You asked how it’s larger, I showed you, dimensionally, that it’s larger (but larger numbers don’t convince you because...math?).

Then I show you a quote from BMW saying the 4 series has more rear seat room and you dispute that because you know better than BMW apparently.

Then a guy in another reply above says he can…

No fence except at the rear (because there is a 4 lane road back there). Granted, it’s in an affluent area so crime is pretty low.

Kia Stinger: 190″ L x 74″ W x 55″ H
BMW 3 Series: 186″ L x 72″ W x 57″ H
BMW 4 Series: 188″ L x 73″ W x 55″ H

It’s larger than a 3 series, more like a 4 series and close to a 5 series. So cross shopping it with a 3 series wouldn’t be totally fair. I use mine as a family car with 2 car seats in the back without issue. Not sure I’d consider that in a 3 series. The MSRP is also nothing but a dream. Because the sales aren’t that…

I suspect the main issue with EV’s in this application (aside from convincing the old farts making the decisions that it’s a good idea) is the prospect of putting a TON of chargers at every post office (my local post office has at least 40 trucks parked there every night), and the risk of some jackass kids deciding…

That crossover pipe for the turbo makes me cringe. So many good ways to do that while not forcing all of the air to crash off the back wall of the pipe and turn 90 degrees that also don’t look like you cut the handle off of a shopping cart and welded it to the engine. 

There are much more important factors that go into making a mail truck than how it looks. Things like how well it does its job, reliability, safety (which it does better because of how it looks), etc.

The article is called “How to Minimize Salt Damage to Your Car This Winter”. Nothing they said is false in that regard. It doesn’t mean it’s always realistic for everyone. With that said, not everyone (and I’d say the vast majority of people) don’t live where it snows every other day for weeks on end (and most of the…

GT-R
I know this is part of the name of the vehicle but this is the original that all of the copycat aftermarket emblems and such copied. It’s the “OG” R if you will.

You need to chill out. If you’re a car enthusiast then you already know the specs. If this is a car enthusiast site then there is no reason to re-hash the same info that’s existed for 35 years about this car, especially when it’s readily available for you to look up if you don’t know them, unlike the majority of…

I had a white 2000 7.3L 6 speed Lariat Crew Cab for a handful of years. Spent a few months looking for the manual. This was back in 2008 or so. Bought it for $8500 with 185k miles, sold it with 245k miles for $9600. I put the 2006 style front end on it to modernize the look a bit. Once I put a tuner and exhaust system …

A tube frame stock car doesn’t have to pass smog testing to register, they just have to “know a guy” who works at a smog station, or slip someone some greenbacks.

The transplant deal is asinine. Why make it have to pass the emissions requirements for the year of engine, not for the chassis? They are incentivizing…

and yet I’m from a state that doesn’t require any emissions testing at all...

I said for old pre-OBD2 vehicles, not new vehicles. If some guy with a 20 year old car is smart enough to program the systems to do what VW did in order to pass, you’ll never be able to create laws that his car would fail.

Somebody gets it!

Yeah, and what about those older than 1998? What about those with modern engines swapped into an older chassis? What about those with modernized EFI in a 1st gen EFI vehicle? What about those with aftermarket EFI that has cleaner emissions than stock but fails on technicalities (no CARB certification number, replaced…

It’s not about how new cars are handled, it’s about the older cars. It should be “Does it pass the sniffer test?” and if the answer is “Yes”, send them down the road. The reality is, it can pass the sniffer and fail the test because of a failed visual inspection, or a too new of an engine for that chassis (yes, you…

The “crap” they are talking about is not being able to legally modify the vehicle that makes it run more efficiently, pollute less, etc. simply because the modification(s) that made it possible doesn’t have CARB certification (which is VERY expensive and takes years to accomplish for each product, often making the…

CARB is great for some things but it makes absolutely no sense how they treat older vehicles that aren’t old enough to be exempt and also aren’t new enough to be OBD2 compliant. The bottom line is, modifications shouldn’t matter at all. Put the sniffer in the exhaust and if it passes the test, it should be legal to…

While that is all true, the problem with him not conceding has more to do with how it restricts Biden’s transition team from being able to set up their administration, have office space in government buildings, get the money set aside for the transition ($9.x million I believe), etc. So while it’s a formality, there…
