2017 was good to me. My resolution was to do a trans swap in my E30 and I got that done by February. For 2018 I’d like to have my interior put back together, have the correct pedal/return spring in for the clutch, find out why my clutch engagement point is so high, paint my bumpers and install the new trim and then…

Fair enough. Musk responding to a tweet about future plans is innocuous enough, though I’m just saying that at this point in the game, I can see why anything besides good news about the Model 3 is going to frustrate many people who care. And bias aside, I totally get why Jalopnik reports on it. If nothing else for…

I can confirm this. I work at a Chevrolet dealership. Our oil change mileage stickers are set to 3,000 miles. While I’ve never looked in one of our owner’s manuals, I believe they call for 5,000 miles or 7,500. We also issue the same 3,000 mile interval sticker even if the customer uses semi-synthetic, synthetic or…

Frankly, I’m not bothered by Elon’s management of Tesla. I’m a supported of Elon, Tesla, SpaceX, and electric cars in general. I don’t mind Jalopnik’s constant reporting on anything remotely Musk/Tesla related. What bugs me though, is the comment section filled with people calling Jalopnik “tesla haters”, or “Elon…

There are a lot of us who are interested in the future of the automotive industry and electric automobiles in general. But think of this: I have a really good friend who has a little Ford project car that he bought from a mutual friend of ours. He has this Ford for about a year before the transmission breaks. So we…

Love this car, I would love to own it! But for like, half the price.

Well, you’re also just some guy on the internet, that train of thought is probably one reason in a myriad of reasons why you’re not an engineer at General Motors...

My 1/2 electric gun does the job with 700 lb/ft of torque lol

How about don’t contribute to the problem?

My best friend dated this girl in high school and her dad had a mint condition FD RX-7 that he kept in the garage. I only got glimpses of it until our freshman year of college when he had it in the driveway and was cleaning it. I remember it being damn near mint condition, and I thought it looked good, but I never…

I voted CP but it’s very close to the NP/CP line

Gas mileage means shit to me anymore. In 2015 I bought a 2007 BMW 335i that got 19MPG if I was lucky. 300-320 miles to the tank was to be expected, sometimes slightly more. I traded into a 2018 Chevy Cruze and I easily get 33MPG, which sounds great until I realize that I also get... about 300 miles to the tank... What…

It is like that though, because BMW and Honda and probably other makes are having trouble getting customers to come in for their fixes. Honda has actually resorted to knocking on customers doors to get them to come in.

I looked at the pictures :(

Man, I miss my ‘86 K10

The real issue with the E46 M3 comes from the rear subframe. They are subject to structural fractures, but can be remedied. Not cheap to do. Avoid those. If you choose a car with the SMG transmission, there is a hydraulic pump that is about $4000 to fix, and the convertibles have a similar pump thats about $3000, so…

I think this guy owns an Alfa lmao.

I will take all of his BMWs for almost no money please.

How is anything in this article hating on Elon

I knew I needed brakes, I’m genuinely surprised they didn’t try to sell me them. I also had some oil leaks. Both things I took care of at home, but knowing how most dealerships are, I expected a full sales pitch when I went to pick it up.
