It is not as bad as the weight would suggest, in fact you don't notice it on the street. We drove a G90 since my wife is interested in replacing her F90 Comp, the G90 really is excellent on the street, as good or better than the F90. My wife is holding off on the decision to see if they make a G90 M5 Comp which they have suggested they won't build. If not, she may go a different path with a GT3 Touring being the next one in line. and it would be nice to have a N/A manual car back in the garage.
Outkast has really fallen off.

I doubt it (the tire). Maybe had traction/stability off to show off, got squirrely and lifted?

no, but in an 800+hp car you could get to 90+ in the straight-ish stretches. I just meant more that the crest a Mecca for car spotting like the dragon. on the weekends people are all over. Ive been up there about a dozen times and I mostly avoid the Dragon on the weekends when I do go.

Why were those guys standing there waiting for him to come out of the tunnel?
Angeles Crest is where all the supercars in L.A. go if they want to drive curvy roads. Big car spotting area on the weekends, like the Tail of the Dragon for Los Angeles. Search "Angeles crest tunnels" on Google maps and you can see exactly where this happened. There is a pull off area right outside the tunnel where people watch and listen to the cars coming out of the tunnel.

Any school with > 95% Caucasian would be de facto racist in the real world.
At least one school has held that demographic on the Northshore and is proud to be MAGA.

Tchefuncte Country Club has lots going for $600k and from all accounts there is no traffic in that subdivision.

I assume it is bad, but this time of year will be the absolute worst.

People act like the act of filming this content isn't work in itself. Setting up, moving cameras constantly, getting drone footage, making sure equipment isn't stolen while working etc. Not to mention hours and hours of editing.

The roads in Colorado are 10x better than the roads in Tennessee.
Tennessee rivals Louisiana for shitty construction and piss-poor markings.
In Sept I shipped my GT3 out to CO and drove over 1700 miles out there in a week. Denver to Telluride, loops out to Ouray, Million Dollar Hwy, Gateway etc. Then to Vail to Pikes Peak etc. I-70 is a mess. The vistas were beautiful but I didn't think the roads were in that great of shape, lots of construction. Lots of pebbles on the roads and snow damage., Big sweeping turns but nothing like the awesome tight turns of East Tenn and SW North Carolina. I've driven a ton on TOTD, Cherohala Skyway, 28, and many other roads of that area and nothing else ive been on in the USA compares.

ETA; and those things depreciate like a mofo, if that's a 2025, somewhere in the next 2-3 years you could buy it for somewhere in the Ford Explorer/Expedition range

As said before, the area around the Frontenac. Battery Park is nice, take an afternoon trip out to the big waterfall. The aquarium is OK, it's under some major renovations but they do have an impressive polar bear exhibit.

Have one. It's a big one. 12x30. Keep my 16.5 ft. car hauler trailer in it. Keeps the trailer out of the weather and rats from chewing the wiring etc. 5 minutes from the house. Expensive but necessary and convenient. only thing in there besides the trailer is a washer and dryer i'm keeping in case one of the kids need them.
Our kids are grown with no grandkids yet and we both come from small families, We are both only children so our kids have no cousins. We have very few first cousins ourselves, I only have 5.
That and working retail in high school and college have stomped it for us. Our kids we just give $ and we don't buy each other presents, we buy whatever, whenever.
