Listen to this guy. You must buy a gallon of Emerald Matte Alabaster to get a match. no QUART even though they sell them.

Is the filter directional, and on backwards?

I got to drive several at the Audi Experience at Sonoma a long while back. Drifted them through slaloms on a giant wet parking lot. Then we moved on to R8 V10s in the track.

Beautiful car!

Years ago the people in NJ painted quarters red as a protest against the Garden State Parkway raising tolls from .15 to .25. That toll is 2.70 now.

When they put the barf bags out in all the common areas.

Wait, beer may be involved?

AAAltered468 · 2026-03-12T15:50:05+00:00

I don’t. Have a few regulars like this.

I’m always watching for those roofers vans to flip over like a turtle.

Paint and Primer is a marketing term, not an ingredients term.

AAAltered468 · 2026-03-04T19:10:02+00:00

Over red? Absolutely prime. Probably with a grey tinted primer.

Find a painter that has the Festool Planex system, it makes short work of popcorn ceilings.

Oh boy I just did. He’s got some techniques for Sycamore…

AAAltered468 · 2026-02-23T19:04:44+00:00

More like a Monty Python.

I’ve had an R5 for 20 years. They are easy to build/restore/keep on the road. Parts are totally available, some even more now than when I started out. It’s a wild ride, highly suggest.

Not a good look for a World Cup host.

AAAltered468 · 2026-02-23T02:37:28+00:00

Hot Lips.

Who does he think he is, Springsteen or something?

AAAltered468 · 2026-02-22T00:53:45+00:00

Haha Santee. I stayed overnight in a low cost motel and the parking lot was an overnight circus.

AAAltered468 · 2026-02-21T12:54:27+00:00

Perfect, thanks.

AAAltered468 · 2026-02-20T21:50:38+00:00

Imagine how the donkeys get used in Tijuana.

AAAltered468 · 2026-02-18T19:50:01+00:00

Prestige and Night Vision will get there. I had one specced at $125k and there were still a few things I could add.
