I have gone to great lengths to keep my project car.

Supporting a friend's decision to build/rebuild/modify/etc a car should invoke the same logic as supporting your friend's decision regarding girlfriends/boyfriends/spouses/pets/etc. If it makes them happy, then by all means go for it. If it makes them miserable, poor, and lonely, then tell 'em to drop it.

Driving a manual in traffic taught me that sometimes it's worth suffering some extra annoyances for that brief window of glory. (And that it's easier to creep along in 1st gear and leave a gap in front of you instead of constantly feathering the clutch).

At the end of the day, it's just a car. An inanimate object on wheels. It's not special; rather it's the memories and the people behind and around it that are special. The car is just along for the ride, so to speak.

You should try motorcycles. They're like a psychotic alcoholic girlfriend that is just unbelievable in bed. You're literally propping them up all the time, they're constantly trying to fall over, if you let them stop they'll crash, and if you treat them poorly you're likely to receive serious injury. When everything…

Plus, while people support the direct model, the state legislatures aren't doing anything to enable it, even in supposedly pro-business, pro-free market states like Texas. And North Carolina is pushing legislation that would make it illegal for Tesla to bypass the dealerships.

I think you mean faux-cus air outlets.

Interesting article bro.

"Wait, you're telling me I'm being replaced?!"

I just realized that it looks like a Durango in front. What has been seen cannot be unseen.

I'd rather have a 5-series wagon.

Here is a nice one, the problem with working in marketing, and the popularity of Mad Men, I have clients asking for a "Retro Campaign." I like to pull out these old ads and ask them "Is this what you had in mind?"

Dude. Ronal Teddy Bears rule.

I'm sorry but these have got to be some of the coolest OEM wheels in history. The race-bred turbine caps can be swapped for gorgeous-looking throwing stars. Or leave the caps off altogether and rock the bare black 5-spokes!

better then literal wagon wheels i suppose

Anyone posting the teddy bears is clearly doing it wrong and can gtfac.

I must be too much of Tron fan but I kind of like that. Would I do that to one of my cars, no way Jose'

You didn't read my comment correctly.

I will grant that he does indeed appear to be quite reasonable in his responses, and I would agree that all things considered, he has something of a fair point with regards to asking BMW to show the customer the service that they are due.
