Wheels and blacklines done. Radar, trim and arm rest left to do.

Slow Saturday so far. Only waiting for the inevitable avalanche of people that are going to come watch the fight tonight.

I haz indeed. Almost brand new, blue escort passport 9500ix with mirror mount and hard wire kit. It's the last thing I have to remove.

I didn't, not 100% sure yet. I may have something in mind if it's still available next week, but I won't know until then.

What is on your mind? Stick or auto? Still BMW or did you move to another company?!

Isn't your 335i hella fast? Why did you decide to part out?

Auto, different brand likely - something with AWD. Still need to do some more test drives, but at this point I'm heavily leaning towards the new 2013 Ford Fusion Titanium AWD. It was redesigned for this year and it looks awesome, and the interior is actually very sharp. Not 100% at the level of BMW, but it has an awesome instrument cluster (dual lcd screens), huge touch screen nav with bluetooth audio streaming, full leather and gloss black trim. Lot more features than what I have now.

Yes, it's fast. Very fast. I got to enjoy it safely on the track, but decided it was time to move on. There are other things I want to do and it just didn't fit in that picture anymore.

That is a nice car. I really like it. Are you getting the eco-boost engine, the 2.0L turbo or?

Are you still going to hang out in this forum?!

The 2.0 EcoBoost for sure.

Absolutely, a lot of my time was in here anyways - the on-topic sections just get too out of control sometimes. I'd also be glad to help with any DIY questions - I did quite a bit to my car

Nice. So since you are looking @ AWD and auto, no WRX/STi right?

Are you looking at the Audi S4 or A4?

Yea, no WRX for me. Besides, I'm trying to keep myself focused on something I won't mod

I may look at the Audi allroad and Q5, but none of the cars have ever really appealed to me.

skinrock · 12-09-2012, 12:25 AM

I have to admit, the C350 Sport is pretty hot.

My girlfriend has the C350 coupe. It's cool but nothing compared to my 335i (totally biased opinion)

If I get AWD, yea, but it would be a tough choice between that and the Sport model.

I need to see one in person, anyways.
