My son laser-etched a Yeti for me...

To your point, it may not have failed due to the winter-spring cycle. Yet, it was not an alignment issue. Please let me explain... The replacements had over 10k when I sold the car, and they were perfect. I am confident that they peeled apart in that one trip because I had just pre-inspected...

Example of a failed tire... Drove a Mini as a spare run-around through the winter with summer-only's on it. All was fine until the first highway trip in the spring. The tire literally wore out in 100 miles. The photo may look like an alignment issue, yet it was not (I verified it and had the...

I like talking about cars. And retirement. My 5BW was bought to be a daily. Then, I started liking it too much and found the excuse of no all-season tires. Now I bought a beater RAM for inclement weather, making the 5BW a great second car. Actually third since the spouse's X3 is daily. As...

If she wants to drive, ~$3,500.

Sign her up! She'll earn respect for the 5BW (over that x3m)! Seriously, she ended up loving the class. Her second place in the autocross solidified "happy wife, happy life". Otherwise, there were a number of spouses that were there, yet didn't attend. All seemed to have enjoyed themselves...

Please don't shoot the messenger... COOPER ZEON RS3-G1

Last stop of the Hot Rod Power Tour. Great to meet a few other BW folks along the way.

Received the response from LexisNexis... They removed all of the telematics data! The reason listed was "...data being reported was unverifiable". A link and password was included for a new report. On there, section 10 telematics was completely empty (yahoo!).

At the Detroit Grand Prix. Thank you to Cadillac Racing for the awesome parking spot.

Awesome. See you there!

I can’t say either way, yet it took four months to get to new dates that accommodated. IMHO, I recommend staying in contact. The way that the math seems to work, there is going to be a line (~4 classes per month, 18 students per class, >3,000 BW’s sold per year)

Persistence paid off… after contacting SM every two weeks since January, they returned my call this week and we are booked for Sept 13/14.
