Rochester, do you still have that VMS Racing radiator cap cover? Ever thought about switching to an actual "performance" radiator cap?

Yes. No. Figure it's just a rad cap on my DD, so "upgrading" seemed pointless. Whacha talkin about, Willis?

However, I did just buy this little thing for $15 on Amazon. Next OC.

Would have been even more cool if he had the track on his NAV screen.

"Tires are cooked. Time to head back to the pits" -- LOL

Cool post, Alfredo.
car does sound nice especially at that acceleration passing that 3 series. Track on NAV screen would have been a huge plus lol.

sucks there are no big tracks in my country...that track looks really fun.

Having a hand-brake lever to my right should mean that I can actually use it, like Jim Rockford intended. But you can't... it's pointless. All show.

It's one of my more significant gripes with the car. A lesser one would be the lack of a heated steering wheel. (Far lesser, LOL) Oh, and the way the passenger seat belt doesn't nicely tuck between the seat and the B-pillar after someone uses it. That really annoys me, too. And the way dirt collects at the rear bumper just under the trunk... hate that. And sometimes how the car boots up without a functioning radio; (rare, but it happens.)

I hate that! lmao. whole car is clean, look down at trunk Is it just on white cars or does everyone notice that?

Awesome!

I've been wanting to do a rack day for a while now. Hopefully this spring/summer I'll get the chance.

Does anyone know what the warning in the dash that kept beeping was?

I thought Puerto Ricans went to NYC and Cubans stayed in S. Florida?

As Alfredo could explain better than anyone, after the Spanish-American War, Puerto Rico was ceded to the United States as a protected Territory. Like Guam, and the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth. They use US Currency, and are American citizens, even though they can't vote in federal elections, because the USA is a Republic not a Democracy, and PR isn't a State.

History... blah blah blah.

The larger point is that I'm just teasing Alfedo, because it's fun.

I got some new wheels and I wasn't sure how much work I would need to do to get them to fit. Surprisingly my current tires and suspension settings fit without rubbing - even though it doesn't rub I still plan on adding more negative camber since the rear pokes so much..
