Enjoy your new Audi. Unless one is on the payroll of BMW one shouldn't care what kind of car you buy.

I bought my BMW because it met my needs better than anything else. If something else meets my needs better, I will buy it. I gave BMW a lot of my money and I don't owe BMW anything. Neither do you.

Having said that, I do love my current BMW.

I feel that way when I go from driving the Hellcat to my Miata

When I switch from the Ferrari 328 to the M3 the BMW feels like an SUV - it's YUGE! Just looking at photos you don't realize how tiny the 328 is, and then the M3 feels like a bus to sit in (not drive though).

LOL!

Yeah, a 300 is not taking down a HC any day of the week, unless the HC has a piss poor driver or the 300 is supercharged just like the HC. Even then, I don't know the gearing differences, I'd still probably think it would go to the HC.

But the SRT8 did bring a smile to my face when I drove it.

The last 300SRT8 was a good car, but needs A LOT of mods to beat a stock HC. I had a base 300 as a rental for a week years ago & liked it minus no HP.

Ouch. Sorry dude.

Next time don’t ‘white out’ the plates. How am I supposed to investigate the skeletons in your closet?

I don't want them disturbed until I decide to run for political office. Then they can get some exercise. Till then, sleeping dogs and all.

We think we are going to build a cage next spring actually. With your permission, we'd like to call it a garage though.

I'm getting a tree service out to look at the property, there's a few other dead ones which we probably need to get rid of.

They are some big cars. I did see a new Charger the other day that turned my head pretty quickly. Those cars have come a long way in the "looks" department.

You can use garage to hide cage lol
Those trees are thin but cause serious damage.

If you remove a tree do you need to plant another one?

No, no need to plant another or something. Far as I know I don't need township approval either, or any such nonsense to cut down any tree I'd like, as long as its on my property.

Canada has a plethora of trees. Plus, there's little ones growing all the time around me in the treed sections.
