I’ve been looking for a nice daily driver for a while now. I had a thing for the G35 sedans for a bit, but after seeing a lot of sad looking ones around I decided that I was going to get an E46 M3. You can pick up a an earlier model with low mileage for under 22K. Now that I’m having a baby in December I’ve had a hard time convincing my wife that a 2 door car is anywhere near being practical. So unless I somehow make a lot of money in the near future, having two nice cars won’t be possible. So I’ve been looking at G35 sedans again. Still hard to find a lot of cars that look really good, but I’ve had better luck lately. I might be convinced.

Proper Wheel Offsets

While it may not be the most functional on a track, having your wheel offsets sized properly so your wheels aren’t sunken in looks so much better on a car. My opinion of course. Cars that are lowered and have the right offset look much more aggressive. There is a whole site devoted to this idea. Check it out at HellaFlush.

Bravo to this FD RX-7 owner for pulling it off. Wheels are 18×10 all around with +38 offset up front and +18 in the back.

We all start somewhere

Well, here’s my first post. After recently being laid off due to the economy, I decided I hated my job anyway. So I’ve been taking this time to reinvent myself and start doing something that I like to do. So besides starting to work as a freelance web developer, I’m going to try and give photography a go as well and try and do it as more then just a hobby. And since posts without pictures are pretty boring, here’s a picture.
