2001 e46 325i with 190k bought new. Fixing it got expensive so now I do it all myself. I can troubleshoot problems quickly now. If it ever gets in a bad accident I'll probably buy it back as lemons material.

COTD!

Oh lord, even if that gearbox is twice as good as a smart, it's a total POS. Cool segment otherwise!

I expect my kid to follow through with a whole season, be on time and ready, go to all practices, and try their best. quitting midseason wouldn't be an option.

West Seattle gotcha covered!

And since I live in Seattle it'd be a sweet ass hydro, uh, non-burner?

Yes, but 4,798 sparklers duct taped together destroys the rest. And anything near it.

+whoosh

I feel like deadspin regulars should just give "whoosh" instead of +1.

How do they work?!?

For sure, the owner's going to have quite a liability birden on his hands. It's sink or swim time for him. I'm glad the weather wasn't fowl and that everyone escaped the swamping.

I watched this thinking, oh, no way the bro-hate is THAT justified, and I turned it off after 1:30. It's brodacious.

There's other threads about the book but I thought I'd put it here so you'd see it - if you're done with this book, find a little free library nearby (http://www.littlefreelibrary.org/) and exchange it for something else! Don't throw it away or rip out pages!

Congratulations! There's nothing quite like the satisfaction of conquering something like that. I really respect your dedication. Have fun with your 'new' car.

That was didn't-miss-a-beat-good. I enjoyed it.

Is that really that outstanding? Or maybe just a 'normal' thing for a straight-six? the S54 (BMW) made anything from 320-360hp on 3.2L. Heck, my e46 2.5L made 189hp new, 75/L, and that's a super common engine.

Wow, I want one of those!

Yes. This is so annoying.

The Saudis have a different definition of sidewalk skiing than I do.
