    Yeah right now I'm sitting at almost 2yrs with my current company and I'm at the point of saying "I'm done" as well. lol

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    Spotted a "MADLION" Electric Blue CT5VBW on the 15 south this morning. Beautiful spec, all badges blacked out.

    Does A Radar Detector Help Anymore?

    I see this daily out here in Cali. I spend 4hrs a day on the road and I swear reporting police in waze causes people to slow down before they even see a car sitting on the side of the road. Everyone will be driving at 80mph (some over) and all of a sudden waze reports police ahead and you see...

    Does A Radar Detector Help Anymore?

    yeah I find myself hitting the "Not There" button a lot on my trips. It seems like people are reporting police that aren't there or they see that they've been flagged and move to another spot but I'm definitely seeing that half the time there aren't any police where people are reporting them.

    What do you do for a living?

    Retired from the Navy after 24yrs as an IT. Now doing Cyber as a contractor for the government It's funny how similar the civilian sector is to the military when it comes to dealing with people in decision making positions. It's like I never left lol.

    Matte on blue BW?

    At the end of the day, you're the one that's going to be looking at your car in your garage/driveway/parking spot so who cares what others think. If you like/love it. Do it. My detailer recommended I go matte on my 911, and I wasn't entirely sold. I stopped by and he dropped a sheet on the...

    Does A Radar Detector Help Anymore?

    Oh I don't doubt that modern radar detectors provide some sort of safety. But modern speed guns don't just point at one singular vehicle either. It would be up to the cop to decide who gets the ticket if you're in a pack of people all going over the speed limit. I'm on the 15 north and south...

    Does A Radar Detector Help Anymore?

    Yeah here in SOCAL, every time I see a cop he has his speed gun up to his face. I see about 3 to 4 cops a day (150 mile/4hr work drive), mostly bike cops. I can't imagine a radar detector would do anything here. It was the same in Hawaii oddly enough. All bike cops and they always had their...

    Considering buying a buyback 5BW - blown motor issues resolved?

    Damn all this hate on the E92's is crazy. I must have lucked out in a major way. I had an E92 M3 that I owned for almost 8yrs. In those 8yrs I had my O2's go at 98k, thermostat at 102k and then the TA's at 108k. I bought the car with 30k miles on it, dropped the ESS VT625 SC in there at 65k...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    I was DD'ing mine 150'ish a day when I had it. The worst part about it was the gas mileage and having to fill up every other day. I was spending close to $1k a month in gas. Would do it again. I LOVED driving my car every day.

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    I am very much into fishing, so a boat may be what comes next. I hear the Carolinas have very good offshore fishing.
