Some people would beg to differ. There are people who have driven/owned all iterations from the 911sc to the 3.2, 964, 993, 997 and they still prefer everything pre-997 when it comes to steering feel. I do not have as much despise toward the 996, other than the bad engine in the early years. The 996 GT3 is a whole…

I guess as an extension to that response, I should keep in mind that it's just a car, and if I'm unfortunate enough to have to deal with total loss, I will cross that bridge when I get there. No need to worry about something that might not ever happen anyway :)

Got it. Yes salvaged is the right term after a car has been declared total loss by insurance company and the owner decides to keep the car. I'm not too familiar with how the terms are used so :S I understand about your point of not advocating keeping a totaled car and having it salvage titled. I was just mentioning…

Well the thing is if the car is totaled, some states do not allow for registration of said car, and some insurance companies won't provide the coverage. I have never owned a car that's been declared total loss so...I'd give up 200kg just so that the bottom of the chassis is made of steel. This way, I would not have to…

Agree with you. The risk with buying the car is not with the build quality, but with what I wrote in response to the OP's first post.

I'm more worried about having the aluminum tub get "totaled" by sharp objects on the road than the glue not holding the car together. Stories of insurance company calling cars with such damage, as well as damage to the clam shell as total loss scare me enough to not want to roll the dice. Mind you I have driven the…

Don't know how you managed to find that, but thanks! Re-living the moment in glorious 1080p LOL

Aight well maybe I'll run into it online in the future haha

Got the original video link somewhere? Looked like some sort of eating contest.

Saw a post by another guy who insist on recommending the E46 M3 over the E90 version in the F30 M3 news article because it's cheaper to buy. When confronted with facts he pulled the douchebag calling card for another poster pointing out the tiny problem with the VANOS studs failing and killing the engine in the…

Why do people live in Winnipeg anyway. I've lived on the West and East Coast but they don't get anywhere near as cold as the Prairies...

So the moment you stepped out of the car there's a whopping 60 degrees Celcius drop?? OMG.

But the E wagon has more usable space behind the seats compared to the cts wagon. The cts wagon is more akin to shooting brake than a proper wagon in terms of roof height at the very back. Yes not enough to justify the 30k difference, but I'd take the E if both were used, in which case the prices would be much closer.

Wow, thanks for giving me that info about the piping sound for M3/4. Can't believe BMW would do it to their one sacred machine. I mean it's one thing to switched to forced induction, it's something else completely to use stereo for engine exhaust.

Cannot unsee. Dammit!!

I'm not dissing the next-gen mustang(omg term from kotaku haha), I'm actually really looking forward to how it'll compare in GT and the inevitable Boss form to the new M3. I agree it'll be a great battle.

Had to look that show up and in all seriousness, I don't find it funny to make fun of people with anxiety disorders. If you have that, my apologies for making fun at your expense. But if not, it is seriously NOT cool to make fun of people with such disorders, no matter how amusing they appear to people without such…

Probably because roads in the States in general suck a lot more than those in Europe. Blame that on the government from both parties for basically doing less than the bare minimum infrastructure maintenance/upgrade throughout the years.

They have a crapload of mustangs all the way to this year to modify and drive at drag strip. Finally the mustang is with the times. Now to see how much better it is compared to the f82 m4, with IRS in the back.

If you are able to keep the door open and manage to stare at the exposed fasteners while you're going at any speed, please let us know so that we can get a reporter from CNN(or take your pick of news entity) to do a special on you. They'd be hysterical!! Alas, I am one of those mortals who cannot accomplish such damn…
