I rarely show up on north side of the City but sometimes you can catch me around O'Hare airport taking pictures of the planes arriving/departing. So, if you're on I-294, please check your rear view mirrors before changing lines....I drive fast....always, lol
Seriously, we could meet up at SuperCar Saturday car show in S. Barrington. They usually have a meet there twice a year and 3 times in Bolinbrook (which in ~15 min. from my house)


Nah, not a fan at all, lol but let me know a few days in advance and if I'm home, I'll drive down there to meet you, it's only ~1 hour away.
It would be good excuse to test out my new baby D850



Damn....those car enthusiast!

hey bud checking my mirror right now....barrington or bolingbrook works for me...love a day ride...

 

[dareckibmw]

Lol....they don't have the schedule set up for this year yet, but I'm pretty sure it will be the same as '17 http://www.supercarsaturdays.com/content.asp?tid=5

It took me a while to make a decision, which wheels I would like to have on my car. I wasn't sure about the design and/or color, then I saw Huddleston's car ..... I said to myself - those wheels are gorgeous! I want them too!
They look awesome on white cars, especially with black glossy pano roof, though, but I didn't know, how they are going to look on my car - Empire State Gray. Well, I decided to get them anyway....do I like them now? hell yeah!

So, here is my 5.0, sitting on VELGEN VMB5 Matte Gunmetal in 20×9″ et35 front and 20×10.5″ et45 rear concave wheel. Tires are NITTO555 255/35/20 and 285/30/20

Even though, my car isn't lowered (yet) they still look good......ARK springs will go in next week!

Enjoy the pics, guys

Great pictures, love that color. When I bought my 2018 G80, the only Gray the dealer had in stock was Himalayan Gray. Not nearly as nice as yours.

sorry was absent all week, working in Huntley actually but this weekend no bueno for me to much spring cleanup to do around the house.....will stay in touch tho!

 

[dareckibmw]

Cough....cough...cough.....Out with the old, in with the new!

 

[chewbakarox]

Wow....congrats Dareck! Can't wait to see the mods to the Sport begin!

 

[Aquineas]

Congrats man!! Looking forward to hearing your comparisons to the 5.0! I still think I might have waited to see what the G70 brings to the table, but believe me I get the "new car itch" too. I am curious though why you didn't swap out out your wheels with the stock ones when you traded the old one in? Surely they're worth something..

 

[dareckibmw]

Thanks guys!
The Velgens stays with me, I didn't trade them in, GM wanted them but I told him to buzz off, lol. I'll be going back to the dealer in a few hours to swap wheels, there was no time to go back home yesterday just for them.

Windows are already tinted, I think they are 50% which isn't legal in IL, I'm afraid that I'll have to redo the front door windows ang go with 35% or let them deal with it and pay for all...we'll see.

So far, I love the car and color, it's called Havana Red, looks awesome, can't wait to get some high res. pictures of the car.

I'll probably lower it on ARK GT-F springs next month, though

Dareck was your Genesis clean when you traded it in? Because man the paint on the new car is absolutely *popping* in the dark, especially next to your old one. It might be a trick of lighting perhaps?

I specifically chose that angle for the picture, to see how nice the paint looks on G80.
Yeah my car is/was clean, washed it before I went there and I thought mine was always shiny, but this Havana Red is really something, I just love it!

 

[Aquineas]

I would have to play this song (loudly) if I had that color of a car. It'd be rude not to.

Can you still have TPMS with tire fitment like yours?
