I honestly think ~600 is enough, actually more than enough even for ppl like us.

Me even at 382hp already feel i shouldn't have anymore than 382..... While i do enjoy my RWD fun, but it does get scary sometimes...

My 650 is tuned. Internet says I should be around 550hp at the crank and that is plenty

Cant imagine a tuned M. All going to the rear tire too

It can get pretty squirly if you have traction control turned off and you aren't careful.

You've got Porsche & Audi covered, get yourself an M5 & you'll just need a Merc wagon to have it all.

Old turbochargers, yes. Those have been trouble free.

As of last night, I've put on about 450 miles.

Well, now it seems you've given me a reason to take up smoking for the first time in my life (at age 50); that should end well.

I know better. I once assisted a Receiver in running a smoke shop out here after being appointed by the court. We thought we'd be in charge for 3 months, tops, while the parties hammered out a settlement. It ended up taking 16 months. I learned A LOT about tobacco products and...ahem...water pipes.

Just get an E60, plenty of DIY maintenance to make the B5 seem simple.

I'm kidding. Tim doesn't pay for sex.
He does fuck hookers but just doesn't pay. That's how the hookah ended up in his trunk again.

I can confirm the following:

- I did not try any of the merchandise at the smoke shop I was running.

- I have never paid for sex.

- I would definitely prefer to have the spilled-liquid-in-the-backseat problem, than what I just had to do.

- Todd is a Bear of a man (wink,wink)

So my sister-in-law and cousin both have stay at home husbands. So are they (women) paying for sex?

They pay for it in different ways...
mainly by putting up with our bad attitudes and strong desire for sexual fulfillment long after they don't see us as charming or desirable anymore.
A couple of bucks for them seems fair, honestly.
