Sheesh, I had no idea ECS was so unpopular! I’ve ordered quite a few things for my previous MINI and my current GTI over the past few years. I did notice that my most recent order took awhile longer than usual to arrive, but I didn’t think anything of it.

Thanks for sharing these fantastic photos!  I’d love to go to this show someday.

How about the fact that it has a shift boot, which covers the linkage, while also completely exposing the linkage.

Yes, the autos are Aisin, and the manuals are Getrag units.

(thermostats, water pipe, water pump, oil lines, oil filter housing gaskets, the plastic top of the engine, etc)

Baffles me how Ford is considered so close to junk status.

Seconded.  I had an R56, and my mother has an F57.  Mine was shit, hers is very much not shit.

At $115,000, should I just get used to the idea that I’ll never own a 911 in my life?

They are also stupid.  Looking at you, Aston Martin.

What you call, “Personality,” I call, “Hideous to the point of inducing vomit on sight.”  The Kicks looking more like its siblings is by no means a bad thing, in this case.

The Kicks looks infinitely better than the Juke.  The split headlight thing is a dumb trend that needs to die.  While you’re at it, Nissan, stop doing floating C pillars, too.

Now that’s a good idea!

I need to lose way more than 30 lbs, but thanks for the tip.

McDonald’s coffee is amazing.

Personally, I don’t think the coffee itself is shit. What’s shit is that the employees dump a gallon of milk and 5 lbs of sugar into each drink. No matter how you slice it, that’s shit.  Do the Starbucks thing and let me do that myself.

So are their, “Bagels.”

The cockpit is cramped. I’m only 5'11" and 195 pounds, and I was jammed in there. Particularly with my head and shoulders.

See, I’ve always had the opposite problem. In-ear headphones don’t stay in my ears even though they’re specifically designed to. They always back themselves out after a few minutes. The ones that take longer to do this end up hurting my ears big time.

Updoot for Eddie Izzard.
