Suck it all of you! Despite y'all's hope and dreams my A1C level remain good at 6.4 so I won't lose any toes

5.7 here.

5.7 here.

Is that good?

Is that good?

Considering I was over 9 when I was diagnosed, I’d say yes.

I think 5 is ideal.

TBH, I wasn’t that impressed. Just another big, overpriced sedan.

It rode and drove nice, and even got pretty good mileage.

But, for that kind of money, it had no character. My preferred BMWs to drive are lowly 3-series.






There were two M3 CS’s in the showroom. Only 107k.

Not yet. Neither in our group. Maybe to or from auction sometime.

An RT-10 Viper last month twice. Brutal car.

Neighbors concerned over mystery woman in Texas

This would be horrible if they eventually find out she was being held captive, escaped, and was recaptured.

How are the new ones? I've always liked GT cars more than pure sports cars and the old ones were way too stripped down for me.

It was a low mileage 2007. Normal amenities, but not a car you would want to drive more than once a week and not on a long trip.

Cramped cockpit (huge transmission tunnel) and extremely loud. The two days I drove it were in the 80’s, and with all the heat coming through the firewall and the transmission tunnel, the air had a hard time keeping up. Then, the side pipes at the level of the door sill made getting in and out an adventure in pain.

I’ve driven cars with more horsepower and trucks with more torque. I still think a WRX STi pulls harder than anything. But the Viper would be a blast to get out once every week or so.

So this was one before they got discontinued. I've seen the new ones on the highway a couple times but have never gotten the chance to check one out.

In all honesty, it’s pretty much just a compensation for something else.

Well, I never really saw cars as a compensation piece unless someone feels the need to constantly stick it in your face.
