The M4 is stealth. You have to be watchful for the quiet guys! It did feel smaller to be driving it as compared to the C8, but that's subjective. I would be very happy with either car. The base C8 is...

All of these performance cars have gone crazy in the price and availability (loaded C8s and M4s are comparable in price). BMW raised their prices again for 2023. But, here in South Florida it's just...

That's a beautiful color combination. I think it's nearly the same as I chose for my M4 and it's also the color I was going to choose for the C8. I really like your wheels. Super nice car!

I had a BMW E93 for about 3 days until I figured out it had been in an accident and the dealer didn't disclose it. They took it back and I bought the 335is instead which is a very capable sports car,...

I hated the grill too when it first came out, and then when I drove the car, I was so in love with how it performed that I said screw it, I'm sold! Since then, it's starting to grow on me as it does...

I was lucky to contact the dealer that just got an allocation for 2 M4s the day before and had already sold one of them. They said it should be about 12 weeks, maybe a bit more or less. I would...

The design of the M4 is sleeker and less complicated than the C8 so it does look smaller and less bulky, to me at least. The M4 also felt nimbler to me as compared to the C8, even though it does...

That's why I just ordered a '23 BMW M4 Competition xDrive Coupe over the C8 this week. I've had 3 Corvettes including a ZO6, and after recently selling my Porsche 911 GTS, I felt I was missing...

I was quoted $138,500 plus $995 dealer fee for a 2022 3LT convertible that has a sticker of around $94,000. It's crazy out there. I've never seen anything like it and I thought by now the prices...

I agree as it relates to the Porsche 911 turbo. I'm not a fan of it either, especially with a PDK. Actually, I'm not a fan of any car without a manual transmission and NA engine. I have a DCT in my...

Have a great trip. I have made the trip multiple times in my C5 and C6 Z06. Just pay attention and keep your eyes looking well ahead to watch for debris on the road.

These comments of yours are really out there. Also, I doubt JC still has his ZR1 as I would imagine he trades cars frequently.

I was just about to say the same thing. He did buy a ZR1 in '09. It was about the same time when I bought my '09 C6 Z06.
