Give up on seriousness for a year or two, live in a motorhome for dollars a month, see the countryside, wrangle the Wal Mart parking lots and learn the ways of the road, but preferably when you are in your early 20s. College dropout material, I may or may not have done that for 2 years when I was 20-22 and lived in…

That is a torque table, not a curve. Just a plateau. 

We are on the same page, I just posted this with less words and eloquence. 

My kid won’t be driving for 15 years, by then he will only service the robot that drives him everywhere.
But for now, I have to respect my nephew who is going the gearhead first car route of “Always Miata”.

Winter weather package, no question. Toasty bum and hands all day.

I’m really excited because I just started getting into this game with a linux based emulation handheld, on of those cheap asian ones that runs all da things.
This game was straight up meant for portable. Never tried the phone version because of control mapping to screen ech. 

Other drivers are why I will never operate a motorcycle on public roads.

They will need a few more really attractive breathy ladies reassuring us it is an Alfa Romeo, that is for sure.

Oh crap, again? This place cycled through writers like hotcakes last time something happened.

During the pandemic I spent $1,800 on a set of Bilstein adaptive dampers and then had to wait a full damn year for them to show up with the chip shortage. The dealer quoted me something similar in price to do just one corner, let alone all four. Got em slapped in and everything aligned and so far they’re great. A bump…

I’ve actually got a 2014 BMW 335ix GT, and it is exactly the car I wanted after daily driving a completely analog 1989 Montero for 7 years. I knew I was getting married, and after realizing the market for manual 335is in Denver was scarce especially if you wanted an interesting color, I considered other options and…

You should have thrown in MPG for each of these, and then the turbo 4 or 6 counterparts. The N/A v6 us dying from obsoletion, and they also sound like crap in most applications. 

Just here to give a shout out to Rocko’s Modern Life for the reference of You Can’t Fight City Hall! You Can’t Fight Corporate America!

And that Ford looks like an older Audi, I couldn’t think of what model the Ford was when the thread question was asked. Mondeo? Nope, 500.

I love the 5 door fastbacks, I wanted a stinger but they were too new, I got a 2014 BMW 335ix GT instead after plenty of research which was BMWs attempt at the swoopy coupes trying to erase the horrible stench of the 5 series GT from the plate. Being based on the Chinese 3 series it has massive legroom in the back as…

That is way too much money to get smirked at when you show up at cars and coffee and people ask how much you spent on that thing. 

These things are going to be EVERYWHERE.

I’ve got an ‘89 first gen and have seen ‘88s for sale. I think even ‘87.
I’m not an expert, just winging it.
