I was surprised how well the G05 handled through the cones on the track. I figured it would be good but it was great.

In the end of the day, physics will win and the G05 is certainly capable of flipping. I, for one, plan on keeping mine upright!

Sounds like a great experience...looking forward to it next month.

Oh wow didn't realize we had a limit. I will have to start deleting messages periodically. Just deleted a bunch. Let me know if there is still an issue. Thanks

This is the perfect opportunity to use your dry cleaning cloth, rub hard to be sure to get into the paints crevices, should look like new afterwards.

i switched out the reflectors last night, couldn't take that orange...

today if the temps come up, i'm going to do a full wash/decon and polish. coatings probably tomorrow thru Weds.
Tints, snows, spacers and Power Stop pads - hoping I can get those scheduled at the back end of the week.

It's good to be you!

My son just bought a Tesla 3 dual motor. We took it skiing last weekend to Tahoe. My first time in a Tesla. They sure are quick! No Porsche in the family. Oh well.

Congrats. Looks great. My favorite G05 wheels.

My next one will be black, just like my first one. Love how 2 generations later, the modern version still brings me back to this... (don't hate on the canoe! only digital shot I have in my cloud, it was an '07). Still love those style 214's!!!
