That was just 6-8 weeks of non-washing.
Along with not having a Rolex that coordinates with your M car, that's another reason you can never join Bimmerpost.

Bruh you can buy those at Costco. Your exclusivity is sadly lacking.

I have driven on the PSS on the C6 in the low 40's. They don't crack or anything extreme like that but at cold temperatures at WOT in second the car will start to get out of shape, which does not occur at 80+
Low 30s for me, I can't floor the car, 0-30, but I mean that's common sense. Just like in the rain you can't floor it... or in an ice storm... floring is just :fullretard: or "fun" if done right.
Today the 911 was reporting down to 28 degrees on my commute. Have to drive fast to keep the tire temp up. :P

The amount of radiators in my car is :fullretard: there is one parallel to the ground, one on the left and one on the right opening (left opening pictured) Looks like it is getting chipped by rocks also :aintcare:

Time flies ! It has officially been 1 year with the Kamry for me.
So far:
12 Months ownershit
15,000 miles driven,
6000 miles left
21mpg
1 set of tires replaced
1 issue (pebbles stuck in the rear heatshields)
0 oil burning issues
$0 spent on maintenance (outside of tires)
$0 Other issues with the care
I am going to miss this car greatly.

I am slowly starting to finalize my next steps when it comes to cars etc, there really isn't much time left at all.

New jlur or jlu bare bones
Used golf r
Used fuckus rs
Used Yas marina blue F80
Or something cheap which can’t be too old.

I also need to consider the model 3, I spend $200 a month on gas, that's essentially almost 30% of my payment. It would go down to $30-40 a month if I drove a model 3. It would be relatively scary however if Tesla folded... it would be a fun experience to own an all electric car as it would provide a completely different ownership/driving experience.

One is twice as much as the other.

Obviously, money is not the only driving factor here. I am having a tough time alining my "want" with the cost. I do like the JLUR substantially more than a JLU(S) but 12k in options is just absurd.

Don't forget the $1295 roof + $495 keyless entry +$995 Lights since the base lights are rated as "poor" by the NHTSA.

So you're at 6k in options making it into a car worthy of being sold in 2019.

Or a m3 since you knew you couldn’t commit to a p car for that long, and having the utility of 4 doors is epic. Are we that different :mindblown:
