Nice build! I have a never-going-to-happen dream of a pre-LCI E91 with an N54 swap 6mt. Congratulations on making this awesome thing.

If it were an N54 swap I’d say it’s a go. Also, color me wrong but I think the pre-LCI E91s look better than the facelift.

I’d like to share something. My wife can get from point A to point B in a manual, but it’s maybe not the smoothest journey. She’s fine on long stretches of western interstates, but stop and go traffic on hills is a little dodgy. She gets this, but isn’t particularly interested in perfecting her technique because she’s…

But muh car blog.

Yes, you are correct. My point was that the Pacific fleet SSBNs are stationed at (report out of?) Bremerton/Kitsap, so they could be coming and going and we’d never know.

Have you watched the Netflix show Shooter (based on the Marky Mark movie)? It’s even worse than the film. It’s fantastic.

Sheesh. Looks like somebody had to work on the holiday.

Yeah, it’s wild to think that there could be boomers just silently chilling in Puget Sound. If the fast ferry ends up happening, who knows, I might move to literal ground zero.

Huh. I got the notices back in March or April for my two E39s (well, I sold one last year so I forward that notice to the new owner). I called the dealer, they had tons of availability, so I set up a drop off time for right before they closed so I could take a 320i as a loaner overnight.

So rumble strips are bad for drag racing. That makes sense. I’m not deep enough into calc or physics to understand why it’s better for an F1 or LMP car to apex over the rumble while a drag car suffers by going over it. Any engineers and/or smart folks want to explain?

only people you can harm are yourself and the other driver and the cops packs of wild pups

I would argue that water isn’t wet, but only because the wife did a bunch of graduate work in philosophy and we’ve beat this subject into the ground.

We’re going to agree on that as soon as we all agree to vote for progressive senators and reps who will push for infrastructure that supports self-driving cars.

Its mass is still 2.5 g. Author says that the cap exerts a 16 lb force, what with the ol’ a=v^2/r.

How do you define replica vs reproduction?

Saturday mornings are my favorite. Starting at 9 am, I get Car Talk, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, This American Life, and Dinner Party Download all in a row. That four hours is perfect to make a weekend-worthy breakfast, pitter around the house doing house things, and plan the rest of the weekend/week before having to…

I’d say that’s a pretty amazing turning radius if you consider that it’s 1100' long and going 30 mph.

You’re a fuckin loser, Cetera!

Link because I didn’t believe you. That’s rad as shit!

Most all types of racers are inclined to keep racing. We never saw Skujins go down but even on a mild descent like that 40 or 45 mph is common. FWIW he was pulled as soon as his team car caught up to him. Neutral service was just providing neutral service by helping him back up. But still, dude looked pretty obviously…
