You’ve never met my exhaust nuts. They corrode down to round in roughly the amount of time it takes for you to need to take them off again, but the bolts are made of inconel, which is basically uncuttable with normal tools. The OE ones were press fit and I had to get a mechanic to cut the bolt off with a torch then…

you buy a set of wrenches and a box full of 10mm. Then next year you go back and buy another box of 10mm after you lose all of the initial ones you bought. The 10mm gnomes are efficient thieving bastards.

The flattuce from the chili really helps get that extra push off when jumping. All serious figure skaters know it. Why do you think they play the music so loud? It’s to hide the sound of the skaters breaking wind on their triple axles. That’s why the skating rinks always smell like ass.

Because many(most?) people have a very strong biological drive to continue their bloodlines. It is unfortunate, but biological drives are hard to overcome.

If it’s anything like my e46, nothing goes through the roof. All my wiring runs down the sides of the unibody under the carpet/door sill interface. The bulk of the cabling is on the drivers side in a bundle about the size of your thumb. The only wires that run up the A pillars are for things in the roof, like the…

Ah yes, the Eagles are a team that is well known for abandoning their fans.

I drove a 1984 e30 318i with all of 102hp and manual everything(including sunroof) for the first 8 years of my driving career. It was likely slower than a Versa, but the interior was an infinitely nicer place to sit and it at least had some level of character. I would take a lifetime of driving that e30 over another…

Nowhere on any part of the website did they say a Versa was possible. And of course it was the only car left in that section of the lot. Never again will I rent one, I’d rather pay the cost to upgrade to the next tier.

Hi, I’m Jeff and I also secretly love the X6M.

I couldn’t live with myself knowing that I let a Versa go ruin someone else’s life. I’d set it on fire. Or drive it into the ocean. But I just wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I put that evil on someone else.

While I had the Versa, I had someone pull out in front of me while I was doing 80 in the left lane of the NJTP. He had for some inexpiable reason pulled off way into the grass in the median between the truck and car side to let a cop with his lights and sirens on past. He then proceeded to meander back into the left…

Even if I ignore the CVT, the rest of the car was just terrible. I get that it’s the cheapest car in America, but it doesn’t need to feel like it costs $5k less then it actually does. And the price does not at all excuse the horrid ergonomics. You can’t tell me adding an extra inch of width to the armrest would break…

I happen to know for a fact that an e46 with fold down rear seats will in fact swallow a 50" TV, as long as you remove the stand first. Doubt you could get the whole box in there, but it does fit the TV when it’s out of the box with the stand removed. I’ve moved a 42" and a 50" at the same time in my ZHP.

You say that, but next time go jump in a Versa. You’ll be ready to end it all in about 15 miles or so. I was forced into driving one for a week and it was the most miserable excuse for a car that I have ever had the displeasure of driving. And I’m not just giving it crap because I DD a BMW. I had a Malibu rental for a…

The only thing Medallions give you vs a non-medallion cab is the sole right to pick up street hails. Uber and Lyft don’t utilize street hails, so they are not and never have been infringing upon the monopoly of medallion holders. Prior to Lyft or Uber livery cabs filled that role, albeit not as well since they did not…

There are 13,605 NYC medallions. 11,787 of them were issued in 1937 for $10. The remaining 1,818 were sold at auction since 1996. If the city were to refund the medallions at cost, the initial 11,787 would only be worth $177.69 each, assuming the city was kind enough to factor inflation into the initial purchase cost.…

You know, I could even buy falling out of the top 10, maybe even top 20. Coming back from having a kid is no joke, my wife told me the other day that she just finally feels back to normal, and our daughter is just over a year old, and my wife is not a world-champion tennis player. But at the same time you can’t tell…

IIRC the Viper V10 had no crossover, so it’s sound was simply that of 2 out of order I5's.
