Tell me about it haha.

Drive everyday in the Bay Area at a following distance greater than stopping distance + reaction time.  Cars slipping ahead of me doesn’t affect how quickly I’m going to get where I’m going.  

My dude, please note that I am talking about the S-IVB. The third stage of the Saturn V. Which was used for final orbital insertion and trans lunar injection. ISS is massive, and very very low. Moving that fucker up into lunar orbit or to any particular Lagrangian point would take a massive amount of fuel. Plus you’d…

If we can successfully develop a single-stage lunar landing vehicle (which shouuuuuuld be physically possible), then it could be made fully re-useable by refueling at an orbital station.

That would take a massive rocket. The ISS is HUGE. Like, 10 times the weight of what the Saturn V sent to the moon. So think about how much bigger the tank and engine would need to be than the S-IVB. Now, think about how big a rocket you’d need to lift THAT into orbit.

Those snorkel masks are super dangerous.  They cause CO2 buildup and then you pass out and drown.

Its a pretty car and I like the interior and even the way they drive.  I’m glad I owned one.  But I’d be happier if I never ever ever did.   Run my friend. 

Weird how they get here just as well in a truck that’s not using a 30-year-old engine that pollutes 10 times as much. We’re talking about trucks. They’re not a scarce resource. I’m not dependent on glider kits being sold. That entire industry could be shut down and as an end consumer my wallet and I won’t even come…

You should really feel a 26 horsepower bump in this car.  Good stuff. 

Good.  Fuck these things.  

Oh yeah check under the dash/passenger carpet for coolant...heater core pipe O-rings on these tend to go.

How are they planning to sell this and the iM? Or is the iM being discontinued?

A 90s BMW than a 2010s BMW?

Plus the Q50 interior has more in common with a Crown Victoria than a German luxury car. 

Wish I had known they were worth so much I’d have taken them off the car before I bailed and replaced them with the cheapest things I could find.  My car was a FWD though so I think everything was much more common for the rear suspension since its totally shared with mazda 3, focus, S40/C30, etc. 

I paid a bit less for mine but unloaded it to carmax so that was rough..they offered me my absolute, lower than that walk-away floor price that I had calculated haha.

Also look out for a rattle-y throwout bearing.  Listen to car idle in neutral with the window down and push clutch in and see if the sound changes at all.

Mine had konis and some aftermarket springs.  

Try FCP Euro.
