Default A nice picture...

Recently I posted that my car got vandelized. So, I'm going to cheer myself up by posting a picture I took of the car with my brother's M3. We went for a drive and ended up taking one decent picture. I know that the picture would have been better if that construction tape was out of it, but hey, it's still decent enough for me....haha. We went for this jaunt around Connecticut just last Sunday.


PS: His M3 is a dream to drive. It's so vastly different than the Vette and I am also biased since I drove a modified 98 328 for so many years.

I'm lowered on the stock bolts with no bushings cut. I really feel that I might need to get some new shocks or some Z06 shocks. I mean, the car does have close to 80K miles though the car's exterior condition may not reflect that. Hell, I really want to get the entire Z06 suspension; shocks, springs and sways. At the same time, people are just alarmed at how smooth a car like this at this low of a ride height drives. It's FAR more comfortable than the M3 which is really stiff in comparison. My brother was surprised when he realized that the Vette was more comfortable around Manhattan than his car...just had to watch out for the occasional steep ramp in the middle of the road or some deep pothole.

My wife has a 528i and yes it too handles nicely but the seats are hard!! You get a sore butt on long rides!! Nice car though.. Hers is black adding to the sweet look...

The vette however, we've driven 18 hours once with only a few stops and you really get comfortable in those nice seats.. Of course.. everyone KNOWS that already!!

Even my work car, an Impala, has better seats than the Bimmer.. lol...
