That is how I feel when it comes to historical figures. People want to rationalize that someone like Lincoln could do something good yet still not be a good person just so they can keep him high up on the pedestal. It never occurred to people that the pedestal shouldn’t be there and that we should look at people for the good and bad they’ve done and let individuals come to their own conclusion about their character.7 years ago

I chime in here because I have extensive experience with both. The M235/240 has a superior powertrain. It smoother, less peaky, and revs more freely. Body control is also superior on the BMW through the corners, but it does ride harsher than the Benz due to the short wheelbase. The Benz has a hugely superior EPS system and turns in sharper, making it feel like a more aggressive car. The BMW is a lot more playful in the corner, though, where the Benz can be overly neutral.

The first system is the emissions standard. Germany, like most of the EU countries, is signatory to environmental treaties which compel them to reduce pollution in urban settings. Germany, unlike most of the EU countries, actually takes every treaty it signs seriously and has implemented a system to achieve this that it strictly follows. The ins and outs of this system are complex, but what you need to know is that the vehicle you are intending to purchase must be rated a ‘4’ if you intend to drive it within city limits. You will need to either have a certificate called an ‘Abgasuntersuchung’ (abbreviated to ‘AU’) delivered 온라인카지노 with the vehicle to establish compliance with this standard or have a qualified mechanic issue a new certificate for the vehicle. It is safe to assume that if the seller is hesitant to supply this certificate, he needs an emissions check of his own!

My wife’s cousin, she was spoiled as a child with wealthy parents and was never told no. She was raised believing she was a princess and now she is out of high school and weight has caught up with her in a big way. She is pushing 285 lbs but still thinks she is a princess and wears such revealing clothes. She won’t take hints, my wife has tried to invite her to work out with her but she thinks they are equal and she weighs considerably more than double.

John Murphy, an analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, is bullish on Ferrari stock with a buy rating and a $150 price target. He said the Icona series cars (the Monza SP1 and SP2), as well as the other 15 all new or redesigned models that Ferrari announced as part of its 2018 2022 business plan, will help broaden the product lineup and boost revenue.

Honorable MentionVolkswagen GTI: The ultimate hot hatchback, this sporty version of the Golf barely missed the top five. The main thing holding it back is the higher maintenance cost of German vehicles. With solid turbocharged I4 and V6 engines, the GTI is truly a fantastic combination of hatchback practicality and light your hair on fire performance.

I don think they expect to sell a lot more BMWs to teens and 20 somethings, this is about creating an attachment to a brand for the future. In 5, 10, 15 years some of today esports audience will have the income to afford a BMW. The auto industry tends to have more brand loyalty and switching is less common, so someone that has the means to get their first “dream” car and picks a BMW is highly likely to buy a BMW again in the future.Another way of looking at it advertising towards a 25 year old potentially creates a customer for the next 50+ years. Advertising towards a 55 year old (that might already have strong brand loyalty elsewhere) only gets you a customer for the next 20+ years.In any case we don know the value of the sponsorship deal or what financial projections this was based on, so it impossible to conclude whether it a good investment.

Yes, I know the warning that cars like Mercedes and BMW can cost a lot to maintain, but we’re not talking regular maintenance here. I was rear ended on the 285 a few weeks ago, and the guy at the shop asked me how I liked the car. I subconsciously hesitated in my response, and he called me on it. He then told me his boss had the same car and had multiple complaints, including the sunroof and electronic glitches that required him to enter from the passenger side. I’ve heard a few other tales as well.

The 458 is also the first Ferrari to completely get rid of all stalks behind the steering wheel of the car and replace daily driver functions like indicating, turning the headlights on and off and the wiper blades into buttons on the steering wheel of the car a first for almost any mainstream manufacturer.

If anything I say get an E90 or E92 if you really want one but know that a lot of them probably will have been hooned in and not as reliable. Also don count your chickens before they hatch. Save up an emergency fund and all that and then work on getting a car.

The LVL2 charger also allows for more time in equalization or absorption charge mode once the battery is near full. This is better for the HV battery long term.If you not in the BMW i3 worldwide group on FB its worth your time. There is a ton of information there and it linked to in the sidebar.I hope this explanation was helpful, there are a few generally accepted theories included, but BMW hasn provided a better explanation so most folks agree on them.TLDR: It definitely your 12v battery.

I try to avoid being in anyone blind spot as much as possible: never merge into a lane in a way that would put you in their blind spot, if the road isn crowded then switch lanes so you won be in their blind spot, speed up to be in their blind spot for as little time as possible, never count on anyone using their turn signals. I mean, how would I feel if somebody come runnin in the gym and bust me in my ass while I on the treadmill? Then I saw this snarling beast guy, and I noticed he had a tissue in his hand, and I realizing, y he not snarling, he sneezing. Y ain no real threat there. Then I saw little Tiffany. I thinking, y eight year old white girl, middle of the ghetto, bunch of monsters, this time of night with quantum physics books? She about to start some shit, Zed. She about eight years old, those books are WAY too advanced for her. If you ask me, I say she up to something.

They don have ABS or TC and they much faster, plus they harder to set up. If you only have a little experience in the Ferrari GT3, I would recommend buying the Merc or the Audi and racing those in IMSA GT3, then progress up the ranks into GTE. The experience you gain will be worth it.Real racing drivers don jump the gun on what they race, so we sim drivers shouldn either, right?Hmm.

The price for this stunning kit? How about $21,000! Only $1,000 more than the MK4 Roadster, which you’ll find is a bargain. Again, you’ll need a Ford engine, transmission, rear end, paint, wheels, tyres, battery, and fuel pump, so expect to pay $26,000 and up. Although if you are going to buy one, why not spend a little extra and build a 302 Boss Mustang engine? It would work so well in this!

While I have done this, a lot of the time it not fun even solo, and with my family (inc. 2 kids) it no way Jose, we need to stop for bathroom breaks and stuff. So your 5 minutes at a gas station? Those are stops that should be compared to non roadtrip use of the cars, in which case you comparing to 0 minutes on the Tesla since you don stop at all, as you charge at home and never see a SuperCharger.

2 weeks ago I figure out it just a bad earth causing the slow crank and low voltage, so I fix that and it starts and runs mint. After about 15 minutes of driving the accessory pulley that been intermittently noisy completely shits the bed and starts screeching like a banshee. I don have time to fix it so I give up until next weekend.

There is an very audible rapid clicking noise that comes from the transfer case (approximately under the driver’s seat underneath the car) just after the engine is turned off. The best way to hear this is to open the driver’s side door when parked, turn off the engine and listen for the clicking noise (it may not happen EVERY time so try it a few times). The noise should only last about 1 2 seconds, see the video included here for an example of the sound.

What Is a Mini?So what is a Mini? It’s basically a small economy car that is known for its speed, extreme drifting, and unique look. There have been various types of Mini cars over the last several decades, but their popularity has surged because of their availability almost all over the world, their unique look, and their race car like quality.

I really am not a vain person. I’m not into status symbols just for the sake of looking like something I’m not. I don’t know fashion and I don’t go to all the hip clubs. But I do appreciate quality, and when I am blessed to be able to buy nice things for myself, then I feel I should have them. My Beemer has been one of those things.

The gents’ watches and a couple of women’s models in the Cellini line are hand wound. Since the Cellini collection is the simplest in terms of design and function of all the Rolex watches, the hand winding befits this classical image. I admit that I see an obvious paradox and somewhat of an incoherence in having a classically simple timepiece with a quartz movement, which is usually associated with cheaper watches or fakes. Still, we can be quite certain that Rolex does not manufacture lesser quality watches, so if for some reason you fancy having a quartz powered timepiece, you can be sure it will keep on ticking with accuracy and precision for many years to come.7 years ago

He said it happens all the time.Obviously, I be taking it to the shop on Thursday, so I get a definitive answer then (I suppose), but if it is the 12V battery (which makes some sense) I unclear on a few points.Would the battery be covered by the warranty? This was a CPO buy with a year and a half or so to run on the original warranty and an additional year on the Certified extension of that warranty.All the computers run on 12v DC and the DC to DC converter steps down the traction batteries high voltage to charge the 12v battery and run the computers while driving.

I meant that it won be a BMW. It would basically just be another generic electric vehicle and there are plenty of them out there already. There are plenty of things to make them a BMW, from the style of the exterior, to the quality of the materials for the interior, the fit and finish, the performance, the software for the infotainment etc. It pretty wild to say they can make distinctively BMW ICE cars but EVs would somehow be bland and generic. WTF

Alinghi had chosen to build a 101ft super lightweight catamaran, while BMW Oracle Racing opted for a 114ft trimaran with a giant solid wing mast in place of a more conventional sail. Both boats were impressive in their own rights and could sail at three times the wind speed, but BMW Oracle’s USA 17 particularly so, its wing taller than the total wingspan of a Boeing 747 at 223ft, the largest rigid wing ever built. Indeed, the technology on display propelled the event into completely new territory.

That still better than using a L1 charger though.With a proper L2 charger and wiring, you can expect to add about 25 miles for every hour you charge, making a full charge happen pretty damn quickly. It pretty much eliminates any charge related anxiety, since you can always plug it in for an hour or two and you got most of your range back for another drive.That said.

Recently, as my boyfriend’s lease term ended this month, we went in to talk to the finance manager about our trade in process (salesperson no longer works there). He said he would try and work on it and to come back. He set us up with a salesperson and we got nowhere. Basically, they screwed us. Even though we negotiated the price of my car before figuring we needed to combine lease payments, I am now stuck with a remaining payment of $825/mo for my car alone as my boyfriend had to trade in his car. Somewhere in the mix of paperwork it was calculated to have my boyfriends value over the 36mo instead of 15. Instead, we should have had a much lower required monthly payment and paid over that amount for the difference of my boyfriends car during the 15mo so when he turned his in my payment would have been $400.

Will others have better than chance odds of being correct in saying that the person is a pretentious sheep? LOL, no. I assume they drive the car because they want to. There is nothing pretentious about driving a car you want and can afford. Its not my place to judge and decide how someone else should spend their hard earned money. To me this is silly. You wouldn’t drive a BMW because you are worried that others will view you as pretentious. I think you are puting way too much stock in what others think about you. Do you make any assumptions about the drivers of these cars? No.

The battered British Prime Minister Theresa May, on the other hand, is working towards a postponement of the Brexit and wants to rule out an EU withdrawal without an agreement a so called hard Brexit in any case, British media report. In this way she wants to keep the reins of action in the face of resistance in parliament and in her own government in her hands.

Questionable driving, to say the least. That not to say that there aren LMP drivers who don know what they doing many don but my own perspective of being someone who loves racing both GT cars and prototypes has seen a lot more issues with the GT traffic being completely unaware of oncoming cars or outright blocking them in dangerous fashion than some of the questionable overtakes I see from prototype drivers.Without turning this post into a bit of a rant, getting proper multiclass experience is vital if you plan on racing GTE cars, moreso if you want to race them in more than just IMSA.

Go to your Bluetooth settings on your phone and scan for available devices to pair with. Find the OBDII scanner in the list (probably will be the only one) and pair the device to your phone. You can enter the suggested password of 0000 or 1234, and it should pair up.

Obviously they woud say that it was a big setback so they can “blame” most things for it if the development would have gone wrong. As would do any other manufacturer. About the factory mindset, what the point in using MTEK for developing the car when BMW have Team Schnitzer that is a much more experienced, proven team in both car developing and endurance racing? What the point in leaving the WEC after just one season, when the road car isn even ready.

