That said, it’s fair to say they’re essentially Fox-Plus, and Fox-Double-Plus. There’s a lot of parts commonality because they mostly spent the money on the chassis, and not what bolts to it. Case in point, when I was spec’ing out my idea for a Fox-based SVO-homage/Anti-Stang, it turns out the subframe for the New…

Great choice, though I thought E46 values are on the upswing. I’dve suggested the non-turbo E9x for most of the same reasons, plus a fair amount of parts-compatibility with the later F3x cars.

Just ignore any Facebook group where the N54 gang is vocal. So, like, all of them.

Montenegro has a $1 billion loan out with the Chinese state bank, Export-Import Bank, that it can’t pay.

Obligatory.

I’ve got the bulked-up Jeep version and it runs like a champ.

Hah, I just posted the same thing.  Guess I should’ve realized someone would’ve beat me to this.

Because Starlink is primarily targeting remote area users where high speed internet service is difficult and expensive, there simply may not be enough target users to recoup the massive initial investment.

Key word “require.” As in, on the paperwork. I’ve known a couple who intentionally didn’t carry (unless responding to specific calls) because virtually nothing in their day-to-day duties needed a gun, and the only reason they started carrying all the time again was that they were bitched at from above.

I 110% agree with this. Give them “generally”-less-than-lethals and the equivalent of an associate degree’s in psych and de-escalation. If something goes that pear-shaped, than bring in a group that is explicitly trained to handle it.

The Subie tax is one of the reasons why I ended up with a E90 335i xDrive versus a spec.B. I’d hate to think what the equivalent mileage car would be at the moment.

Maybe these guys? I mean, the dude front and center, definitely.

Yeah, I had the two Syndicates but needed Ultima. Life-saver of a post.

Don’t get me wrong: I got super lucky when I scored my weirdo-spec super-mint E90 off an ad on Cargurus. (Which, to be clear, was my replacement for. . . a 2004 GTO that I had owned and dailied from new, with 12 miles on the clock.) That said, CG and the big sites are probably not the place you should be shopping for…

Easy. A solid 2004 with six-figure mileage is still in the 8-10k range. I still check what they’re horse-trading for every few months, as I miss mine enough to consider making that bad decision.

Really, none of you?

Just saying, the better answer’s lurking in your username.  I’ll post it if Kinja ever decides to let me.

Hmm. . . If Mazda takes a page from the CR-Z and actually does the concept justice. Manual trans, small electric motor/battery pack for instant torque to flatten the curve in stoplight to stoplight traffic, or to help keep speed uphill.  That sort of thing.

Otherwise, it’s pointless beyond being a bulletpoint on a…

Yup, I got that part, just that there’s a specific and fascinating reason for it. It’s totally an acquired taste, though, and if you’re not raised on it, it’s a thing.

That weird taste has some unfortunate ramifications, though.

Ah, the ol’ Schuylkill Punch. Ironically, it’s largely a result of the treatment. What comes out of the tap is remarkably clean, from a health and safety standpoint.

Yuuup, and modern cars are packed with them. The FRM, aka “Footwell Module,” is a similar component in BMWs, and a well-known failure point with many of their cars from the aughts.
