Per the dial on the left, you’ve actually got slightly MORE than 100% power reserve.

Digging through my mental filing cabinet, maybe it was the first folding metal hardtop with a sliding glass sunroof. VW had the exclusive on that for three or five years, I think.

Ah, duh. Of course.

Former VW Service Advisor here:

No mention of Nazis.

This reminds me of a story of a racer – I can’t remember who, but in my mind the setting was an 70s or 80s NASCAR ring – who crashed. When asked by a track-side reporter what happened, he replied with something along the lines of:

First car seen is a W124 500E/E500 from Copley Motorcars. It gets worse from there.

Sorry, but BMW didn’t make the nyloc that did its job perfectly. And regardless, quality-control, either for the hardware itself or the person/tool installing it.

My 1972 BMW had a large (22mm?) nyloc holding the steering wheel in place. It never loosened on its own in the 15 years I had that car.

Been a fan of Garbage for years, bordering now on decades. Finally saw them a few years back when they played Minneapolis. Amazing show, of course. So completely worth the wait.

I saw this at Target. My 8-year-old son popped the hood, and I think I said, “Whoa.” out loud.

Do we have any intel on what kinds of cars on which she is learning to drive manual?

Sadly. Despite Grand Am Girl’s airbag popping, the car lived.

My 1995 M3 was the best worst car I’ve ever owned. It was also the the worst best car. It was complicated.

Came here for some Leo/Hannah/Rabea.

Beat me to it:

The random aggressiveness I keep seeing from Infiniti G3x drivers in my neck of the woods makes me A: glad I drive a relatively inconspicuous BMW and B: bestow a hearty CP on this G37.

This is an upper-midwest thing. Maybe it’s a thing in other places, too, but I’ve really noticed it living in Minneapolis (after having lived in New England and California).

Is... is that a grease fitting?

This may have been asked already, but do we get an update on any of these? I kind of want to see Father Nic rolling around in his “new” 280SE 4.5.
