That was my daily commute to the shop for 3 years btw. Got to love Mexico

Shiv

So this is your route I take it?

No way, he's only a half a dozen miles from the west coast and about another 50-100 miles more north

This kit progression is why I kept my car. I was about to go back to American power. A lot of powerful corevettes and stangs around my parts.

I'm glad Shiv stated the importance of getting an alignment before having backcountry fun.

Shiv has taught me a lot of things; how to double-clutch and talk to the ladies being among the finer lessons. There is one thing i have taught him...never ever drive around corners moderately fast when your alignment is messed up, you might just flip your BMW. Now that my E46 M3 is deadso, I am going to buy a 335i and attempt to flip that too, with 700 horsepower I'm fairly certain i'll be able to refine my skills so it lands wheel-side up.

Shiv, I've found a 2009 E92 335i M/T in Hong Kong. Can you put one of those big turbos in a suitcase and get your brahminess here? I'll give you flipping lessons, but i'm not sure i'll be able to do it properly without the alignment being messed up.
