Yeah, I had a 335d that needed to have the whole top end removed and cleaned/replaced at 30k miles. That puppy took 8 quarts of oil as well, but she was a diesel. I do have a 60k mile X1 right now that has only needed to coolant reservoir replaced. Of course the engine will probably blow up today now that I’ve said…

Well, he’s not wearing a tank top, sandals, or pulling wheelies, so he might just be inexperienced.

We used to get a new GX470/460 ever 3 years or so. It was the family’s main car. The current one is 5 years old and I don’t see us replacing it any time soon. Firstly it’s reliable as hell and tough as nails

He better watch out. That baby is pretty close to those open flames.

I’m glad I’m not the only who’s like, this is a story? That’s less than one Veyron.

A family driving around in a cargo van with lawn chairs and threatening their kids with beatings is pretty indicative of a variety of things.

My dad, brother, and I went on a roadtrip around the US when I was seven and my brother four. We spent the whole trip in the bed of my dad’s truck. He had a cap on it and we put a bunch of comforters in the back and screwed around the whole time. He had sliding windows on the cap and the rear window so we could climb…

Pretty sure the tire pressure only needs to be 1.5 psi off.

So you use quicklube places as your standard of quality. Nice. Also, most vehicles don’t have oil pressure gauges anymore. They have an “oh shit you’re out of oil” idiot light.

You should always do that. Sometimes you get a bad oil filter gasket or plug gasket, so it’s better to be safe and do a quick 10 minute check on such a critical component.This ain’t rocket science here, bud.

You need the oil up to temp to make sure the plug and filter aren’t leaking. That's common sense. I know that's what people usually do, but going the extra mile to make sure the job is done right isn't wrong. I go for a ten minute drive on all my cars/bikes after an oil change.

I was just fucking with you. Thanks. She's dead right now, but I just picked up a new tranny and engine for her.

Half the readership? Doubtful since half the people who buy into that shit probably can’t read and are too busy fucking their cousin to read Jalopnik.

Shit. How am I supposed to install that on my vehicles? Thanks Obama!

Renting track time to drive 83 mph? Are you insane?

You should always test drive a car after an oil change to make sure nothing is leaking.

I have two young children and a wife. You can definitely fit four people under six feet tall in a Abarth.
