Well I was going to take the 4 BW out on Friday (just for errands) but after nearly a month of sitting and not being driven it was totally dead. (though I had encouraged both my wife and son who was home to drive it they failed to). So I got it jumped today and took it out for an extended drive...

I get it - my Audi was a nightmare - J was always wondering what was going to go next and I frequently got stranded and needed a tow for one thing or another. Our 2004 BMW with about 120K miles has been practically maintenance free (aside from a very occasional problem like a window regulator...

Never owned a 911...but do own and drive a 4BW and a 2004 BMW ZHP - both MT 6 speeds. We picked the ZHP up in Germany new and drove it 1200 miles before shipping it back to the states. I've always said it was the perfect car - balanced, quick, super engaging to drive. In many ways its one of the...

Thanks - well I've been through this before - 24 years ago - even more touch and go...with this surgery due to complications from the last one. During my 1st abdominal surgery - 911 occurred with planes crashing out of the sky....during this one a plane went down in the Potomac River (basically...

Well the good news is that I am alive and can look out my front window and see the car in the driveway. The bad news is that I haven't driven the car in nearly a month (and do hope it will start when i do). I was supposed to drive it to the grocery store yesterday....but ended up being hauled...

The old B5 S4 Audi (with Vredstein Wintracs) was unstoppable in snow/ice. I frequently just motored up snowy/icy hills past numerous stuck or struggling SUVs with all grip - no traction control even engaging.

It was maybe 15 years ago when in San Juan Puerto Rico visiting one of my wife's best friends and her husband when I had this experience driving his 850+ hp MK IV Supra back and forth across San Juan late at night. It still is the fastest car I've ever driven and he cajoled me to push it and...

Back in the 1980s in Hollywood I was on my bicycle at on intersection and took off when the light turned green. I had to go down to avoid being hit by this car running the red....I look up and see another car running the red right behind him - an LA cop....both cops in the car turned their heads...

GM/Cadillac really need to be commended for building and offering these cars. And for the whole V line really for the last 20+ years. The cars are purpose built with attention to detail that is commendable and speaks to folks like us who value those performance aspects these cars strive for and...

My bungee cord setup always works for securing everything from groceries to home brew kegs and related...

I agree....though I've never driven the 5....I think I get it. However, I'm tempted, just for arguments sake, to claim and make a case for the 4 being a "better" car. Though I agree with ac2024 that would be a silly argument. What constitutes "better" anyway? Is faster always better? Are the...

I feel your pain. I was concerned with EMP threats back in the day which often elicited similar response. And while I was not a Cyber guy by any means I wrote some very specific Cyber protection requirements very early on (1990s) that probably led to (perhaps) billions in spending over the last...

Like Tuna I'm a retired Fed - in my case 34 1/2 years mostly as a DOD civilian and I retired over 10 years ago at 53. For the last 20-25 years of employment I worked primarily in direct support of the J-3 (operations) doing operational assessments (think wargames) and certification (of 3 & 4...

Agreed. You may want to look into the larger MAF option from Tapout as well as their (or other) ported throttle bodys. Without a tune they claim 70+ HP gain to the wheels and I have to say from experience it delivers. Its enough to keep me satisfied for a while...and like you said....down the...

I think that the sales numbers are in the same ballpark - roughly 2K of each (more or less) each year)/ The fact that the 4 is less expensive makes it more available to some regardless of the extra panache of the 5. I don't dispute the fact that the 5 is more special...that it is special in a...

I too had most all the above (Hotchkis etc)....but ran an AWE exhaust (which was sweet....in a gnarly way). Other B5 S4 owners I let drive my car were always impressed how tight it was....and enjoyed the power. Mine sounded great. but have to admit I'd come across a few others sounding even...

I often joke that I could sell a few of my magic card and buy a boat.

Super nice RS6! I also had a KW suspension setup on my Audi...that combined with stiffer rollbars and some bracing and other mods really made it a handling beast. One October in the rain I was absolutely the fasted car on the dragon for several runs (with video to prove it!) I could out gun and...

Well ernsteeng you certainly have had more experience with the Fusion than I have had. I always enjoyed them as rentals and thought that Ford finally approached the Japanese in making a nice driving smaller car. I also knew someone who owned and liked the car. Bit your experience certainly...

Professional grading cards is quite expensive and probably only worth it if you think you might have some that are really valuable. I've never done it though and like you would be open to learning more. While I have a bunch of baseball cards (doubt any are super valuable)....what I do have is...
