Grundens rain bibs, jacket, and hat, for Alaska

Hah! so cool... nice trip to Alaska :)

Yuppers, if you get too much moisture when its put up, it will start to rot form the inside out, and build heat in the process and if that heat has no where to go it can "spontaneously combust"

Funny. My Grandfather on my Mom's side of the family was a producer of alfalfa. The Triple J ranch in the Yreka valley(mostly bread quarter horses). I know my cousins would debate that, and it was never seen on their ranch. A pile of wet alfalfa would get warm, but I think it still a old "wives tale" - I'll have to ask my relatives.

Big wet pile in a field is one thing, big damp pile in the hot ass hay loft in the dead of august where ambient can hit 130f every day and hold that heat is another

Here she is in all her glory...



I'm still trying to decide if I should build it or part it?

How much do you want? I would like a clean canvas.

Picked up my new DD! Yeah, it's ugly, but my 80 mile commute was killing the M3. Excuse the iphone photo:

How do you iike it? I was looking into them but I am waiting for a little higher performance version.

Loving it so far. Handles like a go-cart, RWD, surprisingly nimble. Not super fast, but torquey like most EVs should be. Very nice inside, not luxurious, but BMW really put an emphasis on the experience, nothing looks cheap, and you really feel like you are driving a modern car. Minimalistic, but not Tesla 3 minimalistic. I especially love the suicide doors for all the reasons from looks to convenience. Trunk space is limited, but that's not what it's for. Fuel Economy is great (35+mpg when using the range extender).



The BMW App is awesome, which I have for the M3, but EVs benefit from it the most:

Climate Control: I can tell the i3 that I am ready to leave and it will turn the AC on for me so it's cool by the time I get to the car.

Battery: The app will tell me the state of charge and the ETA of a full charge, and my total range including fuel.

Battery Conditioning: The app can set scheduled departure times to heat up the battery for optimal range. I get almost 10 miles from doing this.

Charge Scheduling: I can schedule my charging for non-peak times for a lower energy bill.

You can also lock the doors, beep the horn, flash the lights etc from the app, all stuff you can normally do with any modern BMW.


My favorite: Adaptive Cruise Control:

Set the distance, set the max speed, and the i3's radar will brake and accelerate for you in traffic, keeping a customizable distance from you and the car in front of you. Stop and go traffic is almost painless now. Plus I got the carpool stickers!


If you are looking for performance, you can't beat the i8. My buddy has one and my M3 and his i8 are similar in performance, with the i8 having an edge with the drivetrain and low CG. Incentives aren't as good for the i8, but you can lease one for not much more than a new M3/4. I was really tempted to move into an i8, but I'm going to wait for the next generation.

The interior needs work but I have big plans for it, I'd only sell it for $1650.
