V6 engines are pretty short. I wonder if all of that space up front is for cooling

Nissan Cube

I got that impression pretty much immediately. Seems like they’re more interested in appearing “correct” than actually having a meaningful discussion.

My first car was a 1988 Cressida I bought for $700 (pre drift tax and cash for clunkers). I think at the time it was the only 5 speed swapped Cressida in NYC. I had bought it from a friend without telling my parents. I didn’t have a license yet, but I did have a permit and figured I could drive it home about a mile…

I always wanted to get into the model car building, but I’m really not that into painting. I simply don’t have the accommodations for it at the moment. Does that mean I just can’t really complete kits past getting them built or is there some alternative?

That Oda encounter was really tough, up until the game bugged out, he got stuck teleporting on a container, and I could hit him with 12k revolver headshots over and over. If I hadn’t been playing so tired late in the evening, I would have done the fight over. It was a great encounter sort of ruined by a bug. That…

The more differences I thought of, the more I realized you’re right

Man, these are coming way down in price. This would make an excellent weekend toy for someone with deep enough pockets. NP

yeah. if anything I was surprised to see it become “online” so recently. It’s been in my lexicon for as long as I remember, but not used as liberally as it seems to be now. It is/was reserved for a very particular type of person

The only car shows I still go to (when there’s not a pandemic) are Radwood and anything pre/post an actual event on a track/rally stage. Those parking lot meets are often circlejerks, and I wasn’t much into them, even as a teen. The boomer meets are generally terrible too.

I’m guessing that 4 is what 3 was actually supposed to be, ala windows vista/windows 7

I’m guessing the other NP voters were people who had this (or the FTO) as their first car in Gran Turismo?

This is exactly how I learned actually. My very first repair was fixing the water pump/thermostat on an E34. What an adventure

This and “Trina” from the old forum days have cemented my opinion on BMW ownership for a lifetime

glad to see this hasn’t died

Thanks! I want it to be my forever car, but an S4 is calling my name. If I can have both (space concerns), this will become a toy

Sadly not a wagon. When I bought it, manual wagons were hard to come by since many of the original owners still had them. In fact, most of the manual wagon owners I know still have them. The rest are 2nd owner. Nonetheless, here’s mine. I really need to  take some nice photos someday

I’m loving all of the insight into these tools. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite parts of Jalopnik.

I want to see this thing in action. Pics? Videos? I toyed with the idea of getting one of these but ended up with my Legacy GT since they were easier to find

Pretty much any Corvette. I liked the C3 because I had proximity to one growing up and I like the C4 because I’m insane, but there’s nothing about Corvettes that really excites me.
