What’s up with the massive amount of negative camber on the rear wheels of this generation X5?

It’s tough to find prices on construction equipment, and I doubt that these are sold in the states anyways.  But some google searching led me to a Chinese builder on Alibaba that sells mini-excavators for around $4k with supposedly free shipping, and I’m trying real hard to not impulse buy one of these right now.

Not counting the current car sales craziness. I know you can’t get the package on the LT1. Even at 46k, there’s still nothing that can touch it off the showroom floor. Mustang PP2 comes close but they’re let down by the weak MT82 trans and lack of rear diff cooling.

Camaro SS 1LE

Pretty sure I don’t have 2,000lbs of lead-acid batteries to start my ICE. Lead-acid batteries also aren’t nearly the fire risk that li-ion is.

Welll.. hate to say it, but it’s a 2k kayak. Jackson Bite FD. Of course, you cut the price in half if you get the version without the pedal drive.

While Sylvie being born a girl is seemingly what marked her as a variant, apparently there was some other mysterious “Nexus Event” that caused the TVA to finally show up to prune her when she was a kid. (Seems sort of inconsistent with how they’ve treated variants before, but sure!) So in addition to the question of…

If it’s an extra car and you don’t need it, now is the best time to get out. My Camaro was my 2nd car, and while I really loved it I had had my fun with it and wasn’t really planning on keeping it forever anyways. Vroom offered me 41.3k and it’s on their lot now. While I didn’t make money on it (tax, title,…

I dunno.. I’ve seen a few older ones around the $50k mark, which is low enough for the average McMansion owner to buy one for their spoiled kid.

Current gen base model Mustang / Camaro. For around 30k new you get 460 / 455 hp. Both rolling with 245 width all season tires on back, not even close to enough tire for the power. Hell, even my SS 1LE would easily break the 305's loose on the street.

And this is why idiots need to just turn the damn car off.

If you haven’t already, I’d recommend test driving a 2017+ Camaro SS 1LE.  Extremely fun, and it’s tough to beat a big ole’ pushrod V8 for instant torque and a great sound.

11 years and 200,000+ miles of MN winters and the ESOF in my Xterra hasn’t given me a single issue.

Sold the Cramro, so any track days will be as a spectator.  Thinking about heading to Road America for the IMSA / ALMS / whatever that race series is called now.

How’s reliability on the Cayenne? Any weak points to look out for? I’ve been casually looking to replace my daily driver Xterra, and that could be a fun option.

As someone with misophonia that’s particularly triggered by mouth sounds, these channels sound like my personal hell.

This got me to go down the autotrader rabbit hole a bit and I see there’s a 2007 CTS-V at a dealer near me, 115k miles for 18000.  I mean.. I don’t NEED it, but I also kinda do.

There’s really no excuse at a new car dealership.  I worked at bike shops for a while, and even though I was in service I could still go out on the floor and talk sales, and know what options we had for 90% of our stock.  And if I didn’t know something, I would say so and go look it up.  Not try to bullshit some…

I was offered 25k for trade in on my SS 1LE in March, ended up selling it to Vroom for 41.3k in May.  Glad I didn’t take that trade.  Of course, now I can’t find the truck I want at a reasonable price..

Some dealers are just clueless.  I was looking at ZR2's a few months ago, stopped by the dealer to check one out.  For some reason the sales guy felt the need to mention how this one was especially nice, because it came with leather seats.  He should have known that all ZR2 packages come with leather.. this was at a…