Last week the weather was nice so I tried to send the departure times to the car using the Connected app on my iPhone, and it failed. I did manage to get the climatize feature to work once, from the old i Remote app, but it also has failed every time I tried to send the departure times to the car.

The final system is the registration standard. There are two documents that you will need here. The first is the Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I (a small, folded up piece of paper with the registration particulars of the car) and the Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II (a certificate that confirms the ownership of the car within Germany). The former needs to be kept in the vehicle at all times and produced to the Polizei on demand, while the latter should be stored safely elsewhere because it functions as a deed of ownership for the vehicle. You will need both documents to transfer registration of the vehicle, so make sure they are provided and match the vehicle when you acquire it. If these are missing, the Kraftfahrzeugzulassungsstelle (Vehicle Registration Office) may refuse to register your car or may deem the vehicle to be a foreign vehicle, subjecting you to 10% duty and 19% VAT on the vehicle’s value. All of these papers with their extremely long names left me scratching my head in confusion when I received them. To think, we in Australia just take a sticker that Vic Roads (the registration department) prints out for us and simply stick it to the windshield. How very unsophisticated of us!

It was under warranty after all, right? I felt like I was an alien They are not used to people taking out their batteries apparently. They advised me to replace the battery and have it towed to the dealership. Which I did.I did learn something today. The tow truck operator used a jump starter and it ran fine.

So try to keep the weight in the front as much as possible (even in slight corners where you don need to brake) just tap the brakes slightly to swift the weight to the front (start driving Porsches to master this, especially the RSR is a good learning tool for this).

Finishes In an effort to keep things inexpensive, most importers stock a selection of 6 8 cabinet doors and styles/finishes. You can’t mix and match. If you are fond of the “Brighton” door, you had better reconcile yourself to the finish it comes in. The finishes are typically water based or use atypical solvent properties, so repair can be a problem if you need to touch up a scratch. It’s not uncommon for the finish to wipe right off with a rag that has the repair material on it. Stains are always applied with spray equipment as opposed to wiped on with a rag, an issue which often leads to color drift from batch to batch and different colors from piece to piece (such as a filler compared to a door). Glazes are applied with a marker pen as opposed to true glazing which is wiped on the whole surface and then wiped back off and left to hang in the profiles.

After five or ten minutes of gently trying to persuade this piece of crap on wheels to navigate the icy road I give up. I reverse it into a passable imitation of a deliberate piece of parking it’s off to the side of the road, no longer blocking it and there is no hope of driving it anywhere or putting it back on her drive.

After a few tense minutes, she reached the space station. It seemed to be an ancient industrial station, build to dock ships during the terraforming effort and altered first for business and later for commerce as the planet was colonized. It had weathered the Calamity War, and had weathered this battle too. Scars from debris impacts dotted its surface, and big blast shields covered the hangar doors. Of course they would be on lockdown, there was a battle going on next to them. Time to try something stupid I guess.

You will also need to specify the actice cell phone number for use with your account. Only one active phone number per account is allowed per subscription fee. You can have more than one active phone number linked to your account but you have to pay an additional subscription fee for each additional active phone number. If your phone number changes, you can add your new phone number, deactivate the old number, then activate the new number and you will not be charged the additional subscription fee.

I highly recommend searching around on the web for lease calculators (leasehackr has a great one) and getting the selling price, residual, and money factor for the car that you really want (dealers should give this to you, or you can check the forums on edmunds). Run those numbers through the calculator and see what your lease price should be.

I’m a car seat tech btw. In my opinion, the hardest sedans to fit 2 car seats in are Subarus. Any mid size sedan (other than a Subaru) should be fine though. Volkswagens tend to have very roomy back seats, and the Passat has very high safety ratings. The BMW 5 Series has a good back seat.

It was common with those cars, particularly the coupe models and if your in an accident your insurance won pay out if the car is re specced. Plus, if there high mileage I strongly reccomend you get a mechanic you trust to check out the car. Even the best petrol engines will tend to calve after 120k miles, particularly in a BMW because the youngfellas who tend to be the third owner drive the arse out of them.My advice? If your going to by any car more than 10 years old buy a diesel for reliability.

If you are a passive aggressive jerk and start games off demanding this or that or take the courier 11 times and flame people for it, consistently make terrible decisions and aren at least apologetic, then yeah reports matter a little bit, because your behavior score will trend downwards and you get lower quality matches with more people like you.

Thank you for pointing this out, had it fail on my last BMW right after warranty expired. The cost to fix was so bad it became the down payment on my model S at the time. Convinced my wife to dump her Jeep and we now left ICE behind never going back. Everyone says I’m crazy and instantly defends BMW when I mention this to them. It’s like they make their stuff designed to fail. I get so sick of hearing how their motor will last forever when it’s all the little things that’s around it that will cause you to go broke sans warranty.

“stomping on a mans head with his boots as hard as he could” (bolding added). In addition, you have now indicated that there was more than one stomp; seems to me that multiple “full force” stomps will almost certainly break a neck. Not necessarily so with and easy kick or even a hard one, but “full force” multiple kicks? Do you retract the bolded part or do you offer your tests taken to substantiate the claim as true?

I forgot to mention that the “kit” 55 200 and 55 300 lenses are actually fine little lenses. They lightweight and compact (especially the 55 200) and take perfectly fine pictures (although the 55 300 may be a little soft past 200mm from my very limited experience with them). They big thing is they don focus as quickly and surely as the bigger lenses with the true AF S ring motors in them. I found my old 55 200 VR useless for stuff like football with lots of chaotic movement and disappearing subjects but for more predictable sports like tennis and baseball in the daytime, it did pretty well and I got a lot of good shots with mine over the years your hit rate isn as high though because you miss things because the lens just couldn rack to where you needed it fast enough. I do recommend VR on these lenses as they don have the mass of the bigger lenses and don damp vibrations naturally as much which makes the image in the viewfinder (and what the AF sensor is seeing) jump around a lot more, even if you shooting at speeds that don normally require VR.

Hubby bought an older M5 through Dubizzle. It was an incredible beast to drive but it kept breaking down. He sold it on Dubizzle, got a gently used BMW from Abu Dhabi. Drove it until the service warranty was about to expire. Weirdly, it was a model that AGMC Dubai was trying to convince Emirates Airlines to add to its fleet of Skywards cars, so every now and then hubby would exchange his car for a fancy loaner car while it was borrowed by EA. Eventually hubby and I agreed to trade in both cars so he could get a second gently used one, again from AGMC Abu Dhabi.

Also, for all points cards here, there are so many carve outs that it’s impossible to track what kind of spend earns a full point vs a tenth of a point unless it’s very specific like the cash back cards mentioned above. I paid AED 30k once for a car down payment on my SPG Emirates NBD card thinking I’d get 8k SPG points. I got less than a thousand points and promptly cancelled.

Bill became the youngest Governor of AK at age 32, and was re elected, after skipping a term, to keep the title for ten more years. He tried to make education a priority, and with Hillary, a lawyer working on issues concerning women and children’s issues, they became a power couple. When he ran for President with Al Gore, he often said that with he and Hillary, the American people would be “getting two for one”, as she was a partner in the Rose Law Firm and very involved in political issues. Clinton presided over the longest peacetime period of economic expansion in American history. He passed the North American Free Trade Treaty. He made family leave a priority, signing the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, making sure people could leave work for a period to care for any family member who needed their attention without losing their job.

Having said all this, the best feature of connected drive is that sometimes its able to pull locations from google and take you there; so you don need to have every business listed in the car directory. Oh and street view. It will show you street view of the destination before you get there ;)This. Even the same car you can get 30 50K off for 6 12 months used.

They use the 8 series for marketing reasons it the car they want to sell with that program. This has been brought up many times before. What the point in spending millions on a racing program without a plan to get a return on that investment?This is literally what I meant with “Sure, I rather see the M4 as a GTE car but, it completely reasonable why they aren using that.” so not sure what the point.

Worth noting, these are my guesstimates on two cars I don own so I could be wrong on everything. Funny side note the cost of operation of the Model 3 is laughably lower than my GT R. The GT R costs 4x+ per mile vs a P3D(!) But I been pretty good at estimating the operational cost of the GT R so this has been my starting point to understand what the costs of an EV might look like.

By my math, with the downpayment in 7 years, this would have lost you about $60k even at 5% interest on the money if you invested it. Is the BMW worth the $60k setback? My personal answer is no. I’d personally get a 15 20k certified used car you’d have a lot of options 바카라사이트 then.

She reached for her headphones, deciding music would help her think. She grabbed at empty air, remembering that she had been wearing them when the explosion happened. Where did they go? She examined the cockpit desperately, eventually spotting them wedged behind one of her foot pedals. Lucky. I hadn tried moving yet. I might have crushed them otherwise.” With her music recovered, she pondered her dilemma.

Ugh, I went to Babies R us and tried car seats and out of the 12 that I liked, NONE of them fit in the rear facing position in the center of the back seat. I had to put both front seats so far forward to get the baby seat at 45 degrees that there was no way for me to get in behind the wheel (I’m tall, so I need the seat about 2/3rds of the way back). I called 3 bmw dealerships and they could not care less. Now I know I will not be buying another BMW for my next car (customer service is important), but what should I do now?

Madonna hosted the first MTV Video Award show. She stood atop a huge wedding cake, and while wearing a wedding gown and white gloves, rolled around on the floor! She has said it was “the most blatant sexual thing” she ever did on TV. The film stars her in a hilarious love story and case of mistaken identity, and introduced her song, “Into the Groove.”

Furthermore, I’m curious as to how people in Europe and other countries (where the average vehicle isn’t an SUV or larger) get by with their car seats. I’m assuming their “standards” must be much lower because how else would they be able to fit American sized car seats in their small cars.

Thanks for the reply. I curious, when you say your sons “love their screen time”, can you give more detail? I ask because my son basically begs constantly for it. On weekends for example he basically just follow me around begging until I get frustrated enough that I tell him if he asks again he won get any screen time for the rest of the weekend. If he in front of a screen, I swear I could walk away for 10 hours and he just sit there playing. My daughter eventually gets bored and will look for something else to do, and she never begs. I had some concern my son desire for screens is outside of what normal, but I don have any comparison so I don know if that true.

I’d avoid the AD dealership at all costs, cars might have longer warranty and service contracts / more options but service is garbage; they will up sell you random stuff and not take responsibility for their own mistakes. I own a BMW in Abu Dhabi fwiw and trust me with these high performance cars, you’ll want that extended warranty and service contract. PM me if you have any other questions.

These bikes are extremely rare today. This was the first motorcycle made under the BMW name. It was the beginning of the legendary boxer twin engine and shaft drive layout that is still going strong on BMW’s today. These bikes were only made from 1923 1926, so there are very few people living that have had the pleasure of riding one. The bike was fairly advanced for its day using a wet sump lubrication system while most others had the archaic total loss system still in place. It had a rather large for the time 486cc engine that put out 8.5 hp, which may not sound like much, but was good enough for 59 mph and 78 mpg.

However, the person who first developed a rotor was Abraham Louis Perrelet (1729 1826), one of Switzerland’s greatest watchmakers of all time, considered the father of the automatic watch. He introduced the concept in 1770 and was way ahead of 바카라사이트 his time since the invention was better suited to wristwatches and Perrelet lived in the pocket watch era. Obviously, the watches couldn’t move in pockets enough to wind the mainspring, so the rotor system didn’t perform well. Another Swiss watchmaker, Abraham Louis Breguet (1747 1823) improved self winding watches and named them “perpetuelles” (the likely source of Rolex’s term). Other watchmaking greats of the 19th century advanced the concept. But it wasn’t until World War I that Rolex perfected its system and automatic watches became popular.

