I’m being very frugal with that money. Before I even redeemed it I saved up about $250,000 and bought the batwing BMW. Now I’m saving up to buy the crazy Lamborgini I got invited to buy for $2.2M....I’m up to $1.95M and I hope it doesnt disappear before then. 

But are they quality jobs? Do they pay ones bills?

They may have teased ‘69, they’ll probably deliver ‘74...or worse, ‘75.

How many of these things cruising at WOT 24/7 would it take to equal the pollution of one cargo ship burning bunker oil one way across the pacific?

As socially irresponsible as these may be, they’re nothing compared to the cargo industry. 

PERKELE!

They genuinely believe everything should be privatized and have an immediate fee associated, which they’ve clearly not put any critical thought into. Want to leave your home? Pay a toll to use the sidewalk or road. Oh, you need to go to a job interview and have no money? You get to go in debt just to go on a job…

My grandma and uncle worked for Dollar for many years. The answer is that they have their own internal shop for the massive amount of cars they maintain and repair on a daily basis. As such they work with manufacturers to do the recalls in house as quickly as possibly to avoid down time. Imagine you have 150 cars down…

Ordered with a unique set of options is different than assembled with incorrect/mismatching stuff.

That gray one on white wheels hits the look so hard at a glance I had to stop and actually look close. 

Just getting to the oil filter on an IS300. The filter is under the intake manifold and angled a bit towards the back. Well, when you go underneath its way too far up in there to reach to and also things like a steering shaft and engine mounts in the way. So you have to go through the top, which involves jamming your…

Correct, its the bean counters who make it terrible, not the engineers. Engineers are often doing their best to make it as serviceable as possible but as you alluded to, they cant get a custom alternator housing made just to make access to that bolt in platform 4 easier. It needs to be fairly catastrophic for them to…

Well, the distinction between the Army and the National Guard is that the Army is not for US soil. The Guard is. The Guard is also maintained by the individual states and is effectively under the respective governers control until the feds say “Hey, we need them for XYZ”

It would have been too OP if they had the weight correct. 

Fire up the cargo planes!

When can we expect to see Paul Walker edition cars coming out?

It may not be on E46s but it DEFINITELY is on 2000ish VAG products. Most notoriously, the Beetle

They exist. I think it runs around $250/door

The crayon smell in most german cars (mostly VW) for a good while was the sound deadening/rust proofing they sprayed in the doors. It was a wax like undercoating and they used it in the door. It doubled as a sound deadener and rust proofer.

One interval (the book) is for people who lease. The other interval (5,000 milesish) is for people who plan to own their car for a long long time. 

I can do it, but its just a nice little thing that makes the process a bit more seamless. Not having to fish keys out of your pocket on a cold day when youre wearing gloves is pretty great.
