The Countach was always my favorite until the Aventador came along.... The Aventador being far less of a 'driver's car', but also just an all around king of kings.
Gwinnett place BMW uses Tint World in Duluth. They seem to do a good job. I just use the dealer for my cars. They'll match the rear without it being "too illegal". I'd guess the tint on my trucks to be 20% on the front. Not enough to raise red flags, but dark enough no one can make out your face.
The M550i was on my radar for a little while, but I read too many horor stories about the N63 engine, including some grenading themselves out of nowhere. I suppose a 540i M-sport could be an option. But we're back to the oil consumption question... since it uses a slightly different version of...
Oh my god, hell no. Cool cars but have you ridden in a 964 or a 993? Uncomfortable as hell! If I go the 911 route I'm set on a naturally aspirated 997.2.
Not dead set. Like I said, I'm considering a few different options; another F150, a Tundra, a Cayman, an older 911S, a Supra, etc. But I'm leaning toward a go fast as opposed to another truck.
I'll be making another purchase later this year (in the Aug to Oct range) and have several candidates in mind, both cars and trucks - one being a 2021 Supra. But I hear the BMW B58 in the 2021's is consuming insane amounts of oil. Any input?
I had a 2008 Frontier as work truck (through my employer) a little over a decade ago. We put 142,000 miles on it a couple of years. No issues other than the transmission crapping out at 135k. I think that was also due in part to the company owner towing 4,000 lb trailers with it on weekends...
To be honest, I contemplated the early order deposit (fully refundable). But a 300 mile range is such trash. And that's at 45 mph, give or take. At highway speeds it drops significantly. Probably to a 225 mi range. The only appeal at that point is having a truck that will 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds...
I had a few trucks I lifted. My rule of thumb was 1" for every tire inch over 30". So 5 to 6 for 35's, 7 or 8 for 37's. It helps prevent rubbing and having to "shave" of any plastic trim on the bottom of the front bumper.
How often are you putting your truck/suv in 4wd to keep everthing lubricated?
I just realized today it's been a year since I've done it. I normally use 4 low every 3 to 6 months for hunting or camping trips. COVID and work have kept me prisoner over the last 12 months.
The 94 to 98 Mustangs will always be my favorite body style. 93 Cobra gets an honorable mention.

I used Auto Europe for an M3 and a 328 once they were out of warranty. But all the good techs either retired or went to Global. Global will rip you off.
If they can prove maintenance, i wouldn't worry too much. To put that many miles on a truck in that short of a timeframe, almost all of them would have have to be legit highway miles. Not a lot of shifting and high revving.
To put it in perspective, about 80% of my driving is highway. And I'm...
Gotta go w/the M5. Short of actually seeing the badge, they look pretty plain Jane going down the road (unless you know what you're looking at). I can spot one from a mile away, but most of the general public assumes it's on par with a 530i.
The 340i's are pretty fast for what they are. And...
