Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

Black looks great when it's clean...

^Very nice! There was a OM 4BW support group at your place or something ;)
My wife has an Sport in the same color, I call it the FauxWing. It's got the optional graphite wheels and same wing as my car.
 
Parking next to the track gas station was smart. Got 3.5 mpg on track. View attachment 13175
Edit: Not worth its own post, but this is how the pressures ended up after I got home...trippy.

I've been watching tire pressure and temps for a minute on my 5BW (2 tires front and rear esp.), as I ck with a gauge versus dash and try and balance? What pressures did you track with? How far off are they from your start PSI before track, or now daily driven? Did it settle down and correct itself? All 4 of my tires set to PSI on one guage and the dash gives something different (static or on the road for a while) Couple PSI off, but different, cold and normal. Havent hit hot temps on tires yet or I'm guessing the dash L'sMK? Maybe just need s are re-cal on the sensors?
 
@PrimeTime, I tracked my 5BW last week. As per manual, I lowered the pressure to 28 PSI before track sessions. During lapping session, pressure went to approx. 35 PSI which is good. Came back home and waited until next morning to adjust back to 35 PSI.
 
A lot depends on how quality your tire gauge is. Does it have a vent to zero it out before you check?
 
Love how much the infrared changes in different lighting. Last one is at the airport where I avoided any door dings!

My experience was similar for track PSI. My tires were warm from the drive to the track, but I lowered the pressure to 29PSI all the way around. First session, I saw 37-39PSI on the dash (36-38PSI with a gauge) so I lowered back to 35PSI, and it held there the rest of the day (dash seems to read a couple PSI higher when hot). Fell to below 30 on the drive home. I just checked in the garage after sitting a couple of days, and they are at 26LF, 27LR. (I can't get to the right sides) The app says 28LF, and 30LR, so maybe a little more error when cold. Also, on track I never saw the tire indication go above "warm," but I took it a bit easy, and the ambient temp was high 70s.
 
Yes, we got super lucky it moved south. Still terrible devastation for those in the fort Myers area.
Yeah, my folks had a time share on Captiva... but that's nothing compared to the 60k people who lived on Sanibel year round... plus businesses and lives lost
 
Awesome, requote worthy.

Any more pics of the gloss black roof wrap??
That's all I got for now. If weathers nice tomorrow I'll snap a couple more.
