So you never check your pressure unless you've got an air compressor handy? And you trust the stupid plunger pressure gauge at the gas station that's been dropped and run over a thousand times? How are you bleeding pressure out of the tires when you over-inflate? How are you checking the tire pressure cold at the…

tool;

I can *feel* low tire pressure, but good luck seeing it on low profile high performance tires. My tire doesn't change shape between 20 and 35 PSI.

It's the answer unless you want your kids to survive into adulthood.

If you're demanding new regulation, I think it's on you to prove that it's necessary. Given how many Uber cars there are out there, it should be pretty easy to prove that Uber needs commercial insurance and government licensing. They've logged more than enough miles to get a good sample size.

Let's all get together and be bored by these cars together.

Because when Israeli troops get captured, they tend to get tortured to death? And they don't have troops there on the ground already?

Except it wasn't a lot of fun when it finally fell off those rails. I spent a lot of time going backwards in the one my dad and I used to autocross. :)

A cable is more failure prone. It needs to be adjusted or needs a self-adjusting mechanism. It will eventually snap. It needs to be routed somehow to the engine using very gentle bends. Throttle inputs are a fixed thing, so you can't very easily do one sharp map and one soft fuel economy mapping. It ADDS…

We own (and live) in a duplex and before going over to fix a faucet while she was away, our tenant warned me that her cats can "get a little weird around strangers".

It's pretty hard to overstate how racially fucked up the Metro Detroit area is. The history (way above and beyond the riots and white flight and coleman young) is really ugly. The city has been shafted so, so many times and so hard by white people that there are going to be some old wounds that need to be opened up…

It's not a real ///M3 unless it has a 4-cylinder and is homologated.

It's not my thing either, but you have to admit that the sound of tires evaporating without the rumble of an IC engine backing it is pretty damn surreal and awesome. And personally, I find gigantic quantities of energy trapped inside batteries a lot more intimidating and manly than gasoline. It's pretty hard to kill…

An excellent point. From 0-60, my E36 M3 will take an ST by a full second. From a roll, the ST (at least based on my butt dyno) will completely destroy the my car

The IS300 is a huge outlier, and you know that! :) That's not even fair. There's no other small RWD sport sedan like that car. But name cars that compare favorably to the driving experience that are significantly less trouble/cost, because I'd love to find one...

The running costs of an E60 M5 is on a whole different playing field than an E39 M5, which in turn is on a whole different playing field from the E46 M3. Go over to M5board, read, then go buy an M3. :)

Storage isn't far off? I've done multiple 1000+ mile week-long road trips with two adults and two children in my E36 M3. It's not our Accord, but it's a LOT more usable than a 'vette. Which it should be, or we'd all just drive corvettes. :)

E36 not built to last compared to what? Most of the cars you'll see on the market are edging up to 200K miles.

I was going to get all E39 M3 owner pedantic, too, but then realized it's a rally car.

People run on that when there's a mostly modern facility RIGHT THERE? Woah, no thanks.
