    Manny, it's the hood and headlights of your BMW's that are getting the pelted with gravel.

    I’ve been testing some cheap ways to get good wind free exhaust clips / engine clips, to overlay on camera footage possibly mounted in the wind and water proof / rock proof case or just plain dash cam.... I had a cheap lavalier under the hood, out the tilt of the moon Roof, out the trunk on the bumper over muffler and two cameras running at some points... the old iPhone 6 I have over heated again and again in the black Cars trunk even with the ski / guitar neck hole - open and top down... got hotter than the Sony voice recorder with lavalier under the hood of the M/S62 Cars.... I have yet to pull the VR audio and only about a fifth of the iPhone audio... I’ve found a good Set of iPhone 6/6s with or without the baffle and mic hole, work very well with some head band (wool maybe?) snipped and zip tied to seal mic and to slam into the trunk over muffler area, I crushed a perfectly good set of the actual ear buds in the process but it was worth the audio... and there’s a learning curve I guess... to do list 1) (find a way to clip away the buds) 2) (pull the rest of the audio)

    Anybody out there good with modifying audio files??

    I want a version of KISS' "Rock and roll all night " that repeats the annoying refrain for about an hour straight.

    It's bad enough in its original format, but I want to put it in the mix on the houseboat and see how long it takes for anyone to notice.

    Quick cliffs ...

    Not much going on lately.
    Busy with work.
    Sold the M5 (check out my profile on the right for my awesome new ride)
    Traveling overseas this week (getting married (help me! ;p))
    Still undecided what to get next.
    Desire: E90 M3 sedan 6sp, or the new Golf R, or maybe a chevy truck, M240i/M2, or I don't know yet ...
    That's all.

    You?

    A five hour round trip to pick this up with my oldest Son. He purchased a one owner garage kept duramax with only 90k on it.
    Truck is near perfect,if he didn't buy it I would have.
