it was my first and last time, end of story. just nothing else better to do on a sat night.

anyways.

after beating the shit out of the car tonight (bad idea on my retarded compression), everytime I let off the throttle to shift, the revs jump up 1000rpm.

actually if i gas it at all and just release the throttle, the revs jump up before dropping down... something wrong with my throttle body?

I've been looking around online at Supras, trying to guage pricing and availability, etc. and I came across this gem:
CLICKY!

2 days left and already at $51,600. That's a pretty unbelievably quick car! Look at the power "curve" in the dyno videos, it's more like a cliff hah. That is also a freaking ginormous turbo hock:

Despite my distaste for all the newer BMWs, Ive always liked the Z4 for some reason, not sure why. Maybe it was the slick ads and Clive Owen BMW flick when the car came out.
And the coupe version looks even hotter

Since Chris is coming in tonight we thought of maybe doing a scenic drive tonight at 6. Anyone interested in driving or riding along?

There are at least 4 other motorcycles in Pheasant Run this year (in addition to mine). Last week, we were notified by e-mail that we had until the 22nd to get our bikes off of the property. This, after being told by Pheasant Run upon move in that it wasn't a problem to have our bikes on the site. Anyone else live in P. Run that has a bike? We're trying to work out a deal with M'gmt to alot a couple spots for our bikes, we'll see how it goes. Just wanted to let you guys know in case you live in or know someone that does live in P. Run. There are a couple bikes we can't find the owners to. Thanks.

I've been waiting for a sport bike since I was crawling........ I'll be damned.

For those of you that follow AMA, Kawasaki and Yamaha have been conspicuously absent from Superbike for awhile now. Its good to see them finally step up to the plate. Its also great to see that both Haydens get to move up

I am probably going to drive to Arlington on Saturday to look at a 328is for my brother and possibly test drive a supercharged e36 m3 as well. Anyone interested in riding along?