From easiest and less is the following. A consideration many overlook is the radiator cap itself. If it does not maintain a specified pressure the system will run hotter. When water is under pressure the boiling point is raised. Many parts stores will test the cap for you for free. Caution is strongly advised to only remove the cap when the engine is cold. Best have a professional do this.

I didn realize there was GT3 cars and GTE cars, that makes sense though, I was wondering what the Merc and Audi were doing in there. So in your option I should do a season in the GT3 cars, and then move up to GTE after that? Even if I have some experience with GT3 already? I guess sticking with GT3 would let me feel out how the series itself actually works, that way I won be wrestling with learning a new faster car AND learning the series as well.

The first generation Miata was first sold in 1989 with a 1.6 L I4 that made 115 hp. For the 1994 model year, Mazda upgraded the Miata’s engine to a 1.8 L making 131 hp. Like the MR 2, the Miata makes do with less horsepower because it is very lightweight with good weight balance and rear wheel drive. A limited slip differential was offered as an optional extra with manual transmission cars (an automatic transmission was offered, but proved unpopular). There wasn’t much in the way of luxury, especially in the first few years of production. Air conditioning, stereo, power steering, and alloy wheels were all absent from the base model in 1989 in order to lower the entry price, although features such as these became standard later on. A first generation (1989 1998) Miata will run you $1,500 $8,000, with price varying based on age, mileage, and condition.

I make that trip a few times a year for racing. it doesn make financial sense to take an additional two days off for travel, just do it in one long haul. Most of the guys I race with are doing the same thing. Of course, that only 20 ish people so it sure is an edge case but there are also plenty of people in the US doing similar travel.

) My brother drives like a magician and studied in oxford. MG sports started in Oxford. odd links that tie family together and make sense of things you never thought meant anything. To be a classic, a car has to be repairable. Parts have to be available. They want appraisal of their cars.

3 weeks ago the starter motor went, and thanks to the way the new headers run I had to remove the left side instead of just undoing three bolts and a plug on the starter itself. New starter in and exhaust back on, car tries to start now but has a very slow crank. I jump start it and check the charging voltage, it 12.8V, I figure my alternator must be bad and give up until next weekend.

While the other may have attributes and abilities that you aspire to have or wish you had, your putting them on a pedestal continually keeps these same attributes and abilities out of your reach. You have given your power over to the person on a pedestal. Often groups of people will elevate another to pedestal power and this is how cults come into being. Whether the person has been placed there by the false precepts of others or demanded to be put their by some false delusions of their own, nobody belongs on a pedestal at least nobody who is alive. Even then some of mankind’s great icons have had extreme personality flaws and areas of their lives in which they were barely functioning.

You could own a car for 15 years and never replace a window regulator, or it could break and it $500 700 at the dealer. You could have no transmission issues for 15 years (cost would be regular maintenance on it), or your transmission could shit the bed and you going to have a hear attack seeing the repair cost.

I torn about this stuff. There are a lot of things that are really insensative to say or do, but asking a couple you plan to have kids? doesnt seem offensive to me. Its only a loaded question or insensative if the other person is uncomfortable, and maybe they wont be.

Now since rational people realize you can have open borders. When people do come in undocumented. You have to hold them, process them then deport them to thier home country. Because they don have any documentation this can take time. Hence you need a place for them to live while they are processed.

I’m a car seat tech btw. In my opinion, the hardest sedans to fit 2 car seats in are Subarus. Any mid size sedan (other than a Subaru) should be fine though. Volkswagens tend to have very roomy back seats, and the Passat has very high safety ratings. The BMW 5 Series has a good back seat.

From 1990 1993, Acura sold the second generation Integra, perhaps the most popular among enthusiasts. You’ll want to find one with the 1.8 L engine producing 130 hp or the top level GS R Integra which was first introduced in 1992. Featuring Honda’s VTEC (Variable valve Timing and lift Electronic Control), the GS R’s engine produced160 hp and proved to be a favorite for tuners and enthusiast drivers alike.

All RTA Cabinets Are Not Created EqualReady to assemble cabinets are a great way to save money on your next kitchen or bath remodel. They offer value, quick turn around time, and rich features that can rival what you might find in a semi custom line that costs twice as much.

BMWs in general are expensive to maintain due to parts cost and increased hourly rates since the cars are priced higher than average to begin with. If you want a diesel car you either get an MB, BMW, Jaguar, or Chevy Cobalt. Only the Chevy Cobalt will be cheap to maintain, but finding a quality mechanic to maintain the diesel in the Chevy may prove difficult.

They use the 8 series for marketing reasons it the car they want to sell with that program. This has been brought up many times before. What the point in spending millions on a racing program without a plan to get a return on that investment?Trying to get a favorable BoP? Thats what every team needs to do in a BoP class.

Madonna also filed for divorce from Ritchie in 12/08, although she did adopt another child from Malawi, Mercy James. She also performed in the Hope for Haiti Earthquake Relief Concert in 1/10 to help assist those in need. Madonna performed at the Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show in 2012, and did an excellent version of “Like a Prayer”, with backup choirs. Her popularity is attributed to the numerous turning points in her own life and the way she has been so honest about them. Madonna’s upbeat dance music is liked by many audiences.

I got caught up in line at Cub today cuz the boy behind the counter didn’t know how to process WIC. One lady got so annoyed at me for holding up the line, she scoffed and went to the customer service desk three feet away and got snippy with the lady there. I felt terrible, and it must’ve shown on my face because the next people in line smiled at me and said they understood, they’d been in my shoes and they know how hard times are now. They were a nice older couple, the woman even gave me a small hug and told me to keep doing everything I could for my beautiful son, because that is all a mother can be expected to do. I bawled, and Mar just smiled at her.

The composer Sir Thomas Beecham famously said: “In this life, try everything once, except for incest and folk dancing” to which I have always mentally appended “and free fall parachuting, and driving at the ‘ring’.” Yet taking up the Nrburgring gauntlet has become almost a rite of passage for any self respecting fan of high speed driving, and not doing so is akin to an opera lover ignoring Glyndebourne or an oenophile avoiding Chteau Ptrus.

I really didn think it felt like a RWD since I didn feel any sign of losing the rear end under power, only under braking (and thought I read something about “taking advantage of the FWD”, but that must have been the last car I drove, lol). I think I need to downshift later as well, too aggressive downshifting wont help with the rear in a RWD.Ok, straight line braking it is! Turbo lag is a problem I think, I don have a clutch pedal (yet).

Later if you must get an prestigious badged car (It arguable in SoCal if any of the big 3 german brands can be viewed as prestigious short of the $150k+ semi exotics), go buy an 3 year old CPO BMW for 50% of MSRP while still having 2 3 more years of CPO warranty coverage.

If the engine is a V8 or V6 and only one side or bank is reporting a fault code it could be a leaking intake manifold gasket or leaking manifold. If you have logged both codes, however, it is unlikely that a leaking manifold would be the issue since both manifolds would have to be leaking.

Crew Chief can tell you how much fuel you using a lap and how long you have left, so you simply say fuel to end and it fuel you for the end of the race and a bit over. For tyres, you can either untick them in the black box at the start of the race, or say clear tyres to Crew Chief.What would you recommend between the Merc and the Audi?I only have the Merc, but I know that the Merc is fast and pretty forgiving.

Then get an EVSE. They not expensive. A good one with WiFi for remote monitoring is $500. The electrician work should be another $500 or less. (I paid $200 for a used EVSE that doesn have WiFi, and because I was installing my EVSE immediately outside and below my breaker box, the electrician fee to install the outlet was only $250.) Yes, you can use the included 120V cable, but it isn meant for every day use.

He was recovering from gall bladder surgery when he suffered a heart arrhythmia and passed away suddenly in 1987 (perhaps the fears of hospitals were a premonition)? He left money and art to his family, but donated the rest of his belongings to the advancement of the visual arts. The Andy Warhol Foundation, opened by his brothers the same year as Warhol’s passing, “is primarily focused on supporting work of a challenging and experimental nature.” This Foundation is one of the largest organizations to give grants to new artists who wish to experiment in new media in the United States.

I don know what your budge looks like but if you own a raptor I image you like some power. I have the Performance Model 3 and it is the fastest car I have ever own and I have fixed up a lot of cars. The performance model comes with Michelin pilot sports 4s tires and they are needed that car is a freakin rocket even in the turns. That car is not a one trick pony, it is a full blown track ready car but can also drive like a normal family sedan without sacrifice. The fully self driving is not out yet but there are already features exclusive to having purchased it. Autopilot has been getting noticeable updates about every week or two. This car is absolutely outrageous how amazing it is. I went all out upgrading it and have no regrets. Let me know if you have any questions.

And on a roadtrip? You have to go to the bathroom, maybe buy some more water, possibly a snack. If you have young kids it more involved, there are diaper changes involved, cleaning the car of trash and disposing of it properly, and so forth. By the time that is done, you received the “you may incur idle fees” message on your phone.

Madonna married actor Sean Penn in 1985 on her birthday, while filming the video for Material Girl. She dedicated her album True Blue to him, but they divorced in 1987, because he drank and became abusive, and she admits to being obsessed with her career. Madonna also played the part of Eva Peron very well on the stage, a role she really wanted, which won her both a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award for the title song, “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina.” Madonna studied with a vocal coach and has a serious work ethic. She was one of the first artists seen wearing a headset while performing on stage. She often had to lip synch because the dance numbers which accompanied her songs were so intense.

Makes sense, I never thought about that. What would you recommend between the Merc and the Audi?So in your option I should do a season in the GT3 cars, and then move up to GTE after that?Yep. The experience you gain will be invaluable. You may even get up to Class B in that time and be able to race in VRS Sprint/Endurance, which is a GT3 only series, and intensely, intensely competitive.

With their gentle power delivery, shaft drive and proven reliability, these machines established BMW as a maker of motorcycles for covering large distances in comfort, both as standard two wheelers and when hooked up to luxurious sidecars by the likes of Steib or Stoye. One such R61 withStoye sidecar made $24,725 when it crossed the block at Bonhams in Las Vegas earlier this year and an R60/2 and Steib pairing made $17,550 as far back as 2007.

2. Factory Five Racing Type 65 DaytonaThere aren’t many cars that are more beautiful than the AC Cobra, but this is one of them. Based on the super rare, race spec only 1964/1965 Shelby Daytona, this is a stunning kit for those wanting something a little special and rare. They only ever built six originals, so there aren’t too many floating about.

On a side note, the best one that I’ve seen so far was FAB’s 120k Etihad miles after 10k dirham spend within 6 months with no annual fee the first year. Catch is that if you cancel within 18 months, you pay AED2500, which is still a good deal. It’s effectively round trip in business to London on Etihad.

I would test the car seats out in the BMW before buying. Install the forward facing radian in the third row and see how it fits. Also climb back there yourself and your husband and see if you fit and would want to sit back there, or if it will be a useful third row for anyone.

For the BMWs, I just not a fan. I liked the interior a touch more but I just couldn get into the car and really enjoy it, something about it was just lackluster in the driving department and I really disliked the exterior of the car. I didn feel connected to the car like I did in the ATS and that really cheapened the experience, I also not a fan of what it costs to maintain and own one.

They don’t get a say in Scotland using the pound but without a formal currency union Scotland using GBP would be mad. the Bank of England would control Scotland’s monetary policy and interest rates, and Scotland couldn’t do anything about that as it’s not their currency, they just use it. And as the previous post said there would be no currency union according to all the big parties in Westminster.

