Yeah. Why even do anything myself anymore?
As long as you stay at Hedrick, you could do a million mile S4! Probably the first and only in history.

The build quality on any E Class is going to be a world away from a BMW 3/4 Series. They are just better cars. But the Bimmmer has been great so far. At then end of the month I will do a major service on it. The way the doors shut on the silver bullet was divine. Vault. Bmws sound like disgusting t...

Speaking of TOTD, there is a back of the dragon road, which is near the Tennessee and WV border in VA. Next weekend :tits: and I are going there cause her mom is graduating nursing school. Turns out it's only 20 miles away, I think with Accord is doable. It's got fresh 245 tires. Roads like that ar...

:notwrong: I never really fit in with the University of Miami marching band people, though. I remember on that trip after playing in the parade. I just walked around Disney by myself, and it was one of the most depressing experiences of my life. The first couple of months in college, not knowing an...

It’s interesting because it’s just kind of in the middle of a residential area in Anaheim whereas the FL one was built on an endless swamp hence why it has so many more parks and whatnot.

Yeah, but not too comfortably. It's a bit better than an NA/NB/ND. IIRC my hair just brushes the roof slightly. I do miss convertible life but as far as the lightweight shit goes, the 86 is just so much more comfy and usable for me at 6'1" mostly torso, plus can fit some shit and/or my dog. I ...

Wireless CarPlay kind of blows ass in general, I've used it in many rentals from different manufacturers and plugging in is just better at this time. My accord is weird on that. Mine is the wireless and sometimes I put my phone on charger, but half the time when I take the charger off, the CarPlay ...

The basic bitch parks like that that are just roller coasters are alright. We have Carowinds here, lines are like +/- 30 minutes and passes are maybe $50.

I washed my car by hand yesterday. Rain today-Tuesday or I would this weekend. Next weekend looks good for a wash though. See how the weather looks the week after that to see if it’s worth spending the time or not. Mine was covered in pollen and there's no rain for about a week, so I figured it's a...

Man the employee discount saved my ass on the S4. Diag, new master, new slave, new lines, and oil change for $700 all in. Non employee oil change pricing alone is $345.

Bolded is the big thing. If I can do the riding I want without touching my car, yes please. In an ideal world, my car would only be for pleasure drives, I want to commute where I need by bike and ride bikes for fun without getting my car dirty or burning fuel/time not riding. I haven't done a grave...

Gravel bikes make me scratch my head a bit. They seem to me like they just aren't particularly good at anything. They aren't quick on the road if they have actual gravel tires, but then they aren't capable enough on true singletrack to make much sense there. If it's just rough roads you're trying t...

I still really want a gravel bike but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger as I don't know how much use I'll really get. The main thing would be there's some really fun/fast MTB trails down in SC I can get to from my house almost entirely by paved greenway. It's about 12 miles each way, so it's a slog ...
