With the unexpected lack of rain, I popped over to Auto Vino to see who'd show up today. I met @kl_ct4 with a Watkins Glen CT4BW. Hope to see more of you out there! (3rd Sunday, every month)

Actually, in California, I'm pretty sure transition surgery is covered by insurance ...

I experimented with this a little bit today. Which on rain-wet roads made for a little squirelliness. I suppose there are slow ways to get to high RPM, but I don't need to know about those, do I? In first gear (sport mode) I get the green ring at 4000RPM and yellow ring at 5000. In second gear...

Does the bike go into the trunk with the seats folded down?

Sometimes the parking sensors disappoint me 😬

Happy New Year, everybody! Had a nice drive this morning out to overlook the fog covering the San Andreas Fault (from 35 & 92) ... ... and then out to the ocean (at Moss Beach Distillery)

When I saw this picture that I took, I wasn't sure if it was an artifact of the angle/cellphone lens (vs the Taycan GTS just having a fat butt).

Weather update: may be *ass* today. I'll be keeping an eye on the hourly forecast and will probably go if it doesn't look likely to rain before 1 pm. This event happens on the 3rd Sunday of every month, so if not today, hope to see Bay Area Blackwingers there in '24. Have a great week, everyone!

That's hot

Your grocery store parking looks much more relaxing and scenic than mine! I've been terrified to get groceries since I got the Blackwing (which only annoys the wife more). This is about the best grocery shopping spot I can get:

The his & hers Lambo couple had the best high revving, gear clashing entrance. Hers had a cargo box on the roof, I kid you not.

There's a monthly Cars & Cabernet at AutoVino in San Carlos, 3rd Sunday of the month 1130 am - early afternoon. Cons: there's no coffee, and there are a lot of Lamborghinis. Pros: they have really good pizza, salads, and sandwiches available to purchase (and wine). The next one is this coming...

Maybe they left it in tour mode.

In case anyone is wondering, as I was, what's the impact of matte PPF on the appearance of Maverick Noir Frost paint - here's a look in bright sunlight at the inside of the rear driver's side doorframe where the wrap (XPEL Stealth) ends. Closer-up here:

Thank you! It's Maverick Noir Frost (Sebring IMSA Edition) with XPEL Stealth PPF. Here's one more (in a regular parking spot: my driveway! Don't want to violate the thread intentions!) and I'm going to post a closeup in the Maverick Noir Frost thread showing the (minimal) effect of the PPF in a...

Our veteran who planted the flag here in San Carlos is also a GM guy. Here's his '62 Grand Prix in front of the flag.

Friday light at work, so I got a better space than usual. And we've even got Old Glory there in the background, even here in northern California. There's a story about that flag. When our multi-billion dollar corporation (you can see the brand name back there too) built this $200 million...
