Spotted you today on the feeder. Car looks great! U may want to check the clips that hold the diffusor in place, noticed an uneven gap.

Anyone know any good spots to test launch control in the Houston area??? I'm dying to try it! But there's always so many cars, everywhere! Achk!

As a group we could shut down 45 for you to do a launch. I would go to an industrial part of Houston to do this.

My vote is to shut down 45. Perhaps at the next cars and coffee?

Gray M4 on the side of Gosling attending to an accident. Also present was a Mustang, I believe. Looked like only the Mazda got hit.

Anyone here?

That is really not smart.

Ill be in India next week for work.

I have total respect for this car but it just doesn't interest me. Maybe it's the size, I have never really liked small-ish cars. Maybe it the rear, or maybe it's something else all together. Just cant figure out why it hanslt captured my attention. I hope it's awesome and everyone that buys one loves it.

I have been working on modding a 4Runner I picked up from a friend. If you guys think the BMW forums and facebook groups are fanboi filled, the 4Runner freaks are a cult. A likable cult, but a cult either way. A future tow vehicle?

That's awesome. Just make sure 4Runner mod money doesn't interfere with track money

What year is it? It'll certainly make a good tow vehicle when you get that dedicated track toy.

I'm already at the point where I think that tire wear can easily make or break frequent track day adventures. I'm looking into camber plates as a possible (short term) solution.

As for the M2, it's also a car I won't buy, but good enough to make me want to check out the latest and greatest from all manufacturers. One day I'll make it to the big boy and girl shows

2006 T4R Sport 4x4 V8
122,500 miles

Owned by a high school buddy. I know the car very well as I recommended he buy it in 2006! I then bought a 2007 which I drove for 5 years and sold it stupidly 2.5 years ago. Some exterior wear/tear due his bike rack but a great interior and super strong engine. Crazy to imagine they put a 4.7 liter V8 in this sized SUV less than 6 years ago. Horrible gas mileage but it still looks great. So far I've added a Apple Car play head unit, rear view camera, wheel spacers, K&N filter & interior bits, etc. Bought the 2.5" lift kit on Amazon yesterday and it should arrive next week. Tires will be aggressive 265/70/17 Goodyears. Ill post an update picture after it's all done, this is the before shot.



My wife thinks I'm an idiot. She's not wrong.

Looking good Damasconian. Miss my 4runner too. So who else is down for a meet?

[phidailo]

Nice 4Runner. I sure miss my taco. Had her for 10 years.

I'm down for a meet.
