Sometimes it’s not just about the car, but also the human connection to the car. got my wife to take a photo for me.

You can see how much joy it brings me while also wearing the ‘Cars are Pain’ shirt from Donut. Couldn’t be more accurate for people like us.

Love how you wrapped the chrome trim. Did you wrap it yourself or had it professionally done? I’ll have to get the chrome trim on my X5 wrapped too.

I had it done professionally, made a massive visual difference imo.

4/6/24

drove 91 miles to the track, ran a pb of 11.756 in the 1/4, and drove it home without a complaint. oh and the meth wasn’t even on, there was over 1/2 tank of E71 and we can still shed another 150ish lbs. I know micro records are dumb but fastest N55 SUV has a good ring to it 😇.

and I learned I can get this thing to roast all 4 through the top of second if the prep isn’t good 😂.

In other news, custom catback is complete and we serviced the whole drivetrain and added the upgraded front driveshaft from dentprotony@gmail.com.

Strong start to the season.

More info about the #6 car in the background, please.

The shop (Performance Eurowerks) is doing a motor build on it right now for track season prep. I don’t know the motor unfortunately but I know it’s being built to run in NASA and GLTC events.

I think it's an appropriate time to ask for videos.