Break ins happen, and I willing to bet your Ranger was hit instead of those BMW or MB because they knew the truck likely didn have an alarm and because of the aftermarket radio (I sure the BMW will have a pricey radio module, but people aren buying stolen 2016 BMW parts on craigslist unlike generic headunits).

One other point to remember: If you have an acceptable foreign license, you can register your vehicle without an issue. However, be aware that in Germany there are time limits for driving under foreign licenses. Some licenses (such as Australian licenses) can be exchanged only within the time period. Once the prescribed time period expires, you will be required to learn to drive through the German system. This will take months of lessons and cost you a small fortune. Add to that the requirement of passing an exam 카지노사이트 that is written in German and you have every incentive you need to exchange your license in a timely manner. They also demanded to see my original Anmeldung paper, signed stamped by the city to prove my residential address.

But is it accurate to just make the blanket statement that “there are no EVs for car guys”? Nah. Car guys can be found driving almost anything. RWD BMWs made out of CF. Teslas running with Alfa Qs and M3s even on road courses. Chevy Spark with 400ftlb of torque that you could lease for like $100 or buy for like $9k now?

We lost a cop near me a while back blown away while walking up to a traffic stop. It’s real easy to second guess these cops when they’re not you, not [/i] your[/i] father or your spouse. Were my spouse a traffic cop now, I would almost demand that she have a weapon in hand when walking to a stopped car.

I ordered this from Amazon and included the photos here. So far it has worked flawlessly for me with my wife’s 2006 BMW X3 and my 2004 Toyota Tundra Double Cab. I was able to read 2 fault codes in the BMW and clear both so the Service Engine Soon light was turned off (see disclaimer below on doing this).

Then, cash assistance is now called work first. You get like 200 bucks a MONTH for a family of 3 but you have are required to look for a job atleast 25 hours a week. And to top it off, if you pos SD (sperm donor) does pay child support the state takes it as rembursement till what they gave you is paid back.

VeChain is the world’s leading Enterprise focused dApp/ICO platform for products and information. It aims to connect blockchain technology to the real world by providing robust infrastructure as well as IOT integration, with scalability up to 10,000 tx/s and pioneering in building real world applications. This is being achieved through partnerships and collaborations with innovative brands and industries. Forget about BMW. try dozens (hundreds?) of independent repair shops, insurance companies, taxi companies, rental companies, gas stations (?).

6. LimousineLimousines, or ‘limos’, are very luxurious sedans with long, enclosed bodies. Previously, this term was used for cars with an enclosed passenger area and an open topped driver’s seat, where the front of the roof elongated to provide shade for the driver. But things have changed a lot since then; now limos are fully covered from the outside, and they have highly luxurious compartments inside. Still, the compartment for the driver remains separate.

I chime in here because I have extensive experience with both. The M235/240 has a superior powertrain. It smoother, less peaky, and revs more freely. Body control is also superior on the BMW through the corners, but it does ride harsher than the Benz due to the short wheelbase. The Benz has a hugely superior EPS system and turns in sharper, making it feel like a more aggressive car. The BMW is a lot more playful in the corner, though, where the Benz can be overly neutral.

It was Andy Warhol who first coined the phrases, “15 minutes of fame”, and also “90% of life is about showing up”, part of American lexicon now. Warhol headed a pivotal exhibit in 1964 called “The American Supermarket.” He painted pictures of regular items people bought on a typical shopping trip, except they sold for $1,500.00 a piece. He made it difficult for critics to define art, and what was not art.

Really? You never used the facilities at a gas station? Let be real, we all know what we talking about here. Gas you can pump quick and get 300 500+ miles of range (I would routinely get 550 miles highway on a tank in my manual Accord), EVs are not there right now.

Our goal is to have only two vehicles, however we are trying to find something that meets our needs. DH (dear husband) drives 130 km to work one way, in the winter he usually stays near his work (he receives a generous travel and board allowance) but we live in an area with tons of snow we’ve had roads shut down multiple times, people ending up in the ditch including DH (dear husband) once this winter (he was driving the van with snow tires as his car was in the shop). So he really does need a AWD/4×4 in the winter. The issue is how much fuel these vehicles use, so DH (dear husband) really wants to get a BMW X3/5 diesel, but those cost more than we want to spend at this point.

You’re 100% correct. I’m just addressing the culture as a whole and how it’s limiting Tesla as a company. All brands have bad apples but in most cases it doesn’t have the kind of impact that it does with Tesla. At least in my opinion. Porsche owners are right behind Tesla owners. In fact, one thing I’ve come to learn since buying the GT3 is that most Porsche owners are Porsche enthusiasts, not car enthusiasts. That’s especially true for the GT cars.

As with its Race Car Replica sibling, this one is a near complete kit. All you need to add is engine, transmission, and battery. Once again, it comes in at $44,000. Engine choice is once again varied, although they recommend either a Chevy LS engine or a twin turbo Lexus V8 set up. You can pick these up cheap. The all aluminum construction and standard forged internals make this a great engine if you fancy 1000bhp. FAST!

No, you retard! I used the word that I did because it had the exact meaning that I wanted to use! How fucking difficult is that to understand that someone can use words that portray the exact idea they want to portray? Like for fuck sake, specific words have better uses in specific contexts. Stop trying to impart your own bullshit on me. I done with your terrible examples, just goddamned stop trying this. You are wrong, and always will be wrong, because I used the word with the exact meaning I wanted. Not the word that you goddamn want. The rules of language are very clear, you don get to decide them.

Recently, I picked up a 1999 MKIV Jetta 2. It was slow, and as good as the thing looked, it ran like sht. After replacing the downpipe and cat (this car failed emissions hard), I was getting error code 16518, “No Activity Bank 1 Sensor 1″ on my VAG COM. As well as 16521, “Bank 1 Sensor 2 Signal Intermittent,” which I wasn’t too concerned about.

Roughly 1/2 of your annual income. Also, if you take a loan out on the car, it could mean that the car will cost you 10 25% more than the sticker price. Yikes!Yes, saving up could take up to a year but you will save yourself from looking like a douchebag (to some) for buying a brand new bmw your first month of work at your first job.

I want to have an idea of what to have my husband look for, for my 2005 BMW 3 series sedan. Also, I’m thinking of POSSIBLY getting 2 car seats, to easily accomodate hubby and I. He has a Lexus E class 300, which is a lot roomier than mine and shouldn’t be too hard to get a seat for.

Clinton was born and raised in Arkansas, and didn’t even know for sure who his father was, bringing home the fact Baby Boomers grew up on that anyone could grow up to be President. Clinton was always a top student, graduating from Georgetown University and earning a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford University. He also attended Yale Law School, and has a law degree, but never practiced law. He did, however, meet Hillary Rodham at Yale, and they married a year later. Many of Hillary’s friends thought she was crazy to move from her Chicago home to live in Arkansas, but she did it anyway.

I see this problem like the housing problem. People without houses want cheaper places to live. Everyone wants more housing but no one wants them to build it near them. Point is unchecked immigration would lead to a lot of issues that the people pushing for it won have to deal with so they are ok with it.

Some Final ThoughtsThe above cars represent only a small portion of the kit cars and replicas that are available to buy these days. These are however amongst the best and not just because of the car they are, but the amount of time, energy, thought and money that’s spent on developing them. They are truly amazing cars and in comparison to other cars in the same price band, so much better value!

I’ve often thought there should be a minimum age requirement for police. At least 35 years old before they can carry a gun along with very strict, psychological high standards. I have scars older than 20 years. A 20 year old cannot make life and death decisions coupled with the wisdom that is only acquired through length of life. Citizen’s lives are in the balance: elderly, bystanders, children, people that are emotionally distraught, etc, and the person that holds their lives in the balance could have been watching cartoons and drinking Nestle Quick, 5 years prior. That to me is concerning,

We actually in Southern Ontario but in the snowbelt a couple of weeks ago all of the roads in our county were closed for a couple of days. We new here so it been quite a learning experience. DH says nearly everyone he works with owns an SUV/truck. At least they do get paid when there are snow days.

Operation of the mp3 player is very much like using your phone. You can either use the dash to browse your mp3 files or use the voice commands. You can, however, use the dash to browse your mp3 files while the vehicle is in motion. I try to avoid this because of the obvious driving distraction hazard. Voice commands for the mp3 player include “play artist”, “play album”, “play playlist”, “next track”, and “previous track”. When you connect your mp3 player to your vehicle the computer may tell you it cannot index all the files on your device. Do not despair if you get this message. The computer won’t download your pictures or videos to the vehicle, only audio files. When your mp3 player is playing through the Sync system, the artist’s name and current song title will be displayed on the dash screen.

I was informed by the dealer, that due to some changes Audi made in the brake materials, squeaking was normal. It was such a common complaint, I was even given a pre printed pamphlet all about “brake noise”. I was relieved that nothing was wrong with my brakes, but the squeaking can be very annoying.

1 is honestly going to be a tough one. There were comments on the LA Times article to the effect of “he wasn winning prize money, so why does anyone care?” People who don competitively do amateur endurance sports really have no idea how much it does matter to those of us who do them.

On day 88 of the Silverock 90 day plan, I had a drivetrain error pop up out of nowhere. I notified Carvana of the issue since time might be a factor on repair under the Silverock Plan. The dealer figured out the problem and decided they run it through BMW warranty for less hassle. It was in the shop for 30 days waiting for parts from the motherland. They gave me a 320i free of charge. The malfunction was a slight, minuscule drip of coolant from the electric cabinet heater onto its HV line. Both the line and heater element were replaced.

Once the box is down, as you can see in the pictures, there is a little plastic wall that holds the harnesses in place. The brown harness is for the post (back) 02 sensor and the black is for the primary (front) 02 sensor. Pull the black harness out of the wall and unclip it. Once it is unclipped release the wires from the clips along the bottom.

Water Pump and Thermostat Housing Leak: The water pump leaking on the first two generations of Minis was a fairly common occurrence. They often had to be replaced at over 50,000 miles. The thermostat housing in the second generation models were made of plastic. This would naturally break down over time.

When we bought this car, I was in the midst of the throws of infertility and even with the tiniest glimmer of hope that I’d ever get pregnant, I didn’t think there would be any issue with fitting a rear facing car seat in the back. After all, the back two bucket seats both have the latches for car seat systems. ) is the smallest one I’d find. With my passenger seat in its very most foward and upright position, I literally had to use my body weight to click it to where it would stay put without springing into the dash again. Is it possible that this sales associate was correct in telling me that this is the smallest car seat available in the United States? I want to believe that she’s wrong.

People here are different. In MN there are so many of us struggling, it’s depressing. Hell, I moved in with my aunt and uncle thinking they had it good; a nice house in the best city in the state, she is an accountant, he stays home. I really thought they had the good life. After I moved in, I discovered they’ve had to spend tens of thousands to repair the house; the entire east wall was rotten and so is a large chunk of the roof, the floorboards upstairs and carpeting in the basement were shot to hell, and whoever installed the electrical wires in the house screwed up big time. He doesn’t work because he’s on disability, having lost most of his cognitive thinking and reasoning, and she works as many hours as she can to make up the difference. Turns out I’m helping them way more than I ever thought I could. I help him fix the house during the day, I bought groceries for everyone today, and just by being here, my son has helped cheer both of them up so much. Everyone’s truly struggling.

The Defender is a great narrow seat for 3 across that’s really budget friendly. Keeps just about every child in a 5 point harness until they are at an appropriate booster age (5 6 years old). My almost 6yo twin sibs are both in Defenders with at least 1 2 years left before they outgrow the harness mode.

