilities.

Pretty strung for daily driving. Bucket seats, ride quality. Meant for California or FL roads to say the least.

to the divorce club...
it is exactly what you make of it. Glad you came out with a clear head and all of your cars.
Same here...

Your lineup makes my head explode...absolutely awesome. Basically same reasoning for me having as many cars as I do...I want to try a LOT of them before I die. Obviously on a budget level in comparison...

Bummer about the divorce, but hurray to all those cars.

Was just in MD last weekend...very quick trip though. Hoping for a longer one this summer.

Great looking rides though you have to keep yourself occupied with. The GT3 RS is amazing looking.

Divorce sucks. Hate to see anyone go through it, but sometimes it works out in the long run (like my parents). Glad they got divorced.

So how is the GTI? All I see are good things, and I test drove one a few years ago (the DCT is pretty quick).

Hey mrmako. Good to see you're still around.
The Golf R has been great so far; I'm itching for tunes to come out for the 2018MY; to see what it runs like with the DSG.

Truth be told, this is my second one so I am biased towards the car...my last car was a Stage 2 R 6-Speed Manual and it was quick.
Low on the radar but gets moving if provoked .

predatorbird had a manual R and opted for a DSG GTI this go around...
I have an A3 manual that I enjoy throwing around for daily/beater duties and I'm SOOO tempted to stage 1 or 2 it but the clutch has 188k on it and I'm not sure it can take it.
