Many of us bay area folks bought from south city in Colma for MSRP, but I gather ownership/management has changed and things are different. Too bad, they were starting to move a lot of metal.

That is an impressive Laguna lap time @PrimeTime, even if you did exceed track limits a few times 🤪 I've only been at Laguna on two wheels, and while my lap times are a bit faster, not lifting on T1 (right about where the bridge is for folks not familiar with the track) on a bike took a LOT of...

The Alpha chassis is so rigid it will usually lift one of the rear wheels when you approach your driveway apron at an angle, particularly if the angles are acute like you can get with older streets or one that has been paved a bunch of times. Naturally the wheel in the air momentarily upsets...

The discussion of motorcycle safety usually elicits a lot of hyperbole, I've dealt with it for over 40 years. I'm not here to argue with statistics and suggest that bikes are just as safe as a car, but on an individual basis, an experienced and well trained rider can significantly reduce the...

I don't fault an EMT/Medical professional for holding negative views of motorcycles just like I don't fault a LEO for having a skewed view of society, its just a distortion of the larger world. A good, attentive rider can mitigate most of the risk, but a rare few can manage all that and still...

Ah man, you missed the joke! Must be all the BMW interior outgassing that clouded your thinking 🤪

In my house, actually when my future wife and I were dating, I smacked down Valentines day early on. Dropping a few random signs of affection throughout the year is way more meaningful than indulging in all that contrived nonsense in February. At the risk of changing my screen name to...

I don't have any technical design training, but to my the refreshed front is softer and less aggressive and maybe a better match for the rear. Frankly, the 5BW in either form isn't nearly as attractive as the 3rd gen, so it's not like they took something beautiful and ruined it, in my...

The BW is already every bit of a track car that it can be without that outrageously expensive kit. If you want to make a future unicorn, then go for it, but adding aftermarket rear toe links to get proper camber is really all you need from that kit for semi-serious track duty. The 5BW is far...

The rear face is their attempt at empathy for everyone that get's passed on the track.

I'm probably 10+ years away from retiring, but I love what I do. I'm in sales for a manufacturers rep and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. Time is the most valuable commodity we have and when your job has good pay and flexibility, its a magical combination that deemphasizes my desire...

Maybe the previous owner operated the car is cold temps, below 40*.

I have two teen drivers that operate some higher mileage cars and I'm determined to never pay that shop fee. It's keeping my busy, but I'm adding to my tool collection and tackling new challenges, so good all around. I should have started logging how many shop hours I've saved over the last 25...

The sim racing interior really speaks to the target market for the Mustang. Between the new car market offerings and overall AWESOMENESS if the 5, I've completely lost interest in changing cars.

Ha, its the inverse of "is it available?" inquiries when you're trying to sell something on CL or FB Marketplace.

Ah, I thought the whole package became unavailable. Cheers

@hawk02 You may know this, but the CF2 package deletes the parking package. The parking package includes the handsfree decklid release (swing your foot under the trunk) and the rear diffuser does not have a provision for this sensor. If the nauseating rear view mirror is your only...

My wife was going to go, but when we learned I was not getting on campus housing, she punched out (and it was definitely the right choice). I know my wife and know that she would have been bored to death attending the classes and hates fast driving as a passenger. However, I stayed extra time...

Way to go @5VBW Nick, that is a very special rig you have there. It's a good lesson in being actively patient: Keep seeking the open door vs kicking in the closed one.
