I don't think there's another car built exactly the way mine was which is neat, at least in the US. Metallic white on black has always been my fave.

I have to admit I do like the M marked calipers, especially on the optional High Performance Tire and Cooling package I got. Fuck me if I'm gonna drive on lousy run flats. Has a larger front rotor and caliper and blended with the jet black wheels is a look I really like.

Funny about the IS. Don't you love handing out the beatings to unsuspecting fools? Speaking of which, I see tons of people driving them and they have badges in tact including the 250 and they always want to race it seems, whether I'm in my Audi or especially the Bimmer. The only real regret I might have about this car is it attracts a lot of douchebaggery. F'n Corollas and Sentras wanna go even. Give me a g'dam break.

Now I did get the M marked keyfob. Maybe I should wear it around my neck? LOL.
Agree on everything. Love the M calipers!

I too can not wrap my mind around people that drive beaters that want to race a car 20 years newer than theirs. (Built classics are not included in this) I had a guy in a civic try to beat me around a light the other day. When I passed him and looked over at him laughing, he smiled and threw his hands up as if to say, "I had to try."

Lol. At least he gestured to you to admit he had no chance.

Meh, I don’t play those games either. One of my favorite cars was my n20 f30 because of where it started, where it ended and cost to enjoyment ratios. I have multiple m cars at this moment and still don’t care for that elitist mentality. Your car is amazing, if there are those who think differently they can live life elsewhere.

Bravo! Couldn't have said it better myself. What is important is that YOU enjoy the car that you own. Doesn't really matter what others think. Having said that, I don't regret pulling the trigger on this car one bit though I've only had it for less than 1 week. I'm thinking this is probably by far the best overall balanced car I've ever owned and it's not even broken in yet. Astonishingly good at being a civil family type car and then a hooligan when you want it to be. Until now I thought maybe my previous B8.5 S4 was the best overall, but this is on another level completely.

I agree with your assessment.

Think Nike, again.

Nice thing about the M340 is perhaps she won't know the difference? If she's not a car enthusiast, never know. Lol.

I have the older version of this - it is decent but the seal on mine where the filter slides in is going bad so the steam condensates and makes puddles on the tray under the carafe. Guess 3-4 years is probably about the life of most of these appliances although I have had much better luck with my Ninja blender.

My last non-alcohol purchase was some oil and a firepit for the backyard and camping.

That *is* a pretty sweet boat. Might be worth sleeping in the shed. Just sayin'.

And Bedford, NH. No shortage of great places to launch it.

Need to assemble everything and check for leaks. Went w/ the 7000 since the wife needs to replace her car soon and we'll probably end up w/something bigger than what I got.

I have a bunch of MX to do on the X1 and then I'll focus on the Moupe. I'll post pix of the parts stashed in my basement later.

Trek FX 3 Disc. Just for tooling around the local neighborhood and maybe some jaunts on the rail trail.

Awesome...think I've used mine over 5 times last month alone. With the new exhaust, crank hub lock,and other goodies that go on from underneath....thing has been worth its weight in gold. Feel much safer...

I love mine, only issue I had was the hydro fitting on the pump was made wrong. Bought an upgraded one locally.

I thought about just ordering new fittings before getting started. Seems they are common enough initial fail points and I'd hate to start, stop, then finish getting everything together and working.

I'll be happy enough not needing 2 car jacks just to get the Moupe lifted high enough to get the car one jack stands at their lowest height (so neither bumper scraps pavement) only to then use one of the jacks to raise the car ends to get adjust the stands to the height I need them. Ramps are a NOGO and blocks are just as much a pain.

Note: If the run-on sentence was painful to read, I did my job in conveying the 'joy' of the process. lol

At ~100lbs each, I might have a new gripe but at least a different one.
