Found this beautiful natural boulder bridge last weekend. Just had to go back with the ZHP.
Stayed back so I didn’t invade their privacy.

Decided to enjoy my M Roadster; blew by 40K miles. Drove 50 miles round trip to work at Pentagon.

The roadster sure beats the slug line

yup - we "Live Free or Die" NH folks have some expanded characters. To be honest, I applied for -ZHP- because the NH DMV website claimed it was available. 8 weeks later I got a rejection letter - sorry TAKEN. So I reapplied with +ZHP+ and finally got it. Let's find this -ZHP-! Guy whole stole my plate!!! Need him to be one of us at ZHPMafia??? Right?
Autocross with the kids. I wonAttachment 32877
I still love that you have tow SGM coupes in the family.
Was someone auto-crossing a Toyota Matrix?Quote:

There’s a hot version of the matrix that’s actually really quick. XRF orXRS or something like that.Quote:

I used tire dressing for the first time in an embarrassingly long time. Wish I’d checked the weather forecast before doing so...

Side note: the birds in our parking lot seem to be really well-fed, so the car is overdue for a good claying. Other than that, the ceramic coating seems to be holding up pretty well after ~10-11 months of daily sun exposure.
When did you swap the sportlines for the arc 8s?Quote:

I have sticky tires (200 treadwear) on the Arc-8 I want to use specifically for autocross and HPDEs. I won’t be daily’ing them other than to/from an event, or the days around it.Quote:

sorry spenser, this made me LOL pretty hard. i haven't even washed my car since last fall... i wish i could keep up with that stuff!Quote:

Oh man I totally understand. But when you’re in a place with those kind of temperatures and have a garage without drains/the ability to wash inside it’s just not feasible. If I lived up north I would actually have to, GASP, go to a car wash. I’m so ashamed to have typed those words...Quote:

My buddy had to abandon his 135i on the Michies stuck on a DOWNHILL. We went back to save his car from any harm at 4am after the plows came to clear the roads.
DWS06 FTW as my friends ZHP never gets stuck even climbing mountains to go skiing.
Yea I’m staggered still, so no rotation. Were DWS06 the tires Dane had flat spotting problems with?Quote:

We have new DWS on the MDX. They flat spot overnight... goes away within the first mile or two of driving
Now when I saw your kids they didn’t appear to be conjoined...Quote:

Hey, my nephew is also Mason. I’m hoping to make him into a car guy once they move back to the US. My brother sure isn’t going to help mold him into a car guy.Quote:
