That engine bay looks a bit rough for a car with 5118 miles. It looks more like 50k miles. I'm not even referring to the rust on the headers and turbo, just the general amount of dirt and crumbling hoses. To each his own, I guess. I love the car, and was hoping to see a nearly pristine engine bay for mileage that low.

He missed a good Oportunity to route that intake up in between the humps on that roadster cover. Forget the "fuck you", and get some wicked ram air action going on back there. But, I have no doubt that this is a deadly machine without the modern electronic nannies that Porsche uses to keep their cars from leaving the…

It's pretty damn close. I got BMW M5, which I would not turn down. I would not want the current gen model, because I keep cars forever, and that thing reeks of expensive out of warranty repairs. I can just imagine that the electronicaly controlled differential will cost to fix, not to mention so many other parts of…

The single best thing to know is other flights that are leaving after yours, on both the airline you are using, and other airlines as well. Almost every delayed or cancelled flight I have encountered was resolved in minutes because I was able to tell the agent exactly what flight(s) to book me on as an alternative. By…

Those were former Continental employees, most likely. Continental was the best airline to fly on IMO, and their employees were great. It is a shame they merged with a company with the complete opposite corporate culture.

I stayed in a friends flat in the Chelsea area of London over Christmas last year. There was one late night bar that was popular with many foreigners in supercars, many with diplomatic plates. One night we were returning home at 3:30am, and there was a Ferrari sitting in the street in front of this bar, not in a…

The same kind of idiots who leave comments about driving a LaFerrari and a Porsche 918, and they feel the 918 is a better car, and it turns out that their "driving" was in a video game. In other words, "I have drifted in a Jeep on my PS4, it's not that hard!"

This is why we can't have nice things!

How did this become only the Lacrosse BC1000? You listed it in the voting as the BC700/1000. Now it is listed as one model?

That poor original owner. That is a hell of a depreciation hit. I would be sick if I took a hit that big. We were discussing this once on the e46 forum i participat in. Someone asked if there were any original owners left on the site, and there were a few. I felt bad for them. One guy in particular had a car that had…

I was coming in here to post the same thing!

I'm laughing so I don't get executed via mortar shell, like that other poor bastard I read about on the banned websites. "Just keep pretending that he is the funniest person I have ever met!"

The LaCrosse BC 700 is a good compromise in price between dumb chargers and smart chargers that are much more flexible. At $40 it offers a lot of options that even some higher end models don't have. It can rescue older rechargables that have stopped holding a charge, and make them useful again. In the rescue mode, it…

I don't know if the design is boring and stale, but the engine is. It was a disappointment in a world where a basic sedan has 200hp, 300hp cars are not unusual, and 400hp is the starting point for an exciting sports car (with the Miata being the exception, and it really is underpowered as well). It should have had…

I'm just trying to imagine my fellow players reactions if someone had proposed doing something like this on my high school football team. If someone had said "Hey guys, you know what we should do? We should grab a freshman, turn out the lights, and stick our finger up his ass! But it won't be gay or nothing, because…

It was a genius system back in 1997 when Saab (IIRC) was using solenoids to actuate the valves! It has been "Just around the corner" since at least the mid 90's, but it would not surprise me to read about it being tested in the 80's or even the 70's. It is very attractive idea, but reliability issues seem to plague…

The thing I do not understand about these commercials, and so many others, is that you are supposed to identify with the guy in the commercial. You should be able to imagine yourself in his place. But where is the average guy here? We have a maintenance manager for a giant bridge who reaches into a giant electrical…

Well, "Fixes a car guy" is not only going to have scalding burns to his face and hands, he is alsot going to die of thirst in the middle of the desert because he did nothing to address the reason why his car was out of water in the first place, he also is going to overheat his engine because plain water is not an…

Oh yeah! The comercial with a bunch of ridiculously well toned old white chicks who look like they have a gas powered vibrator shoved clear up to their tonsils! My wife laughs at that one all of the time. She said thay make it look like the pills get you off without needing a man around. Of course, the Viagra…

I have a UV flashlight and checked my license out with it, and the holograms are barely visible at this point. It is hard to discern if the pattern is legit or not. But I use it to fly at least every other month, and no one has ever even commented on the degraded quality. My UV light is about 3X the size and intensity…
