You also got to break even and receive no return on investment importing an E30 touring because of Oppo!

Rob - friendly reminder that the recommended service life on the LN bearings is 5 years; not sure when this one was replaced, but generally best to consider it a consumable item and do it and the clutch every 5 years.

It was oddly agricultural.

Germany: your automobile may not be a rolling deathtrap, flinging tetanus and syphilis at random passersby.

I can second their comment; I’m 6' and never came close to the furthest rearward position. Also didn’t have a problem fitting in the car with a helmet on. Torso to leg length always comes into play, but you’d likely fit just fine.

I think there’s a lot more variability in clutch life than you’re giving credit for there. 100k is a pretty typical replacement range, and there’s a plenty wide variety of wear life on clutches depending on the application and driver. There are cars out there with 60,000 mile anticipated clutch lives, but if you talk…

Spent a lot of time on trains and subways in Germany last summer during the heatwave; the hygiene habits are no better.

I mean, he doesn’t seem to actually want to do this, so doing so would totally be within the bounds of fair play.

100% agreed, actually considered doing this with my recent PC build.

1. There are a ton of companies who put together complete rigs; there’s generally at least one local in every market too. These guys are English but representative of what you find if you search around for a bit. https://www.vesaro.com/store/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=6

another told me that he’d tried doing it himself and admitted he’d cried when he cracked his frame.

I was big into 311 as a teenager, and phased out after Soundsystem or so. They’re more about the vibe these days and have lost the plot with the music, but that’s fine.

I did 500 miles in a 4-cylinder Cayman GTS from the Porsche Museum over the summer and while the lack of sound is atrocious for anything comming out of Stuttgart, it’s the power delivery that’s the bigger issue.

That doesn’t change the cost inputs to make a car in 2019 nor what will actually sell. Complaining about less buying power as a reason a car is too expensive suggests there’s significant excess margin on the table that Mazda is earning on the Miata, and boy, let me walk you through a public automaker’s 10-K and…

And significantly more car than it was in 1989. Which some moron will inevitably reply “but I don’t want more car!” which isn’t realistic in today’s auto climate, and also not true because it wouldn’t sell if it were less car, and also just go buy a $3k NA.

Touche

lol, go talk to the Europeans (who are getting this car) about markups and trying to buy anything vaguely limited production. The American dealership machine looks positively democratic in comparison.

It would be a great choice if they didn’t shit transmissions like you or I do bowel movements.

Jesus fuck, 5+ years of constant articles on this site bitching and moaning about the lack of stripped down vehicles and how modern cars are overloaded with price and weight-increasing amenities and this is the response when an automaker says “Hey, good idea!”

(I assume it happens yearly), since it’s a “big sports event.”
