Anyone else get banned from the G8X section for making fun of its looks?

You see accidents enough, no one comes out of it without any scars.

I always second guess drivers, hence why I drive defenseively (…which wasn’t relevant in your case since you were hit from behind and side swiped). I was just genuinely curious about your comment because I’ve never known anybody to be scared to drive following an accident where they weren’t significantly injured in a life altering way; and you’re right, I respond to them multiple times a day.

Ooh yeah. Had a G80 for +1,200 miles on the euro pickup. Not good. I’ll keep on not considering adding one.

Another German pickup in the books. This time, with +1,000 on the tach!

Why not go later in Spring or early Summer and get to enjoy it for a few weeks all over Europe?!

It isn't like I am not driving my car, I am. Still love it. However, I notice I second guess certain things when I am driving. I never done that before, especially the 4RS's blind spot. Some times, shit happens no matter what you are doing. Even though I know that, its hard to ignore certain things after having an traumatic accident.

Some would say, "use your mirrors!" That is only if you are going straight, that means jack when you're turning as it turns into a blind spot again.

I didn't lose a body part and what not yes. Most of my spine from my c1 to c7 moved by a few mm each. Worst is c6 to 7 is pinching my nerve. My left arm goes numb completely if I tilt my head back all the way, which I only found out about when using eye drops. And my recent MRI showed my lower back is also injured but not as severe as my neck. Which explains why I constantly feel off physically.

Could have been worse, yup. My head didn't smash into my driver's side glass due to the buckets or my head injury would have been worse.

Its not quite as simple as “I want to do it in June” with Porsche. You take what you can get on availability based on your production slot. They won’t hold your built car for 8 months just because you’d prefer to go to Oktoberfest or something.

Understandable...I just figured you'd be able to fudge it forward maybe 6-8 weeks to get to end of March or early April.

Interesting mix of modifications.
I actually picked up a cerium gray m440i badge for my 440i. I’ll ditch the m however. Just keep the gray 440i on white. Should look clean.

I’ve floated the idea of that M-Performance wing (ditching my spoiler), as it would match the badge and gray 513M wheels… but unless I find it second-hand at a massive discount… I’m not shelling out $3k for it.

There was this dude in Florida with a Java Green M4 that listed his, but he never got back to me

A little cheaper now. A couple years back (w/ full hardware) it cleared 3k.

Oh, here’s IND providing it. Over three grand: https://ind-distribution.com/product...7a0f9284&_ss=r

Interesting, I don’t hate it. Car really needs to have other pieces though to make it work, I think. I sometimes wonder if I could get away with the Vorsteiner spoiler now that my car has so much done to it. I wouldn’t add it back now but have to admit seeing it in the rear-view mirror made me smile slightly.
