BUT THINK OF THE TIMING CHAINS!

I have a CPO Q5 (wife-mobile). Haven’t used the warranty once. Its a 2012 2.0t though so its a bit more mature than the 3.0t was in 2012.

you’re forgetting the extra $2500 that you’re theoretically getting from your company. So while the interest income that you’ve calculated is correct you’re sorta missing the huge chunk of extra income you get simply by contributing which you wouldn’t get if you didn’t contribute.

I’ve never driven a new BMW (last one I drove was an e28 back in the 1999) but I’ve heard that same complaint about many of the new ones (and most new cars these days, tbh). I’m personally all about the feeling of being mechanically connected to the car. I drive Audi’s and their steering isn’t the MOST communicative,…

“A manual will not make a boring car “enjoyable””

I did spy with my very own eye, a Tesla Model 3 near my office (1 mile from a Tesla Dealer) on November 29th. Therefore 100% of the deliveries have been completed. Take that, math!

My 10 year old Audi has rain sensing. I always thought it was absolute garbage until a savvy forum-goer clued me in on the adhesive between the photocell and the windshield being bad. Replaced that ($40 for a 1" round piece of silicon-ish gummy stuff!!!!) and they actually work as intended. Its really really awesome.

Thats a Jag problem, not a rain sensing feature problem. My Audi has rain sensors, the windshield costs marginally more than the non-rain-sensing version.

Recycling doesn’t mean they turn it into brand new 10k OCI capable oil stocks. It goes into secondary or tertiary uses. Just because the lightly used oil is recycled, doesn’t mean its not still wholly wasted. I will continue to do 8-10k oil changes in my car (I do it yearly because my mileage isn’t that much) and…

Seattle huh? Do you go on the Leavenworth drive? There is always a cadre of V10 BMW folks, good lord those engines....

So, you’re saying because narcissism exists, that the constant societal objectification of women is just fine?

Does she like it becuase she gets paid to be objectified by a predominantly male audience? Or does she like it because she gets paid to go to an F1 race?

Yup. Actually, by my office we have a flotilla of junker RVs with people living in them, but my office is in a random commercial/industrial area so its not super visible.

I feel like you’re glossing over some details here to make your point, however I know very little about this matter so I’m going to just say that...

Yes! The term “12s” is more derogatory than anything else around here. You’re calling someone a bandwagon fan basically.

“Russ’ defense apparently hates him, but he’s the only guy worth a crap on the team this year (I’m sure the 12s are rushing to tell me how wrong I am right now).”

You may be onto something there.

Pack of car dorks?!

Oh thats definitely true. We’re very progressive until it requires actually sacrifice, then its full-on NIMBY.
