Went to the recycling center. "It still has room" I told my wife, as I ordered the car. "Of course I can still run errands and shit just like I did in the M3" My wife enjoys constantly attempting to call my bluff.

The Z suffers from a far worse gap in expectations and reality than the Supra. Ours still suffered from this quite a bit, but I think a 3.8 0-60 and a pretty capable car is not a bad package for what you pay. Sounds great, I like the looks, and I'm a long time BMW owner so I don't mind the...

As a 2008 M3 owner, I still am nervous about my B58, but so far, 8,000 miles in, nothing to report. No oil consumption, etc. Very pleased. My E92 was always in the shop every 2 months like clockwork, valve seals, electronics, needed plugs changed on a fucking crazy schedule, throttle actuators...

The amount of internet articles and videos I've seen saying the Z "should have a 0-60 time in the low 3s" was maddening. I see reality has arrived. Oh well! Waiting for the inevitable "ok but the Z with bolt ons and a tune will be 3.2"

I've been with her for 11 years already so if anything, this is just crossing the last t on my servitude paperwork ?

Hah! I was across the street from Alice's that morning getting married at The Mountain Terrace. Now that that's over, I'd expect me to be at Alice's most weekend mornings. Let me know in advance!

Decorated it!

Today I experienced the full garbage performance of the PSS tires in a light drizzle on the highway - even with full nannies. Certainly wasn't at the speed limit but nowhere high enough that I would have expected to have the rear step out the way it did, TWICE. Totally unacceptable, so I'm...

Depends on how fitted, certainly, but I had no issue. Just watch the corner of the left side of your jacket when you close the door, I've shut mine in there a couple times.

Yeah the other day I had two coffees and was parked substantially uphill and realized the chance of me getting in without spilling it was 0%, put one on the roof and since it's always waxed it immediately started sliding away, grabbed that one, stood there staring at it for a second, bent down...

I'm 6'3" and have absolutely zero problem getting in/out even between other cars in lots, and most of my height is my legs. Other than a brief stint in an e46 325xi, and a Camry in high school, I've driven sports cars only, most of them lowered. I got used to it pretty quick, it's not the...

Honestly, the 92 is the best commute I could have and I live right by Skyline Blvd so I usually drive to Alice's Restaurant every Sat/Sun morning. Since I often go in early and leave late, I can generally blast it on the way home. Followed! I'm @watchthedocket , while I'm a big car guy my...

I live in Half Moon Bay and daily to my firm in Burlingame if you ever see a very yellow Supra around!

Good point. I'd say it was generally about 2-3k in the beginning, then when the valve covers got warped and just constantly shit oil all over the engine bay, probably every 1k (sometimes less). I average it out to about 1500 when I look at my Google Sheet about it (I kept track, I like data)...

I'm normally like "f*ck break in, this is dumb CYA stuff, whatever" but honestly I drive so much for fun that I figured "I can hit this in no time" and honestly, the car is still plenty fast and fun under 4.5k. With my M3, I'd drive about 4-5 hours for fun every weekend. It's probably one of my...

Drove down to LA (where I'm originally from) for a hangout with friends and back this past week. On the way down, hit 1200 miles and proceeded to start redlining it (only took me a week total to hit 1200 ? ). Big difference for the car from 0-4.5k and 4.5k-7k. Relearning the safety and traction...

I may be wrong but I used to be on the track a decent amount and my understanding was the inverse - having a full cage without a full harness is quite dangerous, because a car with a full cage is designed to be used by a driver with a full 6-point and a helmet. It's not too hard to hit your head...

Gave it the beans along the ever wonderful Skyline Blvd with a pair of Vipers and an NSX.

Depends on how you feel about being incredibly obvious. I think black is a bit boring on this car, honestly, it's like getting a Lotus in black. Why bother? To each their own, but when I see a black Ferrari or Lamborghini or Corvette it just depresses me. If you want lines and a crazy body...

Yeah, my E92 burned a quart every 1500 for 155,000 miles. Do the math, I added over 100 quarts to that engine in 13 years. Friend's late model M5 burned a quart every 900, BMW took it apart twice and then told him not to come back anymore and refused any further warranty service on the issue. He...
