What if I put it in the dishwasher? Does the scoring matter then?

Another option is to gather some friends and go run in Lemons or ChumpCar/etc. LOTS more track time for the $. You could also arrive +drive.

This is the way to go. Car will handle well, and when you get SMOKED by everyone else at the track, you can blame it on having an old slow Boxter.

Nice! This already works in other office apps, so it’s nice to see it’s coming to Excel.

eh, i’m not sure about that. I saw a lot of daylight through the filter before i cleaned and oiled it. I wouldn’t recommend using a K&N in a dusty environment.

I’m sure it was dirty enough 30k miles ago, I was just lazy. I doubt it was filtering out all that much.

I just cleaned and oiled mine for the first time. It has 50k miles on it and never had a MAF issue.

The link shows that this happened in a PATH station in NJ. It also happened in a DC Metro station a few years ago. I guess US maintenance folk aren’t any better.

can you merge your #’s? my google voice # is my normal phone #. I can see and answer phone calls in gmail. I know you can use google voice, but I thought sprint was the only carrier that let you merge your google voice and normal phone #.

google chat seems to always take one step forward and 2 steps back. merged SMS/chat was awesome. I wish Google voice was supported by more than just sprint.

I think when BMW started covering oil changes warranty, they decided to put some effort into designing it to be easy.

Yup, that’s the new bmw style. been around since at least the e36's.
The e46 added a 36mm “Nut”, so you could open it easier. Looks like they went backwards on the newer cars. Those things are not easy to un-screw.

I have experience with the “bitch clip” on a ‘89 m635csi. Can confirm, it’s a pain to get at. The rest of the car is relatively easy though, especially after you remove all the “Don’t need this for racing” parts.

hard to work on? Probably anything on a Cayman/Boxter engine.

These little victories are absolute triumphs for a lowly shade tree mechanic like me.

It’s gotten to the point where I like the ‘break for product placement to pay the bills’ part of these shows. At least with that, I know that this is a low budget show about cars, not a reality show starring guys and cars. All Girls Garage is a good show too.

That video was from his personal youtube account. SUBSCRIBE!

There was a recent episode where he tuned dual carbs. I had always thought, screw carbs, so complicated! Then I saw him do it and explain it. It made sense and I feel like I could tune a carb if needed. Every other car show would just pull one out of the box, slap it on and call it done.

I did think this last season tried too hard. They weren’t just taking a beat up car and bring it back to good condition, they tried to make the cars into more than they ever were.
I like car shows where they just explain how to fix things. If there is a ‘manager’ in the shop, I’m switching the channel.

at least those flights have good in flight entertainment! This is stupid though. I’ve flown through Doha, it’s more secure than any US airport I’ve been to. You go through metal detectors/xrays just to get into the building. Then again at the terminal and again to get onto the plane.
There have been legit terrorist
