I’ve only owned cars with 2 doors and one of them only had 2 seats. I can haul a lot more that you would think in my Z4 convertible that you would think, especially with the top down- the sky’s the limit! My other cars I just fold down the back seat and I can fit in a good amount of cargo. I impressed myself by fitting…

Ive heard from others that Beijing a few years ago was like LA was in the 60-70’s. The past few years have had much cleaner air. My students hardly miss their recess because of pollution and the sky’s are blue most days of the week. They are doing something right here. 

Thanks for the update. I’ve seen how prices keep going up on mainland China and HK abut not Taiwan. Hopefully someday soon I can get back to Taiwan I miss it sometimes.

I was in high school then, so I didn’t pay much attention to salaries... has the cost of living also stayed the same?

I used to live in Taipei but haven’t back since 1998. I love how it looks as if nothing has changed! Also Taroko Park is one of my favorite places in the world!

Living in Beijing I see more and more electric cars every day. More Tesla’s are in my neighborhood than I’ve ever seen in one place anywhere else and even the mail vans and small transport trucks are electric. Not to mention I see more busses are also running on batteries. There are microcars and electric bikes slowly…

First off, I like trains. It’s the 4 year old in side of me... The sounds, smells their size... Anyway, I live in China and used to take the trains here often. When I was in university I took an overnight train trip from Beijing to Harbin in the middle of winter with my family. The train was warm and cozy, it rocked…

I’ve been living in China for a really long time. Electric busses have always been a part of the city landscape. They have an electric grid above the roadways that the busses get their power from. (Kind of like the way bumper cars work.) I think that because Beijing and other big cities used electric busses for so…

That’s pretty dark... but true.

He was one of my big influences. My band often covers his songs during our longer sets but I will never be near as good as Dick Dale on his worst day. It’s a pity I never got to seem him in concert. I had the chance a few years ago and missed out. I’m learning that when I have a chance to do something, don’t hesitate…

The road would be a lot sexier with more wedges and pop up headlights! Blame it on the people who don’t look both ways.

I realize that. I was just too lazy to do the conversion. Also, I’ve gone to 145mph in my BMW which was its limit. I was just saying that there may be a few owners who would like to push the performance. 

I also don’t like the front. It looks like it wasn’t finished. I had been racking my brain to find a solution (because I don’t like to complain without having something to improve the situation) but I have nothing. To me it looks like a character in Cars and that big empty space is their mouth, it kind of creeps me…

I’m not going to go against the designers or engineers choices here (I’ve only reached 180 kph on the track in my car) and I find their reason to be valid, but if the Mustang is supposed to be a world car now you think they would consider the few people who may buy it in Europe to take it on the Autobahn and want to…

I learned how to drive in my dad’s 91 manual EX. I have so many excellent memories in that car and on how well it drove. My mom a few years later bought a 95 wagon EX. Unfortunaly Michigan winters were not to kind to either and while there were no huge problems we sold them each for $500 a few years apart. I know…

I should have thought of that idea too, but as I have a 2003 BMW, I was trying to picture it on my Z4 instead of older classy cars. But now I can appreciate that image in my mind! Plaid interiors are amazing when done right!

I don’t know if they would be right for every car, but those argyle calipers would look perfect on a Volvo or Saab in my opinion. My first car I painted the calipers red, my current car I have grey Brembos from a Cadillac on the front and bright red brembos on the back from a Camaro SS. I like my mismatched set more…

YES! I couldn’t live with myself if I had to drill holes in my Z4's bumper. If only we had Ohio’s gas prices Michigan would be perfect. 

Thanks for the complement! I always try my bestest. 

I’m on the other side of the globe, in China, 12 hours ahead of most of the US, so I forgot that my today was your tomorrow still! Hope you took care of your speeding ticket. Here we can take care of our tickets all by phone apps. I just paid one off Friday. Sometimes China is great for things like that.
