When i was 13 i swiped the key to the old man's 928S and took to the streets while they slept the night away. Right after i had my own key made for it, he sold the damn thing.

When I sold cars in school, I had a 928 S4 (?) as a demo... I managed to rip the shifter off while doing donuts behind a toys r us.

Cost me $400 out of pocket to replace.

When was the last time you did donuts? Sounds like the theme of a thread...

I do donuts whenever I can (not often). But I still drift around turns every now and then.

As a kid, I watched Knight Rider, Dukes of Hazzard, A-Team. Granted, I was only 5-6 but still remember.

Smokey and the Bandit was the shit.

Love donuts.

My wife hates them.

The weekend i met my wife she busted out some donuts in her full-size bronco when we were leaving a grass/mud parking area. That may have sealed the deal for me. lol

Knight Rider was great..BMW and Tesla still have not caught up to Kit (think that was her name)...I grew up in a small town, so Dukes always felt at home. Those shows were so classic..nothing like that nowadays.

As for donuts..the eating kind...been on a roll lately due to my son wanting to go to the park and pick up some donut holes on the way every few days.

Full size Bronco? Now that's car control!

Yeah and it wasn't like those shit donuts Camren Diaz made in that Aston on Top Gear.

These were very smooth, slow controlled circles with a nice drift out onto a gravel road. You could even hear the revs moving up and down to control the circle diameter. I was smitten before, but pretty much a goner after that. lol

300whp

Whatever you have, more.

[eluded]

Anything over 100 hp is a waste in the daily driver. One must learn patience and love my Prius.

Hold up with that car wash boys.......you can think about it, but don't do it, wouldn't look nice on my highway.....you didn't sound quite so tall on the ray-d-o.

Love that movie!

For Example: i own a 2000 Toyota Camry and i find myself flooring it to get on the freeway every time. Cars are going about 80mph and my 140hp camry is pretty weak. Passing people, merging, etc is a handfull with it as well. Im thinking around 250-300 (crank) is pretty ideal for a daily?

350-400 is plenty good for a DD weighing 3500lbs, also need a good torque curve to go with the power.

I'm thinking about going back to a v6 camry for daily- just enough power to pass civics, saves a ton more gas, fly's under the radar and i don't need to worry much about crappy roads, speed bumps, and steep driveways.

Sounds like a pretty stock car. Myz has power trix coilovers and spl suspension and has no issue with transitions over bumpers. Speaks were swapped about for diamond audio d3 components. It's gett petty has mileage the. My supercharged m3 lol.

Wife daily drives a c63 amg

My dd is the m3

Changing spark plugs on a s65 takes longer than doing them ons 300zx lol

Forgot what springs it has, but it has tokico shocks so not really a matched setup. Poly bushings all around too with wilwood bbk to stop it all. Maybe because the M3 can be both refined and fun at the same time spoiled me.

Do Benzes still use like 2 plugs PER cylinder?

My CLK55 used 16 plugs. It was ridiculous. Pain in the dick.

No thank god, but the rear two cylinders are still a pain.
