And the one with the motor also knows where to stop get it closed. The one car I had with a manual crank sunroof also allowed just the rear of the sunroof to pop open. You achieve this by cranking past the closed position. The problem is that there's about two full cranks between when the sunroof stops moving to…

I'll square your double!

7.68K I guess....

Yeah, I think a lot of them are actually dealer installed at the request of the buyer just for the purpose of mounting different types of racks. So I think there's a market out there to make a better rack mounting system. Certainly there are some compromises made by using a trailer hitch to mount bikes racks?

They are also a spec car, so it's not much of a comparison. I watch F1 because of the engineering and creativeness involved. Indy has none of that.

The concern with the high nose is that crash structure is meant to take a lot of force, and as you can see, is right about driver's head height. During a side impact that nose is going right into the side of a driver's helmet and, in best case, causing severe head injuries, but in worst case causing decapitation.

A star for Ryan Stiles.

I had never seen the video before. What he added was a way for me to see it, and make stupid comments like the rest of us. This is the internet afterall...

Poorly researched? The guy was still "showing off" and being an asshat. Just because he fesses up to it doesn't mean it wasn't stupid.

I'm guessing there will be some rear suspension damage involved with that. As well as some front spoiler/splitter damage which you can actually see as it drives away, nothing major, but probably a several thousand dollar piece of molding being that it's an M car and not a normal 3/4-series.

Time to look into Ubuntu. Go ahead, hate on me, I can take it.

I've been completely overwhelmed by the Intel NUC that I got a couple months ago. It's tiny and quiet.

Hardly scientific, but I don't have the time. On www.carsforsale.com:

VW Beetles, various CJ Jeeps, 50s Detroit iron. Mid-70s BMWs and Mercedes. The problem is that only the Beetle was produced in greater numbers than the Vega. GM produced over 2 million Vegas...

I guess you don't need facts when you're nut swinging either. It's a not uncommon belief that the Vega single handedly doomed GM for the coming decades.

Now that's a price I can get behind.

The original 3-series was no slouch either you know..

For $7,000?! He can keep his GTI and I'll keep my money. Not sure what the market is on those things right now, but I wouldn't pay more than $4,000 for one in good condition. Hell, I bought a good-running-but-slightly dirty BMW e21 320is for only $2100 a couple years ago. I'd rather take the rear wheel drive even…

Answer: Because they're fucking awesome.
