Roads in the tri state area are brutal, due to bad weather and poor/no road repair. Was pulled over once for dodging pot holes, after explaining to officer, he said to stay in lane..

If you want to see P cars and exotics visit the Hamptons in the summer.

I probably see about 5 or 6 cayennes just leaving my development every day.... but they are good trucks.

Never really liked the new Range Rovers but I must admit they do look good here. The P cars seem to fit everywhere. BMW seen a bit out of place.
Can't wait to get back to my babies.
The wife said the gas station attendant commented on how cool my B5 RS4 is. He must be a weirdo.
Back home I seen now the 996 and 997 turbos are approaching price parity.
Is that happening there too?

lower milege 996 tips are prob in the 50-60k range, an equivalent 997 is still prob 30k more

lower mileage 6 speeds are probably pretty close depending on the color/options

Business trips suck!!! On the last leg my brain was chipping out, I couldn't see straight and every muscle and joint was in pain. Slept all day after I got home then have to work double time to get caught up.
Finally managed to start the twins last night. The low mileage car has a tappet tick and cranked longer before firing up. . The high mileage car fired right away with no unusual noises. Guess I'll have to spring for the OEM fuel pump eventually.

Drive Blackie all day yesterday. Felt so good
Pity in traffic it's - 1-2 gear affair.
My globetrotting and stupid work schedule finally caught up to me. Now I have a head cold and seasonal allergies. Which didn't stop me from washing the outside cars and starting up the inside cars. Only the M5 battery was dead.
My nephew's B8 Audi S4 was stolen in Queens. Only would think all the security on these new cars would stop auto theft. What's the word on car theft nowadays?
