Ymb

I finally saw an YMB F80 in person today, and it was simply amazing! I know for sure now that my color choice was the right one. So whoever was cruising past the Fiat dealership in Honolulu today at 5:20 pm. THANK YOU! Of course I heard you before I saw you

That's the other thing, the car sounds great in person, such a deep, smooth tone.

Rolling in paradise..Aloha!

..SOO glad I chose YMB as well..color that is very unique and definitely grew on me..

It's a dealer demo. I drove it the other day. I must agree about the color...especially since I'm doing a ED for one in a couple weeks...

Cool, I'll swing by the dealership tomorrow to check it out. I have a few hours to kill after I check out of my hotel, and before my 10PM flight back to the mainland.

Aloha! Seriously thinking of moving here permanently. This place is truly paradise. Every time I come here it gets harder to leave.

Well it was too late in the evening by the time I made it back. The dealership was already closing. The color changes nicely with the lighting conditions.

love it there.. do they have any racetracks? I thought there was one but it closed? (road course)

I initially was not a fan of going black with YMB -- the light gray wheels and SS interior result in a cool 'mediterranean' look. But the Performance CF trunk spoiler, IND black bits, and the black 19" rims make for an interesting look.

I'm going to have to go look at it. Thanks for posting!

I just googled and found this. It does not look too good for the track scene Kalaeloa Raceway Park Closing/Closed

You're welcome. I hope you get the chance to take it for a spin.

No racetracks on Oahu. We used to have one a long time ago and I would do hpde's there with my old M3. On top of that the one dirt one we had is closing down too. The outer islands do have dragstrips though.

SCCA autocross is the only thing available on Oahu and it's quite active here. Autocross is also on Maui as well.

I hope so too. Work is getting busy though before the two storms hit in a couple days.

haynstyleM2 · 08-07-2014, 04:35 AM

i was able to drive that M3 this past Saturday and it was amazing. The engine sounded so unique and it just felt attached to the road. I am coming from an RS5 and I think I have to do a much longer test drive to do a true comparison. The V8 of the RS5 was music to my ears especially with a good exhaust. The RS5 would be so much more of a beast if they dialed up the torque to match the hp but i guess that's how Audi rolls.....but i'm definitely looking forward to my M4!

what's the reason? Not enough business to support it or land rights issues?
