Chicagoland gets a lot of mediocre auto commercials, but one of the mainstays for the past decades has been motherfuckin’ Bob Rohrman. His ads have gone from auto dealer quaint to just sad, as he’s now at the point where he sounds like he’s in between stroke episode while recording his TV and radio spots. By most…
Since the 7 series only launched in 1977 that’s a pretty narrow window of alive-ness
On my E24 I once lost a 10mm socket in one of the crevices near the firewall. After nearly an hour of poking with a magnet and trying to get it I gave up. Bonus: I found it a year later while changing the head gasket!
3) almost all of those effects are Foley’d in post, not recorded on set
The state, maybe not. But you can often make a claim against the local municipality or county for pothole damage to a car.
Everything about that car from the front doors forward is sketchy. Misaligned panels, punched in kidneys, trim not matching...
In pure economic terms I have a hard time seeing the upside - the labor and cost to recondition a flood vehicle so that it’s safe (e.g. completely removing any mold potential from carpets) is very high. A potentially dangerous car that could cause health issues or a potential accident would leave someone on the hook,…
Oh no
It’s alright, we still have RCR.
The motor of almost any plane will overcome the rolling friction of wheels and wheel bearings. You’re interpreting the statement that the treadmill will match the speed of the wheels as a fact that the airplane cannot move. This is false, as the reactive force from the propeller or jet engine is reacting against the…

I take a perverse pleasure in seeing Audi DIYs that basically begin
I second this. I found a (higher) mileage E39 M5 that had all of the maintenance records, with a good amount of preventive work done. Bought with 127k miles on it and it’s been just as reliable as my 250k mile E30, 200k mile E24, and 150k mile E46 ever were.
In France? About 75% of electricity is generated in the country by nuclear reactors. Of course, there’s been a shift in sentiment about nuclear power and the current plan is draw down the nuclear production to about 50% of total energy in the next ten years, plus there’s an ongoing safety campaign that’s lead to…
I’m voting CP just because of the frankenbimmer aspect and the problems that could crop up, but E39s are now at the age where KBB is getting off-track from true prices. An excellent-condition E39 M5 with documentation is more in the 15k-25k range depending on mileage.
Stalactites have to hang on tight, stalagmites might fall over!
Hold up, am I the only one that reads that tweet as Mike saying that Edd is NOT a traitor?
I think you meant “palette” cleanser.
Which, as most sufferers can also recognize, is distinct from suffering from a VW Iltis.
