Previous owner did that in the Ferrari - has Bluetooth, hands free (wired mic in the left A pillar etc) plus Pandora, Sirius XM - all sorts of crap. First thing I did was hit the off button and I've never turned it on again.

A Ferrari makes much nicer noises than an AMC 360. I would rather hear some Allman Brothers or George Straight than a 360ci engine struggle to make 190hp while burning 2 gallons of gas every mile. Haha.

My social distancing/ pandemic recreation maneuver is to make a good cup of coffee, fill a driving mug, and then go for drives. I’m not in urban area so I have the luxury to enjoy this as an isolated recreation. Have my music. Have my ‘communicator’. It’s relaxing, and it’s safe. I do note less people on the road, and that is good.

I'm so jealous you have a '13 X6M. I miss mine every single day

EDIT - I see it's your son's. I'm still jealous.

Lol. Why is the window glass punched in like that??!

I'm still able to go in to work, so currently the day looks like, wake up, breakfast, shower, work, work out, shower, sex, sleep, repeat.

I'm old & I was scratching my head, even though I did many miles in a Wagoneer (one with a 390 Buick in it).

Here in Brklyn the only stores open seem to be grocery stores & take-out restaurants (but the Chinese restaurants are closed

).

And the liquor stores are open!

Savageenterprise · 03-23-2020, 11:05 AM

Sex, whiskey, car washes, home improvement projects, reading and xbox. Sprinkle some work in there..

Plenty to keep me busy here at home.

If you're scratching your head, you're not old enough. Born and raised Brooklyn here.

There are reports that Chinese markets/restaurants/people are being boycotted under some twisted belief that they are responsible for COVID-19.....

ajcorona · 03-23-2020, 01:52 PM

Going crazy since my wife has been home from work for the last week. She has me painting the kitchen soon. Good luck told her the girls in my garage need work as I get them ready for the summer. Also catching up on using forums for my cars. Haven't really had a need for this E90 forum. Since her car is the 09 328xi (N51 yuk) and I generally don't touch it. Make her take it to the shop. But I just bought the 07 328xi Coupe so I figured that I better get on the stick. Members here are great from what I have seen to date. No TP in upstate NY for about two weeks for the most part. Go figure.

FLATTEN THE CURVE!

FuriouslyFast · 03-23-2020, 02:00 PM

I washed the Hellcat 3 times last week lol. Raining today. I can't order the car parts I want b/c the companies are in states that closed all non-essential businesses.

Lots of eating & drinking. Made chocolate chip muffins yesterday

We started waiving our usual $40 drop ship fee, so our retailers can have their loudspeakers shipped directly to the end user.

During personal time I've been kicking my ass in my gym; and cooking a lot. Golf is officially approved social distancing so there's that too. I attached a pic of what I'm wearing to the course today (kidding).

What speakers do you sell. I just picked up an Anthem receiver, I can't believe how good it sounds and the room correction is so cool to experiment with and do sweeps on my various speakers, I'm amazed how flat my Studio 60v2 are with a near field sweep
