vin jokes...but it is actually a good point: no, not the bowel movement, but reducing your weight. If you're a bit overweight, say by 10 pounds, then dropping that 10 pounds...well, you probably can't tell the difference, but it does help. Drop 20 pounds, though, and I suspect maybe you can start feeling a bit of a difference.

Okay, it probably has to be 50 pounds.


Uh, what was my point?

+1. You need a bomex kit if you have both of these. Make sure you dont paint it with anything but primer, as that would decrease its aero benefits and add weight.

I understand that wheel spinners help in cornering. They reduce gyroscopic effects.

If you wanna spend your time staring at the 335i vs 335xi debate, the latest wheels on someone's car, fuel pumps, or whatever it is that you are here to do, feel free to do so. I got no issues with what you enjoy doing. If a few people wanna have a few laughs for a change of pace, who are you to judge?

Back when Henry Ford started the Ford Motor Company with the Model T, he said...

"You have any color you want as long as it is black."

The reason was black paint dried the quickest and he could build more cars faster.

So if you apply this logic... a black car is the fastest because ...

the assembly/production time is shorter therefore it will go from 0-60 faster than any other color because the other colors will still be drying.

Since photons have mass, if a black car is absorbing them won't it be getting heavier? A heavier car is slower.

White reflects all colors. Much like a cue ball striking a billiard ball photons striking a white car driving away from the sun would give a solar "push" whereas driving towards the sun would get the opposite effect. Therefore, to get the best fuel economy you should live to the east of where you work. That way you get the benefit of the photons in both the morning and the evening unless, of course, you happen to work the night shift.

lol its hot. im tired... i just read this reply to my statement and have no idea what he was talking about. i love it when people reply and you dont know what they're referring to.

your topic was what is the fastest color. i was talking about your carbon in the ass producing diamonds statement, and he replied to my statement saying something about making assumptions with emphasis on ass? if anything he should turn around, grab the keyboard, and slam it on his face a few times and then come back to tell me what he meant.
