Washed two.....LOL....clear for a few hours at least. I am sure it will rain all week. Spring in Binghamton....highest RAIN amounts in the US including Seattle.

DMV still has not processed my registration, it's been two weeks. I phoned a friend of a friend at the DMV told me likely the paperwork is being shuffled between sites. The take the incoming mail and just repackage and mail out to another site to avoid work. Nice. That was from DMV insider, so not a hater. NYS as fine as it gets.

You rock. I've been telling the wife that when we down size, it will be house only. The garage will be up sized, to 3 bays. One for her X3, one for the M5 and one for the yet to be purchased 2 seat MT fun car.

Love the green color.

Nice duo!

I also did the double wash this morning, except I've finally found a mobile retailer who can get the job done right... I've got too many little kids for me to spend hours fussing over my cars on weekends.

Must say, my "fun car" is decidedly more "Florida" 😂 than your new Porsche... I needed something to blend in better with the locals. Adding A&A's supercharger kit was a game changer... the blow off valve sound alone is worth the price of admission- old people seem to find it terrifying.

VERY NICE! How much power is the Vette putting down?

I'm considering the move to Florida. I got my Florida Med license two weeks ago.....leaving the frozen, over taxed, over regulated north soon enough.

After I took my middle son for a haircut and we tore up some roads and came home. Then I mowed, and then we did the garden prep job......weeds out, till, add cow poop, re till. LOL. WORK...

Put the kids to work.....but they charge too much!

Pittsburgh like upstate NY, snow on thursday 2" and cut the grass friday. Washed cars early and it is raining now. Clean cars never last in pittsburgh but washing is kind of a stress relief for me. My son always comes out to help and i politely tell him i just enjoy washing and cleaning interiors kind of a sickness.

I like to do it myself. Kids can scratch their own cars. LOL... I have to get one for my middle child. He is learning to drive now. In the Sienna of course.

thank you. . it was a custom "paint to sample" by prior owner. He had it for a year and a half and traded it? Odd. So far did not find any issues with the car.

Their loss, your gain! Enjoy Mike, a nice contrasting partner to the F90.

The vette dyno'd @ 502hp to the wheels 449 ft lbs torque on CA emissions compliant tune and 91octane since the work was done at the A&A shop in Oxnard... planning on cam, valve springs, full Corsa exhaust and re-tune for those changes, 93 octane and no emissions restrictions. Drives like stock under about 3k rpm, pulls extremely hard from there to redline.

I'm from NY, lived and worked in NYC for many years... I miss my home but at this point would not consider going back to such an unreasonably high tax environment.

I had to make an arduous 40 minute (both way) drive to get some locally sourced grass seed. All those dam back roads and twisties. It was terrible.

LOL.

Top down, heat on, music up, let her rip.

LOL, spit out my teeth laughing....

Do you guys recall the local council woman who called the police because someone vandalized her car by spraying green stuff on it?? FRIGGEN POLLEN was on her car, she thought it was paint. These are our LEADERS. LOL.
