It looks like the headlight cluster is shaped differently, which might pose a problem for DOT legal lights.

Don't know about newer MINIs, but my 02 has a little arrow inside the fuel gauge icon

There are already a few standards right now, Zigbee and Z-Wave seems to be the most widely supported and developed ones currently available.

Do many carriers charge MMS messages as data? All the carriers I have used in the US only count them as MMS

Initially, the Leon one reminded me more of the pig, but the glasses make more sense.

As much as I love all the cars on this list, my heart will always lead me to the 540i or more likely the ZHP. But I am always left disappointed by the lack of a limited slip dif.

I don't know how they do things up in Evanston, but as a Chicagoan we help our neighbors when it snows.

I got 6300 on my 3rd run, it's all about button mashing and timing your jumps.

As far as corn goes, just leave the husk on and put it in the microwave. It does a much better job of keeping the steam in for perfect corn on the cob.

Aftermath of what happens when the Kool Aid Man comes to visit

For that money I'd rather get some Race Ramps (less jacking, fewer moving parts) or these JackPoint stands (fewer moving parts, same amount of jacking, wheels on or off)

There are probably more options out there, maybe you can get an x5, two of these with some matching 256GB SD cards for a 512GB jukebox. Not sure if that would work though.

Looks like the snow is back

I haven't had any issues connecting one phone to multiple BT devices, but of course that depends on your phone. I wouldn't use my main phone as a HUD though, I'd rather use an old phone or a cheap new one.

Get a knockoff Bluetooth OBD-II scanner ($10-30), an app with a HUD feature like Torque ($5, others free to $100) and a cheap Android phone. You can configure it however you'd like depending on which features your car supports. You should be able to get speed and revs on most cars with OBD-II. On some cars you can…

I don't know about luddite, is preferring a manual transmission being a luddite? I can't stand touchscreens in cars either, but I am looking forward to this. I used to think I would never want this type of system in my car, but more and more every drive I take, I play music through my phone and use Waze for traffic…

I haven't rented many tools because they often cost more than buying a tool for the duration of the job. When I can't borrow a tool for free, I try to buy used tools from Craigslist or eBay. When I'm done, I flip it and usually sell it for around the same price, sometimes more.
