I don’t doubt the price, but you often have more options than your SA is willing to admit. For instance, you can buy a new differential for $1487.33. Even at $200/hr labor, you’ll come in at half the $5k you spent replacing a seal.

The big sucker move is paying them to replace control arm bushings when the cost of…

Ahh, so it was well before the corner. Yeah, I see it now. Thanks!

I don’t see VET moving while breaking into the corner. He looked like he followed the racing line. Can someone clarify? I just don’t see it.

What kind of an asshole cameraperson films a dog about to be rallied on?

“Somewhat” isn’t the same as doing. I was like you, too. And then I tried it. It’s much harder than you think and track experience isn’t going to help you. And it’s a lot of fun. You really should (formally) try it.

Be honest, have you tried either?

If you’re in the Californa area (north or south), check out drift101. Don’t knock drifting until you try it. It was eye opening and a bit like heroine. Since doing it myself, instead of ebaying for racing junk, I’ve been ebaying for drift missiles lately.

OK, I’ll bite. A BMW really is a piece of garbage to a car flipper. To a car flipper, any car they can’t make a profit on is garbage. So, really, it should be more like

In my experience, gross people cite this now debunked myth to justify why they don’t wash their hands after using the bathroom. Also, gross people need a further qualification that to “wash” ones hands, soap is required.

This means it will take you forever to pay off your car and you will risk being upside down on your loan.

I remember the gear selector having enough slop on the cars I drove (i drove 2 SHOs, the gen1 and the gen2) that missed shifts were fairly normal.

Oh and the brakes! Stock taurus brakes IIRC. I think the rears were drums even.

I haven’t driving the new one. But I have driven the old one and I remember being really impressed. That motor revs forever. The gear box is... a 90s Ford manual draped in cheap (cracking) plastic and the clutch has a fairly vague connection to the flywheel. That is to say the gear box was not the selling point of the…

Aren’t these similar to the cheap LiPo batteries that are starting fires in “hoverboards”? I’d be very wary leaving one plugged -in while unattended or in a hot glovebox. That much energy in such a small package isn’t something to be taken lightly.

I’m not sure that’s true. Water in the manifold sounds like bad news.

3 decades? That’s it? First, you make me sad because you’re probably my age. I was hoping people like you would meet your supposed maker before me leaving the rest of us in peace even for a little while. Second, that’s a shame because pink probably looks great on you scowl and all. And lastly, id imagine closets get…

I think that line of thinking would be prudent for us plebs who need the paycheck to, ya know, live. But if I had money to burn, I'd give zerofux too.
