I think part of the first change was buying it off the person selling it and sticking with bimmers recommended oil since iirc, theres a certain certification on the oil that they've only handed to castrol. I'll have to see what he's doing with his next m3. Another commenter also brought up the LM 10w-60 as an option…

If auto shop was available at all, its still a choice you made for yourself to not take it. Though at the time it may not have seemed that important. Depending on where you live, some people may never own a vehicle in their lives (it's possible here), so making auto shop mandatory wouldn't make sense. However, its…

Not on this list, but really should be up there or at least under education. Join an enthusiasts club for your make/model. I may not have a timing light, but someone else sure did and helped get mine straightened out after a slightly botched TFI replacement. They normally have a buy and sell for cheap used parts, or…

My friend is a mechanic, it still cost him over 100 bucks to do the oil change on his M3 just due to the specific oil it takes (10w60) and the premium costs associated with it. I won't comment on tires since I know he put tires better than what he needs on, but in any case, tires can get expensive on any vehicle given…

Man, I had that problem too...serves me right for taking home ec instead of auto shop :P

oh, fuck any and all of these

If just being a pain in the ass to pop off and back on is enough to qualify, sounds like half the exits on the 427 here in Toronto. Some are fine, some will pop you off on a side street that you didn't know existed prior to getting off there.

Your comment is so uninformed, you could work for Fox News.

I preordered the special edition xl out on the 27th for this game. I've been holding out but was going to buy one for this game no matter what.

Yeah...with all thats been done for making sure I could get it imported and just other wear and tear pieces going, it was working out to about 180/month in repairs/maintenance costs. If I had anything major go (transmission, timing chain, etc) then thats a year of car payments hitting in an instant.

Geez that sucks :( I literally traded my car last night for a 2013 Fusion, so I'm hoping to escape any major repairs (GTA drivers willing) for a number of years. I have this half feeling like I might have lost 4th last night driving to the dealership, but I'm gonna chalk that up to paranoia unless I get an angry phone…

I see stuff pop up on wpcentral from time to time, like http://www.wpcentral.com/nfc-interactor… I think some of the limitations are in what MS has opened up in the MS from the looks of that app, but, some stuff (like opening here drive and other apps) should be ok since Nokia already does that with its wireless…

That explains why I can't place them mentally :P And I dunno, nothing about the fossils in 4 really made me want to take a second look at them. Maybe theres something on smogon or something that should make me care, but I never get that far into competitive battling.

I still use Aerodactyl regularly, but, it's always been a solid pokemon if you can get past the weaknesses. I'll agree that past gen 1, most of the fossil pokemon are pretty forgettable till 5. I can't even think of 2's, 3's is horrid, 4's is just kinda forgettable

I'm not sure if it counts to say a car looks better than pictures if you have to slap a body kit on it or at least enough exterior mods to fix the original design. I can agree that you COULD make a sn95 look alright, but based on stock, NOPE, its terrible. I'd sooner defend the Mustang II.

Element should be #1 for this. Seriously, no picture does the car justice in how awesome they actually are in person. Pictures make it look like an abomination of Aztek proportions, but in person, really not a bad car, in actual use...just bloody awesome.

Actually, I still think it looks ugly in person and the slight redesign for 99-04 helped a ton with making it look right. the sn95's always make me cringe to look at them.
However, I am a biased foxbody owner.

Generally fossils are chosen by the player, so you get one, but you (read: everyone) can pick tyrunt and have to trade for the other one no one cares about.

well, that is part of the definition of the rule.

I've used it for engine braking on an impala rental I had when I was driving down a mountain in the winter to help save my brakes in case I needed them.
