Cool pics , aren't we speed limited to 130 mph? Dunlop M3 snows have H to V rating, but boy is it rough at 100mph! I tried the brakes, and it really was a scary deceleration with snows on! Better now, back on all seasons.

Default Nice pics. Your cars are too shiny, though! :-)

Just waxed my A8 this weekend and realized how nicely 133k miles of rock chips and road salt marks show up after a good coat of wax. That's not a reflection of the driveway on the bumper! Contrast with the almost new license plate insert.

Oh well, at least the back looks nice!

Default Goodyear Eagles @ 120

Are fine on smooth pavement, but on a bit of washboard things got squirrelly. I didn't blame the tires, I blamed the suspension. And kept it under 100 from there on out.

Was looking at an RS6 this weekend. Drooling. Maybe after the next million. Maybe.
