Mine was non-M but still amazingly fun. And you could put two full size suitcases (not the midsize, full size) in the hatch and have room for snacks and whatnot. It was a great car. MZ4C was more fun, but less convenient. Far less space.

God’s work.

Yep. I’m in a Volvo sedan at the moment but I’ve been looking at Z4MCs lately, which is how I know current prices. It is tempting but the car would now be 13yrs old, with more issues, and a good one is $35-45k. I got a pristine one for $27 ($15 after insurance payout on prior car), and it already had the rod bearings…

As Layn says (above - or below, depending on how kinja has parsed this conversation thread), by finding out if anything else happened. Is that a perfect investigation (where “perfect” here means knowing exactly everything that happened in this once instance)? No. But if others come out with allegations of similar…

That’s a good attempt at a burn. I guess.

I agree with you. I wish BMW would carve out its own segments, but that isn’t how the market works.

To be clear, this was back when no one cared about 2002s, and it was a very used car.

I’m officially an old and a BMW fan. Had some of their obscure cars (Z3 coupe and Z4MCoupe) and a 2002 in high school. But if they are only now breaking your heart, you have the tolerance and patience of a Saint. They lost my gaze years ago.

A witch!!!!!!!!

I don’t like the first one, but if something like that made it to the road I wouldn’t be entirely shocked (see: Lexus).

I am not discounting what people are saying as potentially useful anecdotes or opinions. But that is what they are. The issue I ran into on the prior occasion I mentioned was a lot of people saying things like, “backing in IS safer, there is no arguing the point, it is a fact.” When I asked for any studies showing…

Said it before, but you are putting out really amazing work, article after article. Please keep digging into interesting and important areas.

No sarcasm, that was a damn good analogy.

Please spread this fruit far and wide like Johnny or Johanna Forwardparkingseed. We need more people like you in the world.

A few years ago on the car-based sister site someone made a VERY similar comment to the OP above. The comment was by a woman who hated that her ex backed in everywhere. Unsurprisingly, the comments were all about how much better it is. Since I am an analyst for a living, I simply asked for the supporting data. Not a…

I wanted to say that, for a taste test, a bit more on the taste of each would have been useful. But I quickly realized that this is for a Mtn Dew-based energy drink, so... probably don’t need any more description. :)

Fair enough. I think the fried chicken should be juicy enough on its own. Pickles help. Butter on the bun helps. And other additions (which are more often on other sandwiches) like lettuce and tomato help.

How the sandwiches taste is certainly subjective, and to me both are good, but here’s how I come down on the side of CFA sandwich if I have to pick a winner. The mayo/sauce.

He also noted not to make a show of one’s faith, another instruction that these “Christians” love to ignore.

It’s not that liberal. And if HappyFunDad wants to go down rabbit holes trying to pick apart verses, let him please feel free here. [And before someone says it, yes, historical context matters. But if “the christians” want to pick and choose and reinterpret things to fit their own discriminatory mindset, why do we…
