No... I mean like it fucking smells literally not just of carbon dioxide. it’s fucking unpleasant, hence why I don’t recommend going catless when there’s basically no extra power in it. Idling at stoplights? Yup, your car stinks to you and others. So like, even before we get to carbon dioxide, it’s not pleasant and

I always do what I’m asked, but on account of my rather bad ADHD I may not hear the request the first time... or might get distracted along the way.

I try my best, but we are not perfect and you are going to have to ask us multiple times to do stuff. We try. We really do. But we’re bumbling dolts and can’t remember

I keep my vents on recirc because I have a slow gear oil leak and the gear oil smell comes in through the vents.
I had a catted downpipe myself for a while and the exhaust stayed the same. I went back to OEM catalyst because later testing proved the car makes basically no additional power without upgrading the

It just so happens on the Focus ST’s EcoBoost 2.0L the header is a part of the cylinder head. It just isn’t on the derived-from-an-older-engine EcoBoost 1.6L, which still has a separate header / downpipe (catalyst)

on the FiST it is right inline with the wiper cowl, so it is entirely plausible, but I find it weird the car was that poorly ventilated and nobody complained of the smell or bothered to open a window....

I am pretty sure this guy has to be trolling... right?


A better question is what “CAN’T” you order from RockAuto. Like seriously. I can’t even think of an example of a BMW only mechanical part for that car.

With a 1.9L... no. We bought my younger brother a cleaner example for like $3500-4000 in the southbay (Torrance?) area.

With a six maybe but being an early example they weren’t offered with the six yet.

Sorry, it’s wayyy too much money and I can buy a Z3 1.9 or 2.5/2.8 and throw recaros and a rollbar and coilovers in it

Unfortunately I don’t think he’s joking and actually thinks all BMWs go to the dealer regardless of age... these things are two decades old now and noone is still bringing those to their dealers for service.

Seriously, aside from its bodywork the Z3 is stupid cheap to work on. Radiator? Under $80 new. Shocks or Struts?

Check out RockAuto pricing for E36 parts. it’s equally cheap. Shocks and Struts can be had under $20 each, Radiator is well under $100. Seriously. Miata-grade cheap.

This is precisely why when shopping for a replacement car for my brother, we bought exactly this.
The interior is nicer than a Miata by quite a bit, and being a 2-seater, the interiors are well kept and the cars are typically lower mileage, too.
Being based on the BMW E36, there’s plenty of aftermarket support, but god

Hello English guy.
I’d like to ask.
Are you fucking high? Seriously. Noone takes a 20 year old Z3 to the dealership for maintenance, and being based on an E36, they are more than simple enough to work on yourself, about the same degree as a Miata.

And thanks to 3-series underpinnings, quite a bit of aftermarket support.

so like what do you call it when you have to hold down a screaming thrashing little kid when you have to give them a shot or take blood?

does the child not have the ability to consent?

I have a weird issue with blood draws because I was held down for bloodwork when I was 4, and now get violently sick after giving blood.

like I had to do when I was lifeflighted into LAC-USC, sure, I was given options,and having my pelvis shattered in four places with heavy abdominal trauma I can say that I am a man who has experienced the pain of child birth (an open book fracture’s a lot like how a woman’s hips are forced apart, I had 1.5in

have you ever been in a hospital? “it is not medically necessary to be checked constantly”, lolwut

you are the worst liar ever because like clockwork every four hours, there’s a Phlebotomist to pull another sample out of you.

if you’re in the hospital, you’re gonna be checked on constantly, that’s kind of the point of a

I do feel bad for Ivanka and Baron Trump. They are prisoners. Sad, sad prisoners trapped in their circumstances.

Also, if there ever were a real life incarnation of Shinji Ikari (of Evangelion -GET IN THE DAMN EVA SHINJI) - it’s Baron.

Forza Horizon 3's “wheelspins” have been driving me insane because they keep screwing me with a 2,000 cr payout which is less than the race I just did, as my prize for levelling up, again... like 2000cr, FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

^ how i most often lose in Forza Horizon 3. I’m like in the middle of a 30,000 x 6.0 drift combo and then the AI in 2nd comes flying past and fucks up my skill chain.

I really have to remember “DON’T SLIDE EVEN THOUGH IT’S FUN AS HELL” to win sometimes

Seen it happen, but only maybe a year or two back... to have something from 25 years ago surviving OUT IN THE CHICAGO ELEMENTS is just silly

someone put this up, and I need to know why

didn’t they have Honda motors in some of the VUEs? that would account for that
