My car was the beat down when I got home. I had tire bits all over the outer panels on my car, near my rear wheels. At first, I thought it was dirt or brake dust. Nope. It was rubber. Hahahaha! My car was worked. I had 0.9L of Oil on my gauge when I left this am. I have 0.1L left. Hahahahaha!
I might get the car clayed and waxed this week, just to make sure everything is off.
Yeah, Tom's car. His exhaust sounds great. I agree. I gotta tell you though, your Magnaflows sound great too, at such high speeds.

So I guess I'll tell the story first. Shortly after Christian took this pic of me driving Calton's car. (By the way, great shot Christian. I must have been doing 140+ right there)
Attachment 63514
So anyway, right after this I lost the car transitioning from the runway back to the taxiway. I had the traction control off. Power button on. Most agressive shift settings in place. I came around the turn at about 60 and at that point, I was completely in control. All of a sudden, I lost the back of the car which is very easy to do in an M with DTC off. I went into a slide and the car turned completely around and came to a rest just off the asphalt on the grass. The only witness was Dave (Penetta) I parked the car and the only damage was dirt and grass everywhere. Shortly thereafter and just my luck, C's TPM wouldnt reset. We seem to think the sensor may have been knocked off in the midst of the slide. Not very dramatic but I felt horrible. Needless to say, as I already told Calton and I'll say it again here, if there is any cost whatsoever to get the wheel and/or the car back to the same condition it was in when we got there regardless of what needs to be done, I will cover it. No worries. We truly had a great time.
