Let’s buy a rear wheel drive sports car in December I said….the weather Chanel says it’s going to be a warm “el Nina” winter

😐😐😐😐😐

Still stuck at 500 miles 🤬

[BroDoze]

It’s been a slow slog. At 999mi right now. Was doing great and then multiple massive snow storms hit one after another. So close - may just take it in at like 1,100mi.

Yes sir the struggle is real. December 31 pickup and I’m at about 120 miles and original rank of gas.

Between the temps below freezing, snow and then residual salt everywhere I can’t do that to my new girl’s paint.

I went through the same thing last year when I got my 24 in December. It’s sucks. It’s in the garage on summer tires and comes out if and when we get dry days in the mid 40s.

I keep trying to sneak it out for quick trips to the grocery store and such but watching the miles is like watching paint dry

I’m currently stuck on 368, but that’s because I’m out of the country on a work assignment.

Mine Delivered December 24th. I drive it every day in the snow or not

I bought a 6mt m2 back in October. Got it to 1100 miles and traded it in before the first service for an auto. So I’ve had to do it twice now. That sucked.

How did you like the manual vs the auto?
I’ve heard that the manual is mushy/rubbery feeling.

Is the M2 your only car?

I have a X5M too, so it’s not worth the risk of driving it in this weather.

[BIGW0RM]

Hated it. I had it three weeks. It’s the same manual feel all my past bmws had since my e92 days. I should have known better.

The gearing wasn’t ideal either.

Thank god I went with the auto
I hate when the auto writers hype up manuals just because they’re manuals

I love my manual, it isn’t perfect but it is good enough. I’m sure the auto is great but I would never trade my manual for it. Even after sitting in seven hours of traffic.

Just as a point of reference, what car had the best manual of all the ones you’ve driven?

I compare every stick I’ve driven against the 2022 ZL1 I had.
It wasn’t my favorite car overall but the shifting and clutch feel were amazing.

It snowed a little bit last night here in San Antonio. Very rare event. However, the roads were dry by noon so I could take her out for some miles.

FYI, the Yokos are a bit slippery when it is 38 degrees outside...

I think probably my STI would be my favorite. The BMW is a bit more mushy I would say but I have 8k miles in it without any noted mishifts because of it. My other manuals were Mini Cooper S for 15 years, Mazda 3 and STI.
