That's why they stone women in her homeland.

The 4 door 318i of 1990 was advertised with a base price of $19,995, which was pretty attractive but involved plastic wheel-covers, lots of dummy plugs including ones where the fog-lights belonged, and blowing profile gaskets dumping engine fluids onto the driveway.
When the 318ti hatchback was offered, the base models of the 4 door sedan and coupe were also 318 models with 4 cylinder engines in the US. At the moment, the 4 cylinder US market BMW is the Mini Cooper. Pretty soon though, we'll be getting FWD cars with 4 cylinder engines that wear the BMW badges that people who…
You really had to see the 'safety' cars at Long Beach. I think the engines and exhaust were stock, because you couldn't hear them coming, but they were amazingly fast through the curves and fast enough down the straights that I couldn't check out the brake modifications through the lightweight wheels. I don't think a…
You chose the right continent to specialize in. The ugly truth is that Toyotas and Hondas are no story cars. You don't have to address any issues created by pig headed engineers. You don't have to replace accessories before 200K miles. You don't have to say that a K series would be recognized as a great engine if…
@tonyola: I had an '85 Jetta. In less than 100K miles, it had a new A/C system, new half shafts, new struts, a blown heater core, broken engine mounts, alternator, and probably some things I'm blocking. The VW shop I took it to had special tools for dealing with most of the problems, as they reassured me that 'they…
I'd drive a new Camry. Not only are they fast, reliable, and efficient; there would be no witnesses. The pace cars at the Long Beach Grand Prix were Camrys. I'd love to know what modifications they had. They just whispered around the track between sessions, at a pace that few of the touring car classes could have…
@The Vanishing Boy: That's a great choice. Honda should start selling CR-Ks, tomorrow.
@dean_acheson: If you must buy a Raptor, don't buy a used one!
@obscure_animal: Don't play on the stupidity of less informed people? Who else is going to buy a Leaf, a Volt, or global warming?
QE stands for Quantitative Easing. It is the name of the central banking practice of printing money by 'buying' government bonds and other financial instruments. QE2 is the name of the Fed's recent adventure in printing hundreds of billions of dollars to stimulate the economy without increasing the debt quite as…
Your Voyager will probably be worth half a million dollars not too long after QE4 takes effect. A week after the Voyager breaks a half million bucks, that will be almost enough to pick up 12 pack of Diet Coke. See you at Mecum!
I drove three 2008 Suburbans with RWD and 5.3 liter engines. They were the last of the 4-speeds admittedly, but 12 mpg was about all they were good for on 'Nitrogen Charged' Shell gasoline. They were FFV and would have struggled to hit double digits on E85
If someone stepped out of their drag racing Suburban and pronounced that the common herd needed to use fuel more sparingly, only complete dolts would listen to what they had to say rather than paying attention to their monstrous hypocrisy. I'll leave it to you to try to figure out who you are in this analogy.
I used to drive 3 Suburbans that looked just like that one. 12 mpg is a pretty good idea of what they return in a metropolitan area like DC. Real facts are never in Ray LaHood's favor.
Unless the girl with the gargantuan red scarf is a midget, that is a cartoonishly huge roadster! It looks like a 1.5 scale Z1 that's been vandalized by Dreamworks.
MTV/WCC had his Buick for 6 months! Part of the reason he ditched his mobile juke box was that he'd been spoiled by driving a modern rental car for half a year. In a world full of reasons to be cynical and jaded, it is still amazing just how staged MTV reality shows actually are.
Great! Now these tacky bastards have more money to spend on ugly garbage!
@You probably won't like me: Maybe she thought it had run-flats.
