For those who don't know me I have a need for speed .. smokin love


After my last sweet ride .. Mazda RX8 which winds out to 60 in 2nd, just cuz it's a rotary engine, ie no pistons/cylinders to worry about bigsmile

I switched to a Beamer .. smokin not quite as 'fun' to drive but of course impeccable engineering (best luxury car outta Europe) and class from front to rear .. and kicks a** from the line pitchfork



Sooooooooooooo ....

I had Blizzaks LM60s on for winter, cuz you go nowhere except your garage in a rear wheel car on snow .. yep yep ..

BUT ..

had to switch them out for Summer Max Performance Tires ..

I got the most amazing (especially for the $$) tires that have dozens of reviews by track drivers of BMW, Vettes & Mazdas ..

I love LOVE love LOVE love LOVE Tires .. research a lot .. these were rated by Car & Driver as 2nd only to Michelin PS2's

It's the Hankook Ventus v12 evo K110 ...



Sticky tires .. holds the corners goin 140 .. never hydroplanes becuz of the design .. smokin



CAN I TELL YOU I AM PSYCHED !!!!!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:





so ya .. you have a sweet ride you wanna brag on ..



smokin BRING IT smokin

Well see .. everyone has to find their ride of choice and enjoy!! We rented one of yours a couple years ago as a 2nd vehicle for vacation but it couldn't keep up with my RX8.

rofl rofl rofl rofl



I think my need for speed is related more to the POWER of the engine .. I like to jump off the line pitchfork

Best place for me to see the other cars on the road .. is in my rearview mirror pitchfork :thumbsup:

Fade - Been thinking of getting an RX-8 but couldn't find anyone that had owned one? Any problems with it? If so, any problems getting someone to work on that rotary engine?

Let me know...I'm still trying to decide on what I want...

Thanks Fade!

LOVED my car. ONLY problem was it had a recall issue with the engine in certain years.

But this car is sweeeeeeeeet and never a day went by that I didn't get a compliment or comment on it. Seriously.

Cool! Thanks! I am still trying to decide what I want to get but have always loved the RX-8's...just wasn't too sure on that rotary engine thing...especially since I will be buying used.

Have a great day!

WHOA! Nice car! I love BMW, a gf from school has one and it's awesome to drive in.

I literally passed my road test this morning so I'm new to cruising solo, but I love every second of it bigsmile

This is my current ride (aka, Dad's car)


But this is the dream love (Mine won't have a spoiler because I hate them laugh )

Actually I bought mine as a demo. The kids loved it until they got sick of having to climb in. It's only a 2 door. tears

There are a lot of sweeeeet Subarus out there that are faaaaaaaaaaast. But they still can't shut down a Beamer. At least not mine HA HA

OH YA :banana:


I think I'm more into the power side than the speed even. I don't wanna risk my life when I have children. Obviously not in the car, but I mean to raise yanno?

But I loooooooooooooove pullin off the line and leavin everyone in the dust. Damn it all ... it just feeeeeeeeeeeeeels good.

love smokin pitchfork
