This. I’m the only idiot allowed to work on my car.

A most perfect expression that instantly transported me back to my misbegotten days as a yute growing up in Queens.

I wish everyone would realize this. Can’t tell you how many times people have been in minor fender benders and tried to claim their pot hole hammered, out of round wheels as some how being related.

Can confirm, dad has a 7 series its gone through 3 rims and like 8 tires. Tire and wheel insurance has had a better roi then dougs carmax warranty

I don’t have the numbers in front of me but they were super-skinny run flats with huge wheels. Hilarious as it was that Ballaban busted two tires on two cars in the same day (and we haven’t stopped giving him shit about it) these wheels and tires can be taken out pretty easily.

It’s a Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evo 1 kind of morning.

In all fairness - BMW tire pressure being off by even 1 psi can cause them to whip across 3 lanes of traffic without notice.

with all the money being spent on this big government we can’t afford some snow tires? If Trump were president we’d have tremendous snow tires and he’d make the Canadian’s pay for them!

Let us never forget...

That’s the best first-gen Touareg investment you can make: not driving it.

Bad idea referencing the stock market today, amirite?!

I wonder if all these “Put a ‘busa in it!” folks are actually off hunting Hayabusa engines, when other, much more common, and cheaper options should be everywhere and only penalize the nuts factor a little bit...

It’s punishing in the 17” PEGs I have. I can only imagine the 18s. Turning radius is awful as mentioned. Those are the two worst parts of the car.
