Sunday night on the way home from Taffy’s I guess the deer had a choice between corvette and BMW and went the BMW route

How did yours turn out? I can’t believe you hit one where you did.

I thought that might have been you. We were picking up the car from tuning at Donovan’s. We should get together for a beer some time.

I feel a whole lot better about it hitting mine rather than yours.

Ribcage & pelvis were crushed or I would have. Had I not been wearing a white button down and it covered in blood I was planning on a deer selfie.

Folks…this is not a drill…hold on to your drinks…we have gone completely legit

At the local oil change shop.

Ironically all they could find was a burned out rear plate bulb (which they couldn’t figure out how to change, LOL).

So, that’s a big relief to have that out of the way.

As usual, fuel consumption is very frugal - much better than all those pesky “other” hybrids

Just kidding, wish those trip computers worked.

I calculated economy after a long trip recently:

15 mpg city beating the piss out of it  
23 highway beating the piss out of it (cruising @ 80, a few triple digit blasts)

Evan, it was never broken? I’ve been driving it to work since May-ish…

I am waiting on a guy to mail me some shorter E34 M5 gears :tup: burnouts

I also have a pair of 245/40/18 tires waiting that will replace the current 235/50/18 that are in the rear. I put together some gearing charts and it’s crazy how much tire height affects overall gearing.
