  1. Unfortunately both are closed today. We're late on our site visits anyway. Want to get home before 9 tonight.Another time.
  2. any recommendations for Pleasanton/Three Rivers BBQ?
  3. In. Great way to directly impact someone's life. Everyone with the means should contribute. Less than $200 to reach the current goal.
  4. That's actually in front of my sister's house, so it may be her neighbor.
  5. This should go in the holy shit thread.
  6. EVS Motorsports on Bellaire. Full clear bra satin wrap was $5,500. I think a typical colored wrap is significantly less based on some of the quotes I received calling around. I got a quote from 713 Motoring that was $3,500 but when i clarified i wanted a clear wrap it jumped to $8,600. I called the place someone recommended above and they weren't currently doing clear wraps and EVS was who they suggested I use. Talk with Ted or Cornelia. The service was great, they loaned me a Tesla Model 3 for a week at no additional cost and the end result is gorgeous. Plus it's relatively close to Pho Dien. I really don't like driving a Tesla for a variety of reasons but it is fast as shit.
  7. So, they said at the shop they can do a ghost tune which is basically undetectable. I have trouble actually believing that. Anyone have experience with that. Would add about 100hp. Yes, put me in the shitty parking thread but i was staying away from the other car in the spot next to me.
  8. Will get a better picture when it's a little bit lighter outside but it looks fantastic. Very happy with how it turned out.
  9. Satin finish clear bra on the entire car.
  10. Remember watching this vividly. RIP. A true loss to the game. One of my favorite players on tour.
  11. Picking it up tomorrow. Not a great picture but you can see the difference in the satin finish because they haven't finished the bumper which is still the metallic paint. I love how the satin finish highlights the lines and makes them stand out.
  12. Most of the time I have to visit project sites, I'm not getting on a plane. Do steel toes cause issues going through security?
  13. Even allowing for a few years of recovery, that's one hell of a long degree program. Class of 2010.
  14. I think it will be a fast motherfucker.
  15. Saw the Houston Open on the other day. Is that the new schedule permanently or are they going to try to move it back to the Spring? Holy shit it was a bunch of no names. Houston should have a much bigger presence on the tour than that.
  16. Fuck its fun to drive. Even at 80mph it will put your head into the headrest getting to 100+. And I've been taking it easy, not slamming the accelerator to the floor. Breaking it in before I try out launch mode. Not going to go with the tune just yet. Need to race against my boss with his Porsche 911 Turbo (I will lose, but probably not embarrassed) and another co-workers Jaguar F-Type (will be close). Since the engine is the same as the 850i, here's what I've found as far as potential performance upgrades. Pretty significant increase in HP and torque. https://www.motor1.com/news/302694/g-power-bmw-m850i/ https://www.bmwblog.com/2019/04/29/video-br-performance-tune-takes-bmw-m850i-xdrive-to-680-hp/ https://carbuzz.com/news/modified-bmw-m850i-packs-more-power-than-m8-competition
  17. This is why I love the Shag, uh, Surly. They probably end up inside the Amazon boxes that make up most of the recycling.
  18. I'll drop it off for the satin vinyl wrap tomorrow, but couldn't help bringing it home. Definitely a beast but will break it in a little before going full throttle. Will get better pictures too. And yes, we're recycling motherfuckers.
  19. This video is pretty pleasing. The next step is to cut off his balls while he's knocked the fuck out just to make sure he doesn't procreate.
  20. Bluestone Metallic with Black Nappa/Aluminum interior. With the wrap it will be a satin finish.
  21. Supposed to be delivered to the dealership this past weekend but looks it comes in on the 11th. Then several more days to get the tint/satin coat. Pissed because I am going out of town this coming weekend and it really worked out perfect before.
  22. I think the tune is probably already available because it's the same engine as the 850 but I'm going to hold off for now.
