You keep saying that everywhere else does it better than the US but did you do to think that maybe we like it this way. When I was working in a shop, and even now as an owner of a commercial property maintenance company, I couldn’t stand using someone else’s tools. There no way for me to guarantee the quality or how…

When I was 14, I would wash my mom’s 87 Isuzu Impulse turbo RS just so I could take it to the top of the driveway and back. Good times

It’s pretty reasonable, about $600 a year. Though, in fairness I get a multi car discount (3 other cars on the policy), I’m limited to 5000 miles a year and it has to be parked inside a garage.

I to want to believe in the good of other people. I’m hoping it’s not fraud. It is possible that the car was insured for a declared value but we all know that the amount to build a car is way more than the actual value. Case in point, my 79 BMW is insured for a replacement value of 10k but I have probably 3 times that…

So now it’s Toyota drivers are the worst? I’m glad us BMW drivers can finally turn that title over to someone else.

Heh heh, my tires are only $60 a piece. I can burn them off all I want and it won’t put me in the poor house. My wife’s m235i on the other hand.....

I totally agree. It reminds me of the episode of BoJack Horseman where BoJack tells the Navy Seal that’s he not a hero for just being in the military. And as such, calling someone a hero just because, cheapens it for all the people who are justified to be called one.

About 10 years ago, I was riding my zx6r to Vegas from Reno in the middle of summer. As it’s difficult not to do, I was cruising well above the speed limit on hwy 95 and didn’t think about fuel mileage. Well, zx6r’s don’t have gas gauges or even lights so when I had to switch to reserve about 100 miles out from…

My E21 may not have the filter on top but it’s still pretty easy to get to.

True, since throttle bodies tend to refer to fuel injection.  But since each DCOE (or IDA) is essentially two totally separate carbs just housed in a single casting feeding a single cylinder each,  they are as close to itb’s as a carbureted engine can get.

Which is almost exactly what I said.

Cutting springs had absolutely no bearing on whether or not you need to purchase that Hunter machine. And I mean that in the sense that, if you cut the springs you’ll need an alignment. If you don’t cut the springs, you’ll still need an alignment. Cars just need alignments

Shocks don’t work like that. It doesn’t matter if the shock is compressed or extended, they will still do their job of dampening the oscillations of the spring. Yes, if you cut a spring too far, it will cause the shock to bottom out giving that bumpy, crappy ride, But cutting the spring is really no different than…

This is from a year ago but a few things are changing this year. I don’t like the headlights and thinking of adding an Alpina style air dam to try and match the valance under the rear Euro bumper

I agree, I’m partial to the e21 myself but I may be biased.

The set for Back to the Future 3 was built and filmed just outside Jamestown CA. My friends and I had the chance to ”tour” it late one night not long before a fire rampaged through the area. I even had a picture of us climbing to the top of the clocktower, but that’s been long misplaced.

Honestly, the DMV is under no obligation to accept the pennies as payment. They could have legally sent him away to come back with cash bills. It’s a common misconception that a business is required to accept a particular bill or coin. Just because it’s legal tender doesn’t mean they have to accept it.

I think you mean Tuolumne county because the city only has 1779 residents. I used to live there so I should know.

From what I can remember of the other kids, I guess I was that car guy. My senior year book said I’d be most likely to start a magazine that’s a cross between Hot Rod and Playboy whatever that means. I had a 72 Vega with a SBC till I wrapped that around a tree, busted for doing burnouts behind the auto shop in my 69…

Oh, OK, I understand now. Sorry.