Doors/drawer fronts Does the line offer the level of door selection you may need? Do you require a special color? Maybe even unfinished where you can finish it yourself? Chinese imported cabinets are rigid in this area, so look at a domestic line if you are going to require unique doors or want a special door overlay like full overlay or inset. if possible. One of the most prevalent things we have seen in the RTA industry is horrible coating quality. Unless you buy from a domestic manufacturer, you will most assuredly receive a spray applied stain versus wiped stain, and the glaze will be penned on. This is not necessarily bad, but compare brands as some of the finishes out there are quite poorly done while others are quite beautiful. Remember, hand wiped stains cost more because of the labor and material expense, but the difference is the most noticeable thing about your new ready to assemble cabinets. The hand wiped stains add a level of depth and richness you just can’t get with spray stains.

It probably will. The base is there for your convenience. If you use a seatbelt, you’ll just have to fasten/unfasten everytime you take baby out. You might decide that’s not a deal breaker. The carseat that wouldn’t fit in our car just couldn’t be made tight enough and couldn’t sit upright. If you made a sudden stop, the carseat would easily tilt backwards and baby would faceplant into the back of the seat. We tried everything, and I mean everything towels, pool noodles, etc. Everyone was sure I was installing it wrong, but sure enough, not even the experts could do it. Now it works great as a forward facing seat in my mom’s car.

“People who have a feel for a car get into an Alpina and instantly appreciate the steering reaction, the special suspension, the improved engine and so on but equally, people who don’t have that ‘feel’ tend to getin, drive for five miles and recognise that they are behind the wheel of something different,” says Andreas Bovensiepen, son of the founder and Alpina’s co owner and chief executive. “They feel that harmony.”

If you charge it home it really depends on what you are replacing it with. Many people trade in hybrids or other eco cars for these, which do not run on premium. The fuel savings are there, if you charge at home, but at current gas prices it isn a huge difference. The difference in tire replacement costs and insurance costs more than make up that difference in fuel savings over a more economical car.

First said Tesla couldn do it, Next they said no one wants it. Now they have to play catchup from a 10 year lead making them not able to make a competitive car. Honestly other EV makers should be over the moon they can sell any at all. Those poor customers don know how bad of a choice they made by not going with Tesla. For all other automakers the situation is dire and getting worse for them by the day.

Zao is not a good choice for ranked this season because you most impactful when maximizing your concealment and either lurking 4 5 km behind your DDs or flanking and catching cruisers off guard with AP volleys and farming BBs that have their guns pointed elsewhere. The problem is you get hard countered by a CV because they can permaspot you once your location is known, and your AA is pretty bad (not that any solo cruiser can defend against repeated CV strikes). Henri is better because concealment is not a big deal, you can use IFHE to burn down BBs incredibly fast, reload booster is OP, and it much faster and tankier.

I drive a 325. we have 2 Britax Marathons installed so neither is in the center, DS (dear son) 1 who is 3 sits behind the driver (DH is 6 3 so that seat needs to be able to go all the way back) DS (dear son) 2 who is 11 mo sits behind the passenger RF. But we leave that seat pushed almost all the way up. I drive the car most of the time, and not many passengers, if we do all go out in it DH (dear husband) drives, but I am short 5 4 so can handle the passenger seat being pushed up. Before we had DS2 in the graco snugride on the passenger side. But now with the july baby coming it looks like I am trurning in my car. very sad.

The summit looks good, but most people are overhyping it a lot. BMW for instance mentions on stage that their proof of concept was succesful, but the future will be long and complicated as Germans (BMW) are very skeptical of new technologies. 카지노사이트 The concept looks great, but it is not much different from many prototypes on other chains.

Having said all this, the best feature of connected drive is that sometimes its able to pull locations from google and take you there; so you don need to have every business listed in the car directory. Oh and street view. It will show you street view of the destination before you get there ;)This. Even the same car you can get 30 50K off for 6 12 months used.

Our goal is to have only two vehicles, however we are trying to find something that meets our needs. DH (dear husband) drives 130 km to work one way, in the winter he usually stays near his work (he receives a generous travel and board allowance) but we live in an area with tons of snow we’ve had roads shut down multiple times, people ending up in the ditch including DH (dear husband) once this winter (he was driving the van with snow tires as his car was in the shop). So he really does need a AWD/4×4 in the winter. The issue is how much fuel these vehicles use, so DH (dear husband) really wants to get a BMW X3/5 diesel, but those cost more than we want to spend at this point.

What happening here is that he is crying out for validation. There a reason he is constantly talking or thinking about you and my first assumption would be is that you intimidate him, so his emotional response to express the exact opposite and he acts like your the idiot when in reality he just projecting.

12) Tulsi Gabbard. As a Veteran x1000. She had good presentation, I give her that. But the only position I got out of her was a war hawk that doesn want war. OK, fine, Hillary ran on that platform and it was great. But she had very little other positions, and can hold a candle to Hillary diplomacy mastery so I don even know how she pull off the no war part.

Make sure you aren on the gas and have the engine bouncing against the rev limiter when you clutch in to shift. But you also don have to wait for the revs to fall. Letting the clutch out while not on gas would match revs for you. When you are slotting the stick into the next gear, your right foot should be completely off the gas pedal, and clutch completely it. Let the clutch out swiftly but not dump it. Then as you let off the clutch, at the last 80% of of the way out start adding gas again. When done right and quickly, shift is smooth and doesn hurt the car.

Pacer Equipment OptionsThe Pacer was a little sparse on equipment though with an extras list that would make even present day Audi or BMW blush. Automatic transmission was an extra $299 and air conditioning $399.95 more than a tenth of the base price of $3,299. An 8 track AM/FM radio was $239.

There is an very audible rapid clicking noise that comes from the transfer case (approximately under the driver’s seat underneath the car) just after the engine is turned off. The best way to hear this is to open the driver’s side door when parked, turn off the engine and listen for the clicking noise (it may not happen EVERY time so try it a few times). The noise should only last about 1 2 seconds, see the video included here for an example of the sound.

I’ve been driving for almost 20 years accident free. That translates to about 7,300 days of driving genius, with a substantial dose of switching to different sides of the road as I changed continents. So I take a measure of pride in my safe driving record, especially considering some of the places I have driven in. Not surprisingly, the German registration rules required me to obtain my own third party insurance from a German based insurer before my car registration would be processed. But imagine my surprise when I learned that no German insurer would recognise my driving record. Despite going to every major insurer in Germany, the answer was always the same: We do not accept insurance records outside of the European economic area. With no way to verify my insurance history, the quotes I received were sky high almost 30% of the vehicle’s value annually and all of that money for just third party insurance coverage. I was beyond words. The bureaucratic machine had busted me down to an 18 year old, albeit without the youth to match!

On board the station, a bored man in his mid thirties wearing a dress shirt with coffee stains on the hem sat drumming his fingers while watching a sports broadcast. He went to take a sip of coffee without looking. The panel in front of him flashed, chirping to indicate an incoming communication request. He choked on his coffee, spilling some more onto his shirt. “Who the hell?!”

All RTA Cabinets Are Not Created EqualReady to assemble cabinets are a great way to save money on your next kitchen or bath remodel. They offer value, quick turn around time, and rich features that can rival what you might find in a semi custom line that costs twice as much.

Usually, in vehicles that have a hatchback style trunk (with an open seat back) you will find the anchor on the back of the seat and sometimes in the ceiling (for the middle seat position). If the trunk is closed, you typically find the anchor spot behind the headrest. I know you will be tired, but installing the seat properly is very important. If the person picking you up doesn’t know whet to find the anchors in their vehicle, ask them to look it up in their manual as soon as they can.

The great recession is still in progress and till it’s gonna be there for quite sometime. It has affected each and everyone of us. But I was wondering what are the things that we learned (or are still learning) from the meltdown. I personally have learned two things;1. We all must have savings, no.

Assembly Chinese cabinets are manufactured with absolute ease of assembly in mind. Therefore, most of them use a cam lock mechanism where the cabinet face frame and cabinet sides/top/bottom are held together with a hook type fastener that engages the opposing piece when a screw is turned. A common application of this that we all grew up with can be found in Sauder or Ikea furniture. There are usually some plastic blocks to assist in keeping things square as well. Some manufacturers suggest the use of glue and advise that the client not depend solely on the cam locks.

I trying to play the career, but I find myself having shitloads of not fun. Which is kind of bad, since fun is the whole point of playing, right?Right now I wrestling the BMW Z4, supposed to do the first race (sprint) of the N2 stage. I put about 6, maybe 7 8, hours on practice with that car (none of them particularly fun.) on Nrburgring GP (short/sprint whatever it called) without managing to achieve better times than 1.50.3.Any time I try to run the sprint against the AI opponents, I have no problem getting up to third position on the start straight, but then there no chance in hell to keep up with the first two cars.

We lost a cop near me a while back blown away while walking up to a traffic stop. It’s real easy to second guess these cops when they’re not you, not [/i] your[/i] father or your spouse. Were my spouse a traffic cop now, I would almost demand that she have a weapon in hand when walking to a stopped car.

In terms of accidents, you right, that what insurance is for. My insurance company charges less for bfakn.club a Civic than a Model 3. IIRC it a 20%+ difference with the 3 being more expensive. The risk with insurance is if you get into a small “fender bender” in the 3. If it ends up taking 6 10 weeks to fix, as many have found, your insurance company may only provide a loaner for the first 4 weeks. If you need the 3 for work, that a major problem. Renting a car for weeks is massively expensive. Of course there the argument that you less likely to die in a 3, and that death is worse, but I say all of this to say that small collision that are normally a non issue become a real risk. I haven attempted to quantify the risk.

Classic carsJump to Last Post 1 9 of 9 discussions (18 posts)I happen to be a guy that has spent his life enjoying classic cars. My desire started at the tender age of 12 with a 1937 Chevy pickup. You see in the state of Montana you can get a drivers license at the age of 12 for daylight hours to drive to school if there are not any school buses.

Used” front luxury cars depreciate way more steeply than most. You might want to investigate that a little before buying new. If you like me you could never have enough money to be happy wasting it.Can I ask why you considering the car if you can wrap your mind around it? I love cars too so no typical /r/pf judgment, but if you coming from something like a Corolla why not something in the middle? A $30K Mustang V 8 or even the Ecoboost, a recent $15K used Miata, hell, even a used BMW 340i or the prior gen 335i? Plenty of fun to be had without needing to buy an M3 rocketship that will empty your wallet every time you need a repair.Personally I think you can afford it but if you feeling hesitance already, why not save yourself ten grand, thirty grand, etc.

It was a mess I accidentally punted one off because he stopped (relatively) on the apex of a fast corner after he went up the inside.It shouldn be that way. If you slower than a GT3 in a GTE, you should be in a GT3. Driven properly, a GTE car is much faster than a GT3 car, and more challenging to drive.Thank you for the detailed response! So I guess I a little confused about IMSA.

It’s not just that it’s on one screen. The Hearthstone UI and animations are brilliant and under appreciated in terms of how they help with understandability. Consider the animation when a new card is drawn, for example. It comes out and at the apex of its arc, it slows down quite a bit. That combined with a strong preference for brief card text makes it easy to read as it’s drawn. Same when your opponent plays a card: the card flips over for and hangs above the board for a few seconds so you can read it.

However, as a savvy buyer, you still need to be aware of what makes a quality cabinet (regardless of where it is made) and what you may be sacrificing when you purchase imported cabinetry. I want to stress that there is nothing inherently wrong with Chinese cabinetry, but you need to go into the purchase with your eyes open because sometimes the super low, factory direct pricing can have you so giddy that you don’t consider why the price is so low.

