Got out for the Monday night group ride tonight. Pretty good time, felt a bit slow in the A Group.

but I care too much to take it through the scratch tube/auto wash, so one wash every 1-2 months is it. ah, the advantages of buying 12 year old bavarian motivation; its nice enough but pre- un-perfected so I can live that :aintcare: life. I do miss that element of Bimmer ownershit :lolol:

I wash my cars on weekend mornings @ 6 a.m because that's when the shade is. I would hardly call it fun at the level of of repetitiveness that is required. I would say I have it down to an exact science, like doing laundry. Even if I was retired, I would not wash my cars under the glare of the orb....

I think in the I actually wound up plugging it back in as it was better.

I mean, I had to do the same in my 86

I mean no reason a fancy squish squish can’t do dad duty? I’m with you though. Indiana is also pretty flat, I imagine the trails are kinda just ok? Eh a full squish could pull dad duty I guess but it seems silly. The trails closest to me are pretty garbage. You really don't want a full squish on th...

I mean… maybe the electronics control actual mechanical/chemical functions?

My BootMod3 tune on the 328i had a snap, crackle, pop slider that worked nicely.

I need to wash my car sometime

can you even find a last gen below the mid thirties? I don’t think so and they’ve been around close to a decade now I think.

Last gen is low 40s or high 30s unless 6 figure miles
Or salvage title

Fuck that if the new version is only like 15% more.

Those group rides look fun though. I think I’ll hit one or two this week. Raining all day today so probably no MTB for a couple of days.

That’s the challenge. I don’t even have three kids and getting out on the MTB is tough. It’s like 1.5+ hours of loading/unloading the car, driving somewhere that cuts into time I could just be riding if I roll out of my driveway on the road bike. Totally. I really can't justify ditching the family ...

What’s new in the bike world? All in all I’m really enjoying my electronic Ultegra and can say confidently that carbon wheels are well worth my price of entry. They’re probably the only upgrade I’ve done that just legit made me 5% faster full stop. Plus they look dope. The group ride I do some Satu...

:fuckyeah: Nice job man. Feels good to get some positive recognition. Both my boss bro and VP acknowledged anything could happen with this acquisition but said I’m one of the best talents on the team and they definitely see me as critical to keep on after everything. Not bad overall. Hell yeah dude...

TK, while you’re staying in El Segundo, if you guys want to go out for some nightlife, just down the coast you’ll hit the Hermosa Beach pier. Lots of bars, jam packed every night, generally good vibes. Haven’t been there in a while, but The Underground is right off the pier and has pool, shuffleboa...

I dont hate it.

For the first time? I've seen hundreds... I've even rented two I've logged probably 1K miles in them, they're nice. That 10 year old one though, holy shit it was bad.

If I had to commute and was blowing fat stacks getting to my job I would buy a Prius Prime XSE for $40K, NOT a Model 3. That way when I wanted to drive someplace fun away from my job on the weekend I could actually do so. I think there is part of the Tesla buying population that hates cars, hates i...

Right. Never going to buy a Tesla. Your red Model 3 above with the custom wheels is a major outlier. My weirdo neighbor and his wife across the street appear to be some sort of COVID refugees from El Lay....they have a white model 3. My ride from LAX to home in the back of a newish Model Y getting ...

I actually had some interviews last week and I think would’ve gotten an offer but bowed out. It was for a company called Howard Technology, they’re a value added reseller, it was selling tech products to business/corporate clients. NC is an all new territory for them so it would be quite high risk/h...
