    I ran into a guy at the DMV today who owns two M5s. He showed me his 2000 M5 manual, Dinan tuned, and pictures of his '08 M5 with 70k of Dinan goodies. He offered to race. Lol.

    For those holes you need a urethane filler if they bother you that much. Most people don't notice them on the darker colors unless you don't clean the wax out of them. ;)

    DAY-UMMMMMMMMMMMMM..."the Dragon isn't something you do on a whim"???? WTF??? I sure wish someone had told me that when I first ventured down in Oct., '04, in my R50 cvt with a group from MI. OMGGGGG, at the time [late at night thru all those curves to Deal's Gap, and then down Hellbender to Fontana], I swore I would NEVER, EVER go back! I have been coming back every year since then, and twice in 2007!

    Nope...come on down with Dick and Co.! You will NEVER regret it!

    LOL! Get a razor blade ASAP! Then check to see if the nice black wheels are 17"s... If they are, give Sleek Motoring a call, I'm sure he would swap them for a good price.

    Haha. we'll see what I can do for my car by then. But I do want some goodies on it before I go, and I may not have too much spare cash on me. But you might be seeing Sabian and I coming down with 5280 and Dick and them anyway. I'll just make Sabian pay for my gas. :D

    Already took a razor blade to it for about 15 minutes, and nothing. I'm thinking a hair dryer is in order. Or maybe I'll keep it. :idea: No, not really.

    Good idea! I'll cry and moan and tell him how much it would mean to me and how I'm a poor college student and how registration and plates was over FIVE HUNDRED BUCKS :)() maybe he'll do it for free! :lol:

    EDIT: Besides, no self-respecting car modifier would EVER let the stock wheels have the summers, and the gorgeous wheels have the winters. Maybe he'll be so disgraced when he sees it he'll just do it for the sake of the world. Haha.

    EMERGENCY POST!!!

    I need new summer tires, ASAP, if not sooner. I have to drive up to Denver tomorrow, and mt summer tires are apparently about to blow up. Joseph at Sleek Motoring can fit me in tomorrow, but I need to know the best tire value. I just want some performance summer tires that won't cost a ton and will last me as long as possible. I like chunky tires if possible (wide tires and thick sidewalls). I'm currently running 205/45/17. What's my best bet, gentleman??

    EDIT Joseph says Bridgestone Pole Positions are my best bet.

    I like to keep all my threads on the same update level, because OCD.

    Today I finally got the "Roller Denver Dolls" sticker off of my rear window. My car instantly gained 20 hp and a deeper exhaust note.
    Also, I might go in and get the One-Ball mod on Joni, since Joe offered to do it dirt cheap. :cornut:
    It's not my end-goal for the exhaust, but I'm dying for more volume from the rear...

    I'll go ahead and start a project thread since I have a few more questions about performance crap, but don't expect Joni to be a lighting quick build. Hahaha.