Are people savage or primitive if they survive and thrive without electronics, cars, grocery stores?People have been considered and called less than if they survive and thrive without electronics, stores, cars, clothes, basically all of the things that are so called progress.

Yeah, but the vast majority of Brooklyn aren Nets fans. They Knicks fans, they always been Knicks fans, their kids are Knicks fans. It not just people in Manhattan that are fans. Speaking as someone who lived in NYC for almost a decade, and was not originally from the area, you see Knicks gear no matter where you go. People are wearing Knicks jerseys in all 5 boroughs, in Westchester County, in Rockland County, in Dutchess County, in Nassau and in Suffolk.

The Six Speed TransmissionThe transmission on my Fit is very smooth, and easy to manage, even in city stop and go traffic. (The transmission, with its limited slip differential, is also very easy to drive on hills in stop go traffic, because it does not roll backwards, as manual transmission vehicles without the limited slip will do.)

Wow, was the car undriveable when you got the drivetrain error? Just took possession of the i3 today, first thing I noticed was gas tank cover stuck, though openable with green latch, needless to say noone at the Carvana knew how that worked. So far I have driven it to drain the battery enough to kick the Rex in emission mode. It sounded a bit louder than another Rex engine on a i3 I had test drove before. Other than that it drives smooth, handling the nation capitol fresh pot holes and uneven roads pretty well. HK sounds is a bit tiny but bass is deep and accurate, my kids fit in the back.

A worse case scenario is a head gasket leak or cracked cylinder head. To check those properly is to do a combustion leak check. That is done with another tester. It is basically is a litmus test. A chemical is placed in the checker, inserted at the radiator opening, and if it changes to a color while the engine is running. That is a result of combustion gasses present in the cooling system. Then there usually is a bad head gasket or possibly a cracked cylinder head.

Each generation of car buyers wants to see something new. What defines this era? “It’s complicated,” he says. “This is an information society and people want what technology can deliver, but these are also restless times. We are always trying to capture that zeitgeist and reflect it in design.”Both technology and high design are prominent in this new car. The marque’s pedigree means a certainty of both power and performance, and that is plainly on show in the design aesthetic. This car is built to run well enough for even the most restless, but in complete comfort. The digital cockpit is sculpted around the driver, with the centre console stretching up and over the dashboard. Behind the wheel, everything you need to function is within reach. At the same time, the interior seems cleaner and more modern; it’s a more integrated design approach.

What About the Oxygen Sensors?It’s possible but highly unlikely that P0171 and P0174 codes are the result of faulty O2 sensors. If O2 sensors are causing both P0171 and P0174 banks to report a lean mixture, that would mean that both O2 sensors are misreading the amount of oxygen in the exhaust. Not a likely scenario. Also, the computer will run validation tests on the readings of the O2 sensors before looking at fuel trim adjustments. Only then would a too lean mixture be returned and logged as a fault P0171.

Yeah the concerns I have lie in the basics. For example, there’s discussion on TMC about things like the steering wheel not being straight at “neutral” on many 3s. To most people this is a small detail. Many may never notice. But to me, as someone who cares a lot about driving and precision, that would be an issue. So if SCs say it’s not a big deal, and owners say it’s not a big deal, all because the product isn’t aimed at enthusiasts, then that’s a potentially greater issue. It means, among other things, that the car isn’t for me.

In England, BMW is building the Mini, the Rolls Royce as well as body parts and engines for BMW cars. Conversely, many Mini and Rolls Royce components are supplied from the EU. For Mini, the United Kingdom is by far the largest market. Last year, the BMW Group sold almost every tenth car on the island 238,000 vehicles.

With its four plants in Great Britain, BMW has now prepared itself for London departure from the EU on 29 March and has therefore brought annual maintenance forward from July to April. “This gives us scope for an orderly transition,” Wendt said. By stopping production in the weeks following the Brexit, BMW wants to reduce the risk of interruptions in the supply chain and restart as smoothly as possible afterwards.

Most Ford vehicles come with a complimentary three year subscription to the Sync services which you will have to renew every year. You won’t be charged the subscription fee before your complimentary subscription has expired. However, you must renew your services account each year so that Ford may know if you will continue to use the service and that your information is current in their database.

10. Wagon (Station Wagon)Wagons are a variant of sedan style cars and are quite similar to hatchbacks. The main difference is that they have an extra gate available on the rear side. This gate can either be a liftgate or a tailgate. The roof is extended a little towards the back, and it’s shared by passengers, cargo or both. Wagons are mainly 2 box cars, with 3 or 4 pillars.

June 02 2017EmailTwitterPinterestFacebookDedicated BMW owners always knew. They have long and very happy memories when it comes to the big 8 Series coups of the 1990s, and there was always talk that Bayerische Motoren Werke would revive the Series 8 legacy, reinvent it. Now there is a powerful, beautiful new Concept 8 Series sports coupfrom one of the world’s great car makers.

The guy I got this from was a Dr. in NYC who didn’t need it anymore. Original term 12k/36m. I finish out 24 months on the contract, get the loyalty from BMW and hopefully find another deal. My last car was a 2016 m235i fully speced and I got that for zero down, 450/month and got 3k in security deposits back. Only downside was I had it for only 1 year. Some ppl really just eat the loss. anecdotal but there are unicorn deals to be found.

Coherent Write in complete sentences that are clear about what you are trying to say.”Dikke BMW” would best translate to ass BMW a car of stature. In this case she mocking the idea that this uppity politician comes to their small town having no idea what it like to be a working class citizen.

Really not sure why you’ve been downvoted. I can’t stand Ticktum, and I’m more than happy to see him gone, but it’s yet another example of Red Bull pulling the trigger too soon. Drivers (all sportsmen) have dips in form, they should be given a chance to work through it. Clearly there was enough they saw in Ticktum to give him a shot despite all the baggage, so (as much as I’m glad they haven’t) they really should have given him a chance to reach that potential again. As with half a dozen drivers in the last couple of years.

Low grade plastics on the dash and doors, cheap vinyl seats that don breath, hollow and chintzy window switches and steering wheel stalks, etc. All the ones I driven and ridden in have also rattled. The Model 3 would be fine for $25k car, but there is nothing remotely luxurious about it.

I know i have not accounted for maintenance, which is definitely the curve ball in this scenario. I have a family friend who has owned a BMW shop since 1980 and is going to examine any car i might get, and will do all the work. So im not too worried about getting bent over in the repair shop.

So, given that, I think ours is an excellent seat and great for ERF. It’s easy to install in every vehicle I’ve e ER tried. The no re thread harness is worth every penny. I love how padded and plush the cover is. I like that it has the good LATCH connectors and not the flimsy seeming ones like on many other seats. No, it isn’t the ideal ERF seat for some kids, but it’s a great seat for many others.

So from the first summons in July 2007 through to the AC33 this February, the Cup found itself dragged repeatedly in and out of oak panelled court rooms in an eye wateringly expensive legal battle between the two sides. In the process of this struggle, even the most ardent Cup enthusiasts lost interest in what appeared to be more about a bitter squabble between two billionaires than it was about the racing that had made the event so famous. The protagonists both claimed that they were either exercising their rights or fighting to protect the heritage of the 159 year old trophy.

Don forget your 140k is before taxes, you will also have bills like housing, food, etc.Buying a new car is more than just sticker price. You will have insurance, maintenance, sales tax, property tax (if your state does that), and BMWs are not the most reliable cars out there.Buy a used car with a reliable history, assuming you actually need one to get to and from work, and you be just fine.

The complete kit comes in at $44,000, and you get pretty much everything for that. The best bit about this kit is the chassis: It’s a semi aluminum monocoque! Stiffer, lighter, and easier to build. What more could you want? Expect to build one up for about $55,000 and up, depending on your specs.

What I saw from my numbers was that the Tesla does cost less to operate. But when I consider the additional up front costs and added insurance, it not quite competitive with Civics (or Accords) yet. Especially compared to the hybrids and/or if one doesn drive a lot. Of course, with different energy prices, different driving rates, etc, things change.

Squeaky BrakesI learned after I had the car for six months, that squeaky brakes are considered normal for the TT. I had brought the car in for some normal maintenance and asked them to check my brakes. I noticed that almost every time I braked, especially in colder weather, I heard a loud squeak.

Despite having installed an L2 charger. I never actually needed that charging speed. Most of my driving happens close to my house (about 35 miles per day, if I average it out), and the car is pretty much always topped up when I jump into it in the morning.So. should you get an L2 charger? I still say yes, because fast charging is nice.

On the used market electric cars are a steal for the same reason to. A new gen leaf will be a top contender for me if the prices fall dramatically when lease turn ins flood the market. You get cheap commuting/errand driving within your electric range. You get the same go anywhere fuel anywhere road trip capability. Cost splits the difference between EV and ICE, but you still get a fairly large tax credit. Also, you can make 5 PHEVs with the batteries it would take to make 1 BEV, which is noteworthy in the face of no reprieve in sight to the limited supply of raw materials, as well as limited supply of manufacturing capacity (this is mostly a human issue not enough trained professionals. not readily solved by just “build more factories.”).

That is one of the reasons we decided to start showing him how to drive now. teach him slowly all the while pointing out what to do and what not to do. i watch how he is with other peoples things and i am forever telling him that how he is with them does come out in his driving technique.

Absolutely, we are in a totally difference place now or we wouldn’t even be considering the BMW DH (dear husband) had a large increase in income and we’re over half way to debt free. We could buy a BMW cash with the sale of the cars and money we have saved, but would rather not plunge for a more expensive vehicle until we’ve bought a home.

How Often To Change Your Air FilterThis depends on your driving conditions but it’s usually recommended to change the filter every 30,000 miles. If you drive off road or in dusty conditions you may want to check your filter more often. I replaced mine 8 months ago (about 10,000 miles) and I’m pretty surprised at how dirty it is already. Given how relatively cheap it is to replace I probably will be changing mine every 20,000 miles or so.

He recently got an F80/82 BMW M3 or M4 and he still happy with his purchase.Is it the smartest financial decision? Well no there no way you can justify it no matter how you cut it. BUT with that said can you say that it gives you $75,000 worth of enjoyment? For some people maybe, others not so much.tl;dr Yes you can buy it but should you.

People here are different. In MN there are so many of us struggling, it’s depressing. Hell, I moved in with my aunt and uncle thinking they had it good; a nice house in the best city in the state, she is an accountant, he stays home. I really thought they had the good life. After I moved in, I discovered they’ve had to spend tens of thousands to repair the house; the entire east wall was rotten and so is a large chunk of the roof, the floorboards upstairs and carpeting in the basement were shot to hell, and whoever installed the electrical wires in the house screwed up big time. He doesn’t work because he’s on disability, having lost most of his cognitive thinking and reasoning, and she works as many hours as she can to make up the difference. Turns out I’m helping them way more than I ever thought I could. I help him fix the house during the day, I bought groceries for everyone today, and just by being here, my son has helped cheer both of them up so much. Everyone’s truly struggling.

Dealership 2 I decided I would buy a Mini, despite my negative experience, but it took months for me to get to that point. I made an appointment with this dealership to test drive a vehicle. When I arrived, I was advised there were no automatics to test drive, as they were all still “wrapped up.” They had a lot full of cars, but none of them were automatics. The salesman had the gall to state I could still make a down payment on a car, even though I hadn’t test driven the one I wanted yet. I walked out as I was very upset.

I lusted for BMWs for years. 카지노사이트 I was this kid, albeit with BMWs (and also Porsches, but also mainly BMWs). And I still remember exactly where I was the moment I first knew I wanted one: July Long Beach Island, NJ, playing mini golf just off Long Beach Boulevard, when a Estoril Blue E36 M3 tore past. I was hooked. Or rather, “truly afflicted.”

