Because fuck assholes that think the road is their own personal playground.

The execution was childish. I think maybe it was a translation saying that they didn’t meet Mazda’s standards for how good a car should be. Or maybe that they’re too rambunctious for the brand they’re building. Either way I don’t think he was shit talking the cars they made, just describing why they don’t fit the…

Yeah, I mean my avatar image is my old S60R, so... Anyhow for me it’s the fact that 95% of Americans that drive SUVs should be driving wagons (because wagons do everything their SUV can do, better).

Which also comes in a wag... oh, it doesn’t? Carry on.

LOL I bought my 01 (same as an 03) M5 with 57000 miles for 22... That’s a stupid amount of profit. Then again, I have mine for sale now and their prices only help!!

What source do you use for Mini parts? I’ve had a hell of a time trying to source things for our ‘75.

Unless you’re in a rental car, then you should do all of these (except #1 and 4).

Oh, nope, still gray. Darn.

I think this will be 3 years old right around the time my wife and I plan on having kids. I think that would be a perfect time for her to get rid of her WRX for something a bit comfier. She’s got her heart set on a GLK350 for now though. They will likely be about the same price at that point, with the Jaaaaaaaag a bit…

Cylinder liner, not block, IIRC. Either way, yeah.

That’s just shameful that even the weak engine in the XC70 could fail that system. I think that part and the weak cylinder liners on the R were what caused me to move away from Volvo. First three cars were Volvos, none since.

That must have changed in the three years since I owned the car. Back then if one was foolish enough to try to do it at home, it usually took a solid two to four weekends and only had a 70% success rate. Basically everyone took it to a shop and forked over the $2400.

May I submit something a bit different...

Wait a minute, does this mean I’m not gray anymore? Shit yes.

So a few things for the buyer: This car probably has a tune (boost gauge), definitely has an aftermarket exhaust (which is why I think it has a tune), and also most likely no longer has AWD. The output collar from the transmission is a when, not if failure.

This is when I stopped watching.

Torque ratio is also something autocrossers use to pick a good car for street class, if you’re into that shit.

Tempted to sell mine as soon as I get it.

Me too
