Why she chose a BMW M2 DCT over a BMW M4 + Lexus GX470 overland build review

Niel upgraded from a Mini Cooper S to a BMW M2, purchasing it before the M2 CS had been unveiled. The choice between an M3, M4, or the M2 was a tough one, but the M2's appeal proved irresistible. Her license plate amusingly makes other drivers want to race her all the time. Niel's M2 is stock, offering an authentic ownership experience straight from the dealer. She shares her car adventures on Instagram @turrbokitty.

Clean sticky car radio buttons DIY + selling an Audi R8 for a Miata - Paul's car story

To stay safe during quarantine, I am making videos with my 2012 MK6 GTI and 2004 Cayenne Turbo. I discovered a useful trick for cleaning the sticky radio knobs in the Cayenne, a common issue in older Ferraris due to sun exposure, although their buttons are harder to remove. If you have any car video requests, let me know! Thanks to @HooviesGarage for inspiring me to buy my first Porsche. Recently, Paul bought a 4th generation Club Edition 6-speed MX-5, known as a Mazda Miata ND, to replace his beautiful V10-powered R8 with a dual clutch. I met him when he owned the first dual clutch Audi R8 in the USA with an S-Tronic transmission. His latest purchase was a 991.1 Porsche GT3RS. This video is a remote interview with Paul discussing his past cars and why he chose the Miata over a BMW M4 convertible and Bentley Continental GTC while shopping for a replacement for the Audi R8 V10 Plus. I, Ben, currently own a 1991 BRG Limited Edition Miata and previously had a classic red 1995 Miata as my weekend car, alongside my MK6 GTI DSG and Mini Cooper S (6-speed).
