As promised, I bought a $40 rack and threw it on the back of the Rolla. Great success. Would've loved to mount bikes on the Bimmer, but I'm half convinced that my bike is cursed and I don't need to contaminate the darkness with that bad Juju.

I replaced engine mounts, intake boots and switched over to Rotella yesterday. Surprisingly, I think the boots would've lasted another couple years. The engine mounts on the other hand, came out in pieces and puking oil. The engine does seem to run better with Rotella in it's veins and it's apparent in most conditions. I'll send a sample into blackstone when I drain it. I'm planning on 2 lapping days in the next month, but I'm not going to drain before 5,000 miles because I also want to see how it's performed in the cold/every day conditions.
On a not-so-good note, I think I'll be replacing the VMR's before I hit the 200K mark. I'm thinking about dropping down to a 17" wheel so I can have some more sidewall. Tires are also wayyyyy cheaper when wrapping a 17" wheel. I've always been an Apex fan but everybody has them. I've always been a Volk fan and SSR Type C's are neat, but I don't think they'll look great in 17" form. So I'm still open to just about anything, if anybody has any wheel ideas for a black sedan, post them! I just want them to be strong enough to stand up to daily driving on these jagged roads.
Whammy, I'm down for a C&C. I was born and raised here and have never been to a Colorado Cars and Coffee. I've always been scared to roll up on a posse of bugeye WRX's on XXR's and Racelands LOL. Ten years ago, the local PD would've put a quick stop to any group of modified cars hanging out in a parking lot at 7am!
