Retreat into your shell. Whine and cry the sky is falling. (Hmm you ever think it’s way easier for terrorists to let US slowly kill everything good about our country then they don’t have to do it themselves?) The rest of us will live our lives.

Please. Sorry you’re so important and yet a scared chicken. Live your life and quite your whining

I don’t see too many checkpoints in my daily life here in the US. Maybe you live somewhere different. But no reason to restrict things here due to what people do in a war zone.

Still, no reason to get everyone’s panties in a wad and start restricting peoples liberty here in the US. “Drones” are no different than a car or truck transporting a bomb in this case.

I’ve been doing the same for years, since before dealers even had an internet department. The last place I went though, when I got there, they handed me to a regular salesperson (they still honored the pricing, but it took longer than needed dealing with the guy)

He’s a giant piece of shit?

People checked this in R53 MINIs on forums years back. (Called for premium fuel) You could use regular and it didn’t seem to hurt the car and no major knocking was noted, it the engine was dumping more fuel and who knows what else to stop it from knocking and the gas mileage went down by more than enough to offset…

Got it.

It’s possible to make caller ID show any number you want. Can be from Joes Plumbing down the street, all ones, whatever. So they often spoof the caller ID number to be in the same area code the receiving phone is from to entice more people to answer.

We get those from Hilton periodically. And my wife travels for business and stays there a fair amount and we have for leisure travel also. We also get postcards. At least the Hilton ones (going by the postcards and some voicemails they’ve left) are basically advertising a timeshare resort they have a part of and they…

The do not call list still exists and you can sign up a mobile number as well. But, they’re not even allowed to call mobiles anyway due to another law. They just ignore it and many are scammers anyway so they’re just breaking one more law.

But it’s not even rude to hang up on a person who calls you randomly and won’t listen when you say no.

SI is a weekly so its 1/52 and they actually have had the option to not get the swimsuit issue for years if not decades.

The pop up video bubbles would be awesome. But that would require the Maria corporations to actually give a damn about something other than clicks or views right this second.

All fonts other than Helvitica and the many similar or copy sans serif fonts suck anyway. Speaking of fonts, why don’t you guys get with the aughts and ditch Times New Roman or whatever clone of that you use on this suite of sites? ;)

How about a used MINI Clubman? The newest version.

Will be interesting to see if they do that. Turbos fail at a pretty high rate, all things considered, so having it integrated would seriously impact repair ability. Plus you lose the ability to have so many different engine power ratings from one basic design.

Ha yeah. I’ve done it on old cars when I was in high school. Points and plugs for ever!

I have a 2017 Sportwagen with this exact engine in it. Didn’t realize they had done this with the manifold, but things people do to tune it makes more sense now. An ECU tune plus Down pipe from the turbo, bigger exhaust is quite popular. People also install larger turbos on them quite easily as well. It’s a very…

Yes. I’m amazed at the difference in city and highway real numbers in my Sportwagen.