Sorry for the rant, I understand assembly manuals aren the easiest things to come up with from scratch. I didn order this with no expectation of some finicky stuff, tinkering, tuning, and so on that comes part and parcel with a machine you expected to assemble yourself. I sure that I be pleased once I actually get the machine running smoothly. But right now I definitely frustrated with some issues I didn expect given the price point.

So we have NOS, Engine and Body as the top three, Tires and Trans are almost useless, and a time gap of 0.203s between NOS and Trans. Overall, not very impressive numbers from these S6 parts but this is expected as a fully max’d LB M3 GTS has a max evo tune that is just over.6s quicker than S5 with full fusions.

My P100D had 2″ curb rash on one wheel, scuffs on the aluminum sill plate from shoes, scratches in the trunk plastic, tiny pinhead size ding on the trunk lid. I would put that kind of wear on it myself in a few miles so I didn bother to bring it up. $68,000 discount from original price, about $28 48k discount from current price since they lowered the prices in March and give L for free to current owners.

It probably will. The base is there for your convenience. If you use a seatbelt, you’ll just have to fasten/unfasten everytime you take baby out. You might decide that’s not a deal breaker. The carseat that wouldn’t fit in our car just couldn’t be made tight enough and couldn’t sit upright. If you made a sudden stop, the carseat would easily tilt backwards and baby would faceplant into the back of the seat. We tried everything, and I mean everything towels, pool noodles, etc. Everyone was sure I was installing it wrong, but sure enough, not even the experts could do it. Now it works great as a forward facing seat in my mom’s car.

Not “too raw” at all, I did several 3000 Mile road trips with it and I never had an issue with not being comfortable. I daily drove it for 3 years with no issue. The only issue I ever had was the “angry screaming racecar” which attracted too much attention and it wasn suitable for the snow in CO. Also, people in the US suck. 2 years in Germany with it, no issues. First week back in the US someone door dinged me even though I parked in BFE. I miss it but I don will admit, if I kept the M2 it would be less stressful than having a US spec 3 in Germany for road trips and likely more fun on the ring again but take the good with the bad. I still take the 3 over it again any day. Side note, currently being ICE by an Audi.

Focus STs are WAAAAY more fun than a 328i, and they sold brand new for less than 24k. Find a lightly used one for 15k and get way more practicality from it due to it being a hatch. Will also come with significantly lower insurance payments and exponentially less in maintenance costs. You can go less practical with a Mazda MX 5, those are fun as hell. I could go on, but I have a feeling that recommending other cars isn going to convince you.

This problem started for me on Monday, but was resolved yesterday. When I started my car after work and tried again to add a new CarPlay device, the option was unavailable. I rebooted ConnectedDrive by holding down the volume button for 40 seconds, and after rebooting, CarPlay was available when connecting a new device. FWIW I had been doing this every day since the system failed on my way to and from work, and CarPlay didn actually become available for me until yesterday afternoon.

A lot of these will be made so securing an allocation will be easier than previous GT cars. Porsche even produced a ton of the 991.2 GT3 and people were getting brand new dealer ordered cars at MSRP near the end of the run because there were not enough people willing to pay markup.

Maybe that where we went wrong. We haven looked at those, just the german ones. That makes sense though, we both drive Japanese cars now and we LOVE them. SO reliable, SO cheap to service, and the luxury features are on par with the 2013 BMW she had (but probably not what they offer now).We also started to rethink how we spend our money too, now that we a little older.

In the rare occurrence that a challenger is found to be invalid (in this instance, the Spanish Club Nautico Espaol de Vela for not meeting the designated defender requirements), the Deed of Gift that outlines the rules of the competition for the Cup dictates that the next valid challenger (in this case the GGYC) is the one to be accepted. No further yacht clubs can issue challenges and a challenger series does not take place. The Deed of Gift makes provision for such disputes by appointing the New York Supreme Courts as arbiters.

Having said all this, the best feature of connected drive is that sometimes its able to pull locations from google and take you there; so you don need to have every business listed in the car directory. Oh and street view. It will show you street view of the destination before you get there ;)This. Even the same car you can get 30 50K off for 6 12 months used.

I mainly like open wheelers, that what I really want to drive. With the risk of sounding like someone coming straight from Need to Speed, driving the Z4 almost feels like driving on ice. Not really, but I really don get the car. Even just a hint of trail braking and the rear comes around.

But before getting behind the wheel, I was advised to partake of another service one that enables absolute beginners to experience the circuit from the back of a taxi. It might sound a bit tame, but the Nordschleife “Ring Taxis” are 560hp, 190mph BMW M5 saloons with extra throaty exhaust pipes.

The first time I tried to go fast, I got to right at 50.01, and I know there a lot I can improve. I won almost half a second in the first turn (but then messed it up in the second and third, I can seem to get those right).70 hours isn really that much, I personally have clocked in over 500 hours in AC and I still suck mostly.

We ran out of time yesterday, so I going to take another crack at squaring the machine tonight. Regardless I probably compile a list of the issues we encountered and pass them along so they can be rectified (if not for me, for future customers). I probably include a few suggestions for the manuals as well which may help improve the assembly experience for future users. I absolutely don want to seem like I acting like I know your machine better than you do, but a few things seemed like they could be clearer. Maybe that just from an outside looking in perspective. For example, the final step in the linked assembly manual says to tighten the baseboard screws to the baseframe, but during initial assembly there is nothing suggesting to leave them loose in the first place. I should have known better from when I built my printer and it wasn a huge deal to loosen the screws for squaring, but it would have saved us some time from having to re do the squaring procedure after discovering in the very last step that we should have had the screws loose. I sure I also supposed to read the instructions through start to finish before beginning assembly but let be honest, most people don do that and might, at best, skim through looking to see if they need any specific tools not included.

Here is the interesting part I have paid $21000 for a car and another $18000 for repairs, insurance, maintenance, registration etc. I am quite blown away by this number. Is this normal for a car? Or can I chalk this up to the joys of owning a German car?

The daily sticky thread allows for more casual conversation and is the place for individual updates and individual experiences whether they are routine or just not worth a separate submission. Individual shopping and support experiences belong in the sticky. Frequently asked questions and low effort text posts on repetitive topics are additionally directed to the sticky thread.

How the Pacer was ConceivedConceived from the inside out the Pacer was designed to be small but roomy, as the company blurb said, “Because Pacer is the first wide small car, it’s also the first small wide car.” In other words the car would offer the handling and manoeuvrability of a small car while giving the benefit of the interior space normally only found in a large sedan. And it that respect it succeeded.

With the Defender, you should be able to fit your CA 65 and Snugride with little trouble. Use seatbelts on all the seats to give the maximum about of room on the vehicle bench. IF they don’t fit together, then you’ll need a Radian to replace the CA. But of course try those 3 seats together with seatbelt installs before you go the Radian route.

NEVER. Is that worth something to you? Certainly is to me, and to my wife too who hates gas stations. So now, we already not comparing apples to apples since in the ICE you HAVE to always stop at a gas station, unless you produce your own gas at home (har, har).

Since trying an electric car in 2013 (a Smart ED of all things) I have never looked back. I am on my 6th electric car now, a Tesla Model S P100D. All the gas cars feel like a different century to me. Nostalgic antiques like steam trains, fax machines, and AOL. Huffing and puffing with all the heat and noise. A Rube Goldberg machine that wastes a lot of resources. It’s not just Tesla. I felt the same way about the Smart ED and our BMW i3. Tesla has just taken it the furthest without the legacy of 100 years of history and existing encumbrances. A true disruptor.

If you’re a motoring hooligan hell bent on grabbing the ring by the scruff of its neck and showing it who’s boss, this course is probably not for you. But if you are smart enough to know that this is a circuit that demands the utmost respect and learning, then Fascination Nordschleife should prove highly rewarding.

By my math, with the downpayment in 7 years, this would have lost you about $60k even at 5% interest on the money if you invested it. Is the BMW worth the $60k setback? My personal answer is no. I’d personally get a 15 20k certified used car you’d have a lot of options then.

Should you have further questions or need additional information, you may reply directly to this e mail. Not to the optimal levels like you would doing a precondition but there is some residual warming. So my point was, if you are plugged in, and start conditioning for say 30 min, when you unplug the battery will be in a better state and range than if you simply took off cold. That has been my experience anyway, simple climatizing while plugged in helps your range vs cold startsWe had pretty bad wintery weather here for a week or two, so I parked my i3 and left it plugged in for that time I drove my other vehicle which is more suited to deep snow. I had also turned off all my scheduled departure times so as to not waste power warming the car up when I wasn’t going to drive it.

The MP4 12C is a shade quicker and lighter than the 458 (Thanks to a 3.8 Litre Twin Turbo V8 instead of the 458’s 4.5 L V8) and also boasts daily driving practicality but being mated to softer suspensions. The McLaren also has stylish butterfly doors and is available in striking colour combinations (most notably the signature McLaren Orange Metallic) and the cockpit layout is more accessible and refined than the Ferrari’s.

I have navigation info projected on the windshield when using the default Gps but not when using CarPlay.You must also understand that from the main os’s POV CarPlay is just a single other screen.Siri integration is okay for basic commands. Maps is okay with updated traffic information.Problem is you can’t use Siri in multiple languages which limit some more advanced features like dictating text in your native language if you want siri in English.

I make that trip a few times a year for racing. it doesn make financial sense to take an additional two days off for travel, just do it in one long haul. Most of the guys I race with are doing the same thing. Of course, that only 20 ish people so it sure is an edge case but there are also plenty of people in the US doing similar travel.

But while overindulging in Chteau Ptrus may have its dangers, that’s where the comparison ends. Accurate statistics are impossible to obtain, but estimates suggest that between three and 12 deaths per year occur during public days, and it is almost inevitable that you will see at least one accident per lap.

It then took us several days to get a slot at our dealer to get the problem addressed, where the dealer found that there was a gasket in the hood area that had become displaced. (Since being repaired, we have no more leakage issues.)(We did, however, have fogging issues all winter long, as moisture coming from the saturated carpet was a problem!!) (now that we’re into the warmer spring weather, the fogging issue seems to have resolved itself.))

According to Ben Walker, Bonhams director of collectors’ motorcycles, a trend for customising classic BMWs by removing their touring accessories and altering their appearance to create a retro “caf racer” look is influencing current values. “This is because some people want to buy bikes to customise and others want to buy original examples to preserve. I think the appeal of the customised bikes will fall once the fad has ended, making the remaining originals even more sought after.”Walker has noticed a particular surge ofinterest in unaltered examples of the R80G/S (1980 87) and R80GS (1987 95), machines designed for on and off road use that have achieved cult status among long distance adventure riders. Although prices hovered around 5,000 for years, Bonhams sold a less than perfect 1987 G/S Paris Dakar edition in April for 14,375.

The new officer is trained to take command and expects immediate obedience from a citizen, and a citizen has no rights at all during the situation. That’s what we saw in the Boston neighborhood as cops were searching for the Marathon bomber. People were ordered out of their homes by yelling and shoving officers, with no regard at all for their rights as American citizens. That would not have happened a few decades ago. I don’t think it should be happening today.

He watched the cameras as the Graze entered the hangar and settled into one of the racks intended for Garm Rodis. It didn’t look like any Graze he’d seen before. It must be some new prototype they were working on. He shut the blast doors again and called for the hangar crew to bring a medical team to the docking bay. Then he took another sip of his coffee and turned the sports broadcast back on.

