Cannot be unseen.

Do it on jack stands on a driveway in March. Hyperbole? Yeah, you don't wrench do you.

Add 8 and 16mm sockets in standard, star, inverted start, and inverted hex and you still don't have everything for my BMW.

Still waiting for Tanner's testicles to descend. That voice when he squeels like a girl.... eeessh...

Ya know, I wonder what would happen if we were to play it forward and teach at least 1 person to drive stick. Almost everyone I know already knows how to row their own (maybe not gracefully) so I haven't gotten to test out my experiment. I think once someone learns, they'll find it fun enough to at least entertain…

beatings are fine. It's the lack of meticulous maintenance that does them in.

200k miles on that one. yeah, i figured it had to be up there. Service records are nice though. But that motor... I'm so tempted because of that motor but with 200k on the clock, can you trust it?

At $10k this car is likely beat to crap. The forums regularly see this in the 15s or higher for unmolested and well maintained examples.

How different mechanically is this car to an accord? (im not flaming, just curious)

That sounds like Bill Caswell's. Google him. I think his site has pics of all of his crap can rally cars.

Given that tow yards are usually patrolled 24hrs a day and under surveillance, what would prevent a person from otherwise getting in their car and driving it away from the tow yard? I mean in ideal circumstances where there is no secure tow yard with surveillance.

Reiterating what's already been said here but I think we're only second to Japan for marginal tax rate. Basically we get nothing for free AND pay more for the privilege. Unless you're a Romney. Then you're skirting by on a 9% tax rate and the world is your oyster.

This. This is amazing. Well said sir. All of it. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.

"If it's any consolation for Lewis refusing to put a ring on it, Nicole, Bernie did the same thing with this year's F1 schedule, too. #totessad"

Babies have to wait up to a year before they can get the MMR vaccine IIRC. This makes them susceptible for their first year. In this case, you want to avoid all children without vaccinations until you can get your kid vaccinated. The belief is the majority of children > 1yo are safe to be around, but the anti vaxer…

I think the trans depends on your requirements. If you want to go fast, sure, like AMG, DCT is the way to go; no question there. DCT has auto modes on passenger cars, so, yeah. Makes sense if you want to be competitive.

But if you want to have fun, I whole heartedly disagree. I find the row-your-own super…

If you slip out early, I'm seriously game. I'm working from home, have full tank, and rear tires on my E90 that are on their way out.

ORLY?! I'll have to drive through at night and scope the place out. I always figured teenagers wouldve spoiled the fun long ago so cops would just show up if a car were to drive through at night.

Wonder what it's doing in Alameda. The airstrip is pretty rutted and full of debris and vegetation. It's also the opposite of private since it's in clear view from the bay bridge. I'm super curious. I've totally considered driving over there, slipping through one of the open gates, and hooning the hell out of the…

Unless you were WOT in 3rd through a rally stage for 5k of those 20k miles, I'm sure you didn't do as much mechanical damage as you might think. Consumables are toast, sure; shocks, bushings, brakes, all fluids, belts, etc. But 2, 3, or 4 grand later and those are a non issue.

I'm not going to remind you about dealership service labor rates bordering on larceny. And I have yet to find a dealer that will service my car while I wait vs taking all day and perhaps some of the next for something as trivial as an oil change. I have no love for dealers or their lack of customer service.
