    Z06 guys are lucky

    I think the LT5 has different internals etc form the LT4 so I don’t think it is just the SC difference. Been awhile since I’ve looked at both, but I seem to remember some significant differences. But yes, agreed the LT6 is a very very different motor from the LT4/LT5...

    Brutal Winter Car

    Was one of them Black Sapphire Metallic at Minnetonka? If so that is my “old M2.” I felt the manual to be very rubbery and one of the worst MT experiences I’ve ever had in a car. GMs 6 speed is a much much better gearbox in every way. It’s pretty clear BMW hasn’t invested in their 6MTs in decades.

    I’ve been told the same by different brands as well. Still have always wanted to go the Kooks route though!

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

    Yup, took years if I remember correctly.

    Radar Detector

    Thankfully it isn’t wide spread in MN. I’ve got a Uniden R8 and it has saved me a few times. Was doing a road trip to Atlanta from MN and it picked up a Kentucky State Trooper very low in a ditch from 2.5 miles away. He was Ka band.

    I legit feel bad for the guy/gal. I haven’t felt that way about a car since my late teens/early twenties. That was when I had .12 cents to my name though and I couldn’t afford a major breakdown. Now with a toy/luxury car that isn’t a need though…….no way I’d let it get me that stressed out. It...

    Geezus, if it worries you that bad sell the thing and move on with your life. No luxury car should keep someone awake at night.

    Was/am very curious about this as well.

    Upcoming 11 hr drive in 5BW through cold and some rain. Thoughts?

    Agreed with the majority, just be easy on the throttle/steering inputs and you’ll be just fine. If it feels funky in the cold rain, just go in the right lane and slow down or take a break if you have the time. I drove a C8 Z06 home from KC to MN last January 31st. Most of it was in high 20s/low...

    Look up just how much we the US taxpayers have spent on the war on drugs since the 70s. It hasn’t stemmed the flow of drugs one iota, just like prohibition didn’t stop people from drinking. Speaking of alcohol, it’s a far bigger problem than fentanyl and other drugs. Yet we Americans have thrown...

    Ah yes the war on drugs and nice logical fallacy there to go with it. Many administrations before have spent billions/maybe trillions and they haven’t put a dent in the amount of drugs in the US over the decades. I’m guessing the people didn’t vote to crash the economy in the effort to stem the...

    Plus plenty of meth/fentanyl etc etc go north into Canada. There are so many methheads in Northern ‘Sota and WI etc it’s crazy.
