Nice job leaving out all-season tires- you know, those things that a good half of the country’s population puts on our cars. :-P

Which, btw, are perfectly adequate when coupled with AWD and basic driving capabilities:

Hmm....fast cars....police presence...unexpected expenses...erratic arm waving...accusations of ‘crossing the line’...

Yep. Caswell’s been here.

I’m sorry, I completely lost my shit at 0:36.

“MY PRECIOUSSSSSS! GIVES US BACKS OUR SSPECTRE SONGSESSSSSS!”

I had pretty much the exact same thought process while watching the movie.

This needs be on this list as well.

Really? Wow! Small world, haha.

And 151 at the wheels? Nice! You’re pushing similar figures as my Mini with way more drivetrain loss. What do you have under the hood?

Actually I’m pretty sure I HAVE seen you around. =D

Potholes = NEW apexes.

I LOVE THAT ROUTE!

Me and my buddies hit it a least a half-dozen times every year. =D

P.S. - Nice to know there’s another Jalop in Greenville. If you see this little number around town, give me a wave:

Well, I mean, if the only way I could make money was to drive a Camry, I’d probably kick some faces too.

I’d take the Club Edition (Dat LSD!) in Meteor Grey Micah and a 6-speed manual.

This is why the folks who organize our local Cars and Coffee used the money raised from selling t-shirts to hire a police officer to hang out at the exit of the show in his cruiser to make sure everyone arrives and leaves in a responsible manner. After the first few tickets were handed out, people finally got the

You want burble, crackle, and pop? Just delete the massive resonator off the supercharged R53 (2001-2006) generation of the Mini Cooper S. Not only will you shave off about 20lbs of excess exhaust weight, you’ll be welcomed by a wonderful cacophony such as what happened when I recently deleted the resonator off mine:

I just did a brake flush. My pads and rotors are fine. I don’t need any bodywork. My A/C is working well. Oil change is due in another month (I’ve got to replace a crank sensor seal before then, but that’s 2 hours and a $2 part). Belts are all good (I keep a close eye on my supercharger belt and serpentine belt).

I actually loved the Avalon (especially the V6) when I used to be a salesman for a Toyota and Scion dealership.

I was the only one under 50 who did.

Little known fact:

If you move the radiator to the back, you can fit an Eaton M45 supercharger from an R53 Mini Cooper S and a turbocharger from an old Saab to a Justy and drive what sounds like a dentist drill.

Awesome, now let us forward directions to Waze. Google owns Waze anyway, so why isn’t this an option? Also, does this support custom routes? And when will custom routes become an option for Waze, dammit?

My R53 Mini Cooper S makes just under 170hp and just 0ver 160ftlb of torque. It feels plenty quick enough and easily falls into the sweet spot for me in terms of power.

However, I used to sell Scion FR-S’s quite frequently and you know what? The Cooper S, while slightly heavier, feels quicker than an FR-S even though
