Had an ‘05 Xterra S 6MT, which I sold in lieu of an Armada when kid #3 came.

Now kid #1 is coming up on driving age so looking for a ‘14 or ‘15 Pro4X 6MT and the prices seem to be going *up* instead of down.  Would be great if they brought it back.

The use case is small, but valid. When I start talking sports cars with the wife (who is a car enthusiast herself) I get much further when I mention 911, GT-R, or GT350 than I do when I say Corvette, Cayman or Miata.

yay kinja.  I clicked on the wrong ‘reply’ link.  I agree you and I agree.

middle aged white guy here, and the *first* thing I thought of was “man, hope those dudes* aren’t black”

Uh...you can’t just dump a shitload of Jet-A over a populated area.  You also probably don’t want to dump it over major waterways, forests, or anything really.  Not unless you really, really, really have to,

Counterpoint*: The G35 was more than just a badge engineered Skyline/Fairlady. On the FM platform you got a 2 seat sport coupe, a 2+2 GT, and a pretty capable sport sedan.

Holy fender gap, Batman...what they really need is some lowering springs.

Define “brown”. I have a LeMans Blue E90 with the Harvest “Brown” interior. It’s got quite a bit of red in it, but it’s for sure a shade of brown. This was a color combination available from the factory, it’s not a custom build (which I’m not even sure is available with the 3ers anyway)

Perhaps.

Can’t say I approve of the styling, that wrap would have to go, the wheels too, but that price isn’t bad.  NP

This car is one of my high school heroes...but with the paint issues and some very obvious soot on the rear bumper (perhaps indicating it is not running a stock ECU or a stock fuel map)...CP...but barely.

Am I the only one that fixes the drift with recalibrating the sticks?  I noticed it from day one and just assumed it was the gyros losing track of the orientation over time.  Recalibrate does the trick every time.  Annoying, but shrug

THIS!   I’ve been rolling on 45 series or lower tires for 20 years.  The ride sucks but it’s worth the grip.  Just gotta watch those Chicago potholes.  Knock on wood I’ve never lost a tire.  I just take it slow and careful.

would murder a basket full of kittens for this in a RWD 340i M-Sport w/ 3 pedals

So the big V8s from the ///M division and AMG divisions were considered weird and dumb? And didn’t Audi throw a decent sized V8 (4.2L) out in front of the front axles on more than a few of their models?

Low alcohol beers work well for day drinking. Founders All Day IPA (for those of visiting Midwest tracks like Road America or Ginger man) is only 4.7%.

does the CX-5 come with 3 pedals?  would happily get that over the ugly ass Juke

builds character.  I didn’t win any popularity contests with my rusted out j-body in high school.

which is why I want to see about lowering it without screwing up the suspension geometry.  putting suspension and bigger brake calipers could be a fun family project
