Yeah,...I'm gonna have to revisit the intended purpose of the build though.
Ohh don't get me wrong,......I'm not discounting the cool factor one single bit.That's cool brother, but don't go comparing apples to oranges here.
Your monster has a cool about it that no fckin' BMW will EVER match. Lap times are one thing there buddy, but cool is a whole 'nother thin!
I stumbled on the Genius position,....It was just there, and I was lucky enough to be in the same place at the same time.
I gave up being a stunt double a long time ago,.....Tell Doby she better talk to Tom Cruise and learn how to do her own damn stuff.
I would go to Tom, but he's just too itty bitty for a man's car!
Among other issues...
I would never tell you that the pretty lady wouldn't be expensive at times, but who regrets spending money on someone that can be so enjoyable? I would look at it as an investment, like a car cover or a nice garage.This is very true, however choosing a woman I think can be a lot like buying a car... They don't always behave after purchase.... Some turn out to be higher maintenance.
Come on Mike, the added difficulty just makes it more fun. I'll head down there and we can take the fox and monster out to the track and be terrible together. [emoji6]Yeah,...I'm gonna have to revisit the intended purpose of the build though.
Before BMW, the car was built to maybe see light road course/X cross duty, with an emphasis on being a street driver.
After BMW, I'm completely hooked on the track, and Barber raceway is literally right down the street. (The same track that sees the Porsche driving experience, and one of the first legs of the Indycar series)
The adrenaline rush was constant,...Unlike the 10-12 seconds you get a quarter mile at a time when drag racing, this stuff lasted for minutes at a time.
But,.....
I know that the technology that kept all of those big power cars I drove on the track isn't on the Monster. Things like traction control, stability control, and ABS made track heroes out of everybody. You simply could not lose control of those cars. And being able to keep the car on the track was why it was so freakin fun.
W/o those technologies In the same circumstances,....the Monster and I would've been in big trouble numerous times....
Oversteer/Understeer like mad, Pushing the tires, Brake fade, Inadequate stopping power, Locked front tires, Broken parts, or worse..... Wrecked.
No said the finger.
Not after what it took to build this thing.
So,....like it's owner,......The Monster has to get kicked down a notch.
The monster is gonna be like the horse that you ride to get to the one you ride to race on.
The BMW I lease next year will be the one I ride to race on. (Cause I gotta drive #1's Jeep for free till he gets back from Korea.) The wife has decreed that to be law, I can certainly comply.
That means that there is a 500.00 lease payment, (my discount rate) and a car with an "M" in it's model and 360 HP out there waiting on me.
And with the exception of needing to buy a set of track wheels and tires for that car, There is no other car that I could do that with, and still maintain a full warranty and free maintenance for the duration of the lease.
This is the 2016 M2.
365 HP I-6, $51,000......CFW.
This is very true, however choosing a woman I think can be a lot like buying a car... They don't always behave after purchase.... Some turn out to be higher maintenance.
Yes, but it sooo much fun to derail a conversation at times....
I think that a lease option should be there.This is very true, however choosing a woman I think can be a lot like buying a car... They don't always behave after purchase.... Some turn out to be higher maintenance.
