I always thought the term referred to people who can remember the new millenium. Generally I’ve heard it referred to as 1980-1996 or so. Being born in 1996 I can vaguely remember the y2k hilarity and I do remember 9/11. My wife, two years younger, has no recollection of any of these things and has had a very different…

“But it’s just an expensive Volt”

The way this system is described is so goddamn infuriating.

“within 5 seconds” doesn’t mean much without knowing how long the course is. Even then, driver mod is usually a bigger determiner than outright vehicle setup. I applaud you for hustling an understeering lump like a Fusion Sport around an autox course though.

But again, we have a guy with a bone stock Crown Vic Police…

Uh, okay buddy. Sure.

After road tripping a Hyundai Sonata Hybrid to Colorado and coming back in a Dodge Stealth R/T I don’t think there’s any doubt which one was more enjoyable to road trip.

Journey vs destination. Some people value one over the other.

I’m hovering over the NP button but pulling the trigger on this blue beauty would require a bumpers-off inspection by a 3rd party given the title status. I just bought a 2002 IS300 Sportcross (sadly only available in auto) for $5700 a few days ago with 94,000 on the ticker. These are amazing cars and one of the best…

Ballaban has a Sportcross?

No, you should get a MK2

Horrifying

Repeat after me: I don’t have to shoot with the aperture wide open all the time.

Meh. Front main, rear main, oil pan and valve cover gaskets, injector o-rings, front and rear trans seals, change all fluids, brake pads, rotors, new brake lines, upper and lower radiator hoses, heater hoses, thermostat.

Pretty standard checklist for an old car and I’m sure that will solve 99% of your issues. Pretty…

Jesus christ dude. Do you think fuel injection is a conspiracy as well? I suppose we’d all be better off if we just went back to carbs and points ignition? I absolutely love how my car is able to tell me “misfire on cylinder 1" so I know not to waste my time diagnosing cylinders 2 and up. Do you not remember the days…

High mileage BMWs? Any thoughts on an E46 330?

Look at any modern car, and, with the steering pointed straight, the faces of the front wheels will line up nearly perfectly with the painted fender surrounding the wheel arch

This is not a first-gen Quattoporte so no, not the ugliest car they ever made.

Shitty tiny apartment. Really have no room to keep a set of wheels and tires around.

I can only really have one set of tires so I was thinking of going for the DWS as an all season that isn’t TOTALLY suck.

I have managed to get through a season and a half of daily driving and autocrossing with RE71Rs on my Miata. $120 apiece. Love it. Might go for continentals next time around since I’m doing more road trips and less autox though.
