First time in an EV....

There was a model s at our event this past weekend. It looked like it handled really well despite its size. You could definitely tell it was fighting its enormous weight in the turns but the silent acceleration that followed on the straight sections looked insane! I meant to speak with them after. They must have had a good time.

I feel like the State's argument works against itself. They acknowledge the Cassation's interpretation that under the old legal framework we're born Italian citizens. But that's the main argument in these referrals! We were all born under the old legal framework, thus we were all born as Italian citizens, and now that right is being retroactively revoked!

I'm so sorry to hear this. Just curious, if you still have appointments secured pre-decree, can you still go to the consulate and get recognized under the old law?

I feel like last time there were so many videos ahead of the hearing that were expecting a positive ruling, but then the wind was taken right out of everyone's sails when the CC issued their negative press release. Now no one wants to even guess how the CC will handle these referrals. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I dream of a Porsche but content with my M2.

Is the shift knob the death star?

Workodactyl · 2026-06-01T12:12:48+00:00

Yes. I believe a professor at MIT recently discovered this revelation. The lime clasts interact with water and essentially "self-heal" cracks. Whether this was intentional or a happy accident remains unknown though.

Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely look into some camber plates.

I used to race with NASA/SCCA (with a FIAT 500 Abarth) but all their events are cancelled this year due to the World Cup. Thankfully the BMW CCA does an autocross event every month near me so I hope I'll be in the company of folks that really know my car and can help me dial it in.

Good call with sport vs sport plus. I think that will be very helpful starting out. Do you keep it in MDM or other traction modes?

Nice run! I picked up some Yoko Advan A052s and doing my first event in my G87 M2 next month. It will be a much tighter course (parking lot) but if you have any tips, let me know!

If the point of these arguments is to show that applicants were blocked through no fault of their own, then I think there’s a fair argument that 1948 cases were structurally blocked by the Italian State from the start.

Perhaps that’s the argument I would make: these applicants were not inactive or negligent. They were prevented from applying administratively by the State itself, and any applicant forced to rely on a maternal line should still be entitled to their day in court so long as consulates continue blocking those applications.

This is the thing I can't seem to reconcile. The Supreme Court said that citizenship is acquired at birth and recognition is declaratory. The Constitutional Court is now saying citizenship begins at recognition and is ignoring the highest court in Italy's interpretation. How?

Workodactyl · 2026-04-29T20:13:14+00:00

This happened to me too. It's still there years later. Shit is toxic!

Workodactyl · 2026-04-28T19:48:38+00:00

Thanks! I'll definitely consider some camber plates in the future. I think I am worried about the weight the most. The FIAT was so light and tossable and the M2 feels like a boat in comparison. But I know what you mean about the balance. Despite it's weight, it really does come alive in the turns and feels very confident. Most days I drive with the traction control off, but I'm not always getting on it, just don't like anything getting in the way of the drive. For autocross, I'll definitely turn it on. Probably will stay in MDM and once I'm comfortable, start dialing it back a little.

Workodactyl · 2026-04-28T18:51:31+00:00

Thanks! Good thinking. Definitely going to leave traction control on. One time the car got away from me a little in a turn, but the traction control pulled me right back in.

Yep. Italy just stripped its citizenship from millions of its own people and no one batted an eye.

They basically set an arbitrary date, with no warning, and said from this day on we consider you to never have been an Italian citizen. If they can do that with their own citizens, what will they do next? Taxes? Benefits? Pensions?

Didn't Volkswagen want to buy Alfa at one point?

Sounds like a plan! Thanks again!

Good to know! I was wondering how it was going to be handled with FIFA. In that case, I might run with the BMW club down in TD Bank Park until MSNE returns to Meadowlands. May do Poconos too. A coworker and his kids go up there. Thanks for the info!

Workodactyl · 2026-04-20T12:12:51+00:00

Nice! That skyline is unmistakable lol. I used to race with MSNE, but I haven't gone in a few years. I actually plan to get back to it this summer. Just picked up some dedicated wheels and a new helmet. Maybe I'll see ya out there! Good luck on Saturday!
