April 7, 20187 yr This is a 2004 Murcielago. I didn’t realize these things had build quality that was this poor.

April 9, 20187 yr porsche 919 is pretty fast: Porsche is taking the 919 Hybrid on tour, but the plan is to do more than just show it off to the fans—it's going for records. The first of these has already fallen. On Sunday, April 9, Neel Jani set a new track record at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, home to that country's annual F1 race. Jani lapped the 4.4-mile (7km) track in 1 minute 41.770 seconds, 12 seconds faster than the 919 Hybrid's previous best time at the track. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/04/faster-than-an-f1-car-porsche-is-breaking-records-with-the-919-hybrid/
April 11, 20187 yr New focus wagon, probably not headed to these shores, but would be kinda amazeballs as an RS:

They give you 3 km's of grace, so I was hit for 50 sfr's for 2/3's of a mph over. Reminds me that I still have to pay that one...

I'm trying to unwind the yacht program at the moment, but it may be picking up steam again. I was aiming to get more into cars as they are so much cheaper and easier, but alas, I keep getting sucked back in.

April 15, 20187 yr Went a bit overboard to avoid drilling holes in my front bumper for this damn license plate.
April 15, 20187 yr Why even have a front license? I haven’t had one on any of my cars for 10+ years. Never been a problem. If u do get a dick cop to cite u on it it’s still just a fine, not a moving violation. Front plates completely fuck up the facade of a car. Not a big deal if some piece of shit American car but definitely a no no for upper echelon imports.
April 15, 20187 yr Posted on the old Shag thread that a dick cop gave me a $200 fix it ticket. I've run no plate for two years with no issues prior to that. Wanted a removable option that looked stock so I can go either way.

April 16, 20187 yr Yeah, as ugly as a front plate is, I'm all about minimizing the potential for pretextual stops. Further, you can't very credibly put on the "oh, I didn't know any better" act twice if you're pulled over for speeding while not running a front plate, and I'd rather speed ugly than look good going slow.

April 17, 20187 yr People still put license plates on the front of their cars?I've been stopped for not having one (and...) so, yeah.
April 17, 20187 yr In West Los Angeles, the parking cops have gone from being "parking" enforcers to "no front plate" enforcers. If it's parked on the street, and doesn't have the front plate, they'll write you. It's like a $120 hit, too. Brother-in-law can sign it off, but it's still a pain...

April 18, 20187 yr Color me skeptical, but I have a tough time believing that THAT car belongs in THAT garage.

April 21, 20187 yr Author Cross posting this from the Germany thread since I figured out how to post pics. Got the opportunity to drive a 911 Carrera 4 GTS through the black forest of Germany. When I say this was one of the best experiences of my life, I mean it.

If this is the nmbest experience of your life, I have some hookers you need to meet.
April 22, 20187 yr Didn't see a detailing thread. Which car wax is recommended? I plan to clay bar my white BMW today and would appreciate any suggestions for the finishing wax or polish job.
April 22, 20187 yr When I can find the time (which is never these days) I use synthetic sealants like Zaino Z2 or Clear Seal. Lasts much longer than traditional waxes. Adams also makes some good stuff. Not sure what the best off the shelf product you can get today is though. Probably something from Meguiar's.
April 22, 20187 yr Since we’re on the subject: my black Audi has a few pinhole size scratches/chips on the front that show up white. What’s the best way to remedy? I thought about something low tech like a sharpie or paint pen but curious what other options are. I’ll definitely check into a clear protectant skin for the front of the next car.