Mine was previously owned by a 85 year old man and was in superb condition. You won know what your expenses are until you lived in OKC a couple months but you could start saving by putting 25 50% of your paycheck away each time.Once you figured out the emergency fund, keep saving that 25 50% of every paycheck until you have enough cash to purchase the car.Whether you end up paying cash (the cheapest way to buy the car) or not, you shouldn spend more than $40k on it period.

In the short time we’ve been together, however, I’ve had numerous complications with my little car and am now terribly disenchanted with what I always thought was stellar “German engineering.” In my own defense, I am NOT rough on my cars, I take care of my stuff, and I have a 12 year old custom Harley that’s in pristine condition.

At this point I became very frustrated. We have a BMW and so I took it to the nearest service for help and they were baffled. In the end they told me to go to a fire station. So I went to our local station, the man there really tried hard to get it in and again it just wasn’t working.

Everybody Loves Ya BabyThe car was an instant hit with the public selling 145,000 units in its first year. They loved the looks, the visibility, the space, the sense of the future and the quirkiness exemplified by the uneven door lengths. The passenger door was 4 inches longer than the driver’s door to allow for easy entrance and exit; perfect for the urban Mom dropping the 바카라사이트 kids off. The doors were also hinged to move out slightly from the top as they opened, to make sure junior didn’t hit his head. The people also loved the small turning circle which was due to the rack and pinion steering that utilised the extra width of the car to great effect. It was design features such as these that made for the initial success.

Just like having the engine running on a ICE car. So if the 12 battery is too dead to fire up the controllers the HV battery can be energized and therefore can be charged either. So the battery is likely not dead enough to have the car be completely dead (no door locks no nothing) but too dead to pull in the line contactor for the HV battery.

It was a mess I accidentally punted one off because he stopped (relatively) on the apex of a fast corner after he went up the inside.It shouldn be that way. If you slower than a GT3 in a GTE, you should be in a GT3. Driven properly, a GTE car is much faster than a GT3 car, and more challenging to drive.Thank you for the detailed response! So I guess I a little confused about IMSA.

Water Pump and Thermostat Housing Leak: The water pump leaking on the first two generations of Minis was a fairly common occurrence. They often had to be replaced at over 50,000 miles. The thermostat housing in the second generation models were made of plastic. This would naturally break down over time.

Then get an EVSE. They not expensive. A good one with WiFi for remote monitoring is $500. The electrician work should be another $500 or less. (I paid $200 for a used EVSE that doesn have WiFi, and because I was installing my EVSE immediately outside and below my breaker box, the electrician fee to install the outlet was only $250.) Yes, you can use the included 120V cable, but it isn meant for every day use.

I would test the car seats out in the BMW before buying. Install the forward facing radian in the third row and see how it fits. Also climb back there yourself and your husband and see if you fit and would want to sit back there, or if it will be a useful third row for anyone.

They are released now because politics are slow. The law will always be behind the tech in general. As self driving or even driver assistance like AP or AEB systems advance, the politics realize that they should make some regulations to protect the costumer and make sure that the systems can be trusted (from the politician point of view). I don agree with everything they decide but all the regulations will hit every OEM in the coming years.

BMW is one of the most successful marques in racing, from providing, probably, the most successful engine ever for Formula One (the straight four M10), through to decades of dominance on the road in touring and rally cars. “It is a company close to my heart,” says Adrian van Hooydonk, senior vice president of BMW Group Design. “Driving is close to my heart, too; expressing movement in metal it’s what I love.”

From 1990 1993, Acura sold the second generation Integra, perhaps the most popular among enthusiasts. You’ll want to find one with the 1.8 L engine producing 130 hp or the top level GS R Integra which was first introduced in 1992. Featuring Honda’s VTEC (Variable valve Timing and lift Electronic Control), the GS R’s engine produced160 hp and proved to be a favorite for tuners and enthusiast drivers alike.

This particular motorcycle is interesting because of its history. It started production in the 1930s and continued in one form or another to be built in Germany until the 1960s. As part of reparations after World War 2, the drawings and some tooling were distributed among the allies. into what became the Harley Davidson Hummer. BSA turned it into the Bantam. the Soviet Union also produced a version. DKW also developed the Schnurle two stroke loop scavenging process which made the deflection piston unnecessary and also developed a very good design for the transfer ports.

After hours on the World Wide Web, the cheapest option I could find was a universal 02 sensor for 67.99 at AutoZone. I also came across some posts for VW’s, BMW’s, and Mercs all stating that they were using cheap Ford oxygen sensors, and replacing the harness plug, like you would have to do with the universal 02 sensor anyway. I could not find any documentation on someone using this sensor on an MKIV, but others stated it works great on their MKIII, so for the greater good of mankind I gave it a go.

One of my friends got a 6 figure job out of school (although the cost of living in his area is extremely high so is probably the equivalent of making 80K elsewhere).His first “fun toy” purchase was a Yamaha R6 and that wasn until a year later when he was more established in his job, settled down after his move, got all the basics (furniture, dining room sets, bed, etc.) etc.

I genuinely enjoy driving it more than my V8 powered beast. I never thought I say that, but there it is.The i3 is a blast to drive. RWD, 170 horses, all the torque available any time you push it. It turns heads, you can park it on a postage stamp, you can turn a circle inside a tiny two lane road without doing a 3 point.

That said, my wife forgot to charge my i3 one night and I was almost stranded. luckily I limped into a BMW dealership that had one and 10 minutes later I had enough to get home. not particularly a big deal, if it had been AC I would have left 30 minutes later.

What Is a Mini?So what is a Mini? It’s basically a small economy car that is known for its speed, extreme drifting, and unique look. There have been various types of Mini cars over the last several decades, but their popularity has surged because of their availability almost all over the world, their unique look, and their race car like quality.

I think your bigger issue is going to be liability insurance. Obviously I don know for sure what that will cost, but motorsports are very dangerous and death or debilitating injury are both possible and occur with some frequency. It not insurmountable, but could be expensive for the school to hold insurance like that (as in they may want, like, $5M liability insurance in the event a student is killed during a race).

I drove a 991.2 911 before I bought the Evora. It was a very capable car that was completely soulless and uninspiring. Never been more disappointed after driving a car because of how high my expectations were for it. I am pretty positive that I don want any modern Porsche that is not a GT car (which I have ridden in on track and they are amazing). The Evora, on the other hand, feels special every time I get in it. It looks exotic, Lotus even managed to make it sound exotic, and you feel completely connected to the road when you drive it. The steering feedback and directness is unmatched, the shifter assembly is so percise and tactile, the ride is compliant with very little body roll, and that Toyota V6 sounds like it came from Italy. It not a numbers car for magazines. It simply an exceptional driver car. It still makes me smile everything I drive it.

This will help you getting a better feel for the car balance, know where the limit of the grip is and you might even find a better/faster line down the track.Secondly, the most of the z4 weight is in the back, so that why it so happy to throw that beautiful fat ass around like it some Shaquina from the hood.

To make that happen, to create a timeless machine for fast moving times, BMW has simplified its design language, with economy of line and sculpture. That means, when you look at this new Concept 8 Series, that you see sharpness and precision, and a startling sleekness through the way the design team has achieved light and shadow on the car’s exterior. If you look closely enough, you can even see the future.

I would have hoped would obvious by now why I am focusing on this. Because this is the dt and this is a topic that I find somewhat interesting and thought would make a descent discussion here. As I’ve said, IRL, I have noticed a correlation between some people who buy status symbols and there level of pretention.

Modern engines have knock sensors and run right at the edge of detonation all the time by design to extract maximum energy out of every drop of fuel. Running premium isn really giving you more margin for error in terms of pinging on a modern engine, the engine just bumps the timing up as much as the gas will tolerate anyway.

We ran out of time yesterday, so I going to take another crack at squaring the machine tonight. Regardless I probably compile a list of the issues we encountered and pass them along so they can be rectified (if not for me, for future customers). I probably include a few suggestions for the manuals as well which may help improve the assembly experience for future users.

However, the person who first developed a rotor was Abraham Louis Perrelet (1729 1826), one of Switzerland’s greatest watchmakers of all time, considered the father of the automatic watch. He introduced the concept in 1770 and was way ahead of his time since the invention was better suited to wristwatches and Perrelet lived in the pocket watch era. Obviously, the watches couldn’t move in pockets enough to wind the mainspring, so the rotor system didn’t perform well. Another Swiss watchmaker, Abraham Louis Breguet (1747 1823) improved self winding watches and named them “perpetuelles” (the likely source of Rolex’s term). Other watchmaking greats of the 19th century advanced the concept. But it wasn’t until World War I that Rolex perfected its system and automatic watches became popular.

I drive a 325. we have 2 Britax Marathons installed so neither is in the center, DS (dear son) 1 who is 3 sits behind the driver (DH is 6 3 so that seat needs to be able to go all the way back) DS (dear son) 2 who is 11 mo sits behind the passenger RF. But we leave that seat pushed almost all the way up. I drive the car most of the time, and not many passengers, if we do all go out in it DH (dear husband) drives, but I am short 5 4 so can handle the passenger seat being pushed up. Before we had DS2 in the graco snugride on the passenger side. But now with the july baby coming it looks like I am trurning in my car. very sad.

I speed off traffic lights all the time and redline in 1st when I have to make a lane change. The trick is to get the revs to 3k 4k rpm and let the clutch out swiftly and not dump it. Maintain, but don add gas until slipping has ended and clutch is fully out. To continue accelerating as hard as your car is capable of, redline each gear and be quick with the changes.

IntroductionBuying your first car can be an exhilarating experience, but it can also be a bit frustrating. Young driving enthusiasts often have a great deal of difficulty finding cars that are both affordable and fun to drive. On top of your budget and the car’s cool factor, its practicality and reliability have to be considered. For example, you can buy a Porsche 944 for less than ten grand, but insuring and keeping the car running will more often than not push the cost of ownership out of range for the average student.

Which was precisely what happened after a successful defence by the Swiss team Alinghi in 2007, when a challenge from a Spanish club was accepted and a protocol for the next America’s Cup, the 33rd, was hastily drawn up. When the details were released it was clear that the Spanish club had accepted rules 카지노사이트 that grossly favoured Alinghi.

I really didn think it felt like a RWD since I didn feel any sign of losing the rear end under power, only under braking (and thought I read something about “taking advantage of the FWD”, but that must have been the last car I drove, lol). I think I need to downshift later as well, too aggressive downshifting wont help with the rear in a RWD.Ok, straight line braking it is! Turbo lag is a problem I think, I don have a clutch pedal (yet).

(Plus, it really nice to get in a car that already the right temperature, than to get in a freezing car during the winter, or a sweltering car in the summer.)Note: I bought a 2015, certified preowned, every single option about 8 months ago, and it the best car purchase I ever made.

What possible really depends on your personal situation. Even so. I wouldn personally buy a 2015 2016 BEV if I frequently did drives longer than 30 miles one way.The i3 BEV is a perfect commuter. If you anything like me, you end up driving it every damn chance you can (even beyond the commuting).

6. LimousineLimousines, or ‘limos’, are very luxurious sedans with long, enclosed bodies. Previously, this term was used for cars with an enclosed passenger area and an open topped driver’s seat, where the front of the roof elongated to provide shade for the driver. But things have changed a lot since then; now limos are fully covered from the outside, and they have highly luxurious compartments inside. Still, the compartment for the driver remains separate.

Customization. When I was first shopping around for a Mini, I went to their website to play with the various options I could have on the car. A cool thing about this car is that you can customize it almost anyway you want. Not only does the Mini stand out among other cars, you can make your own Mini stand out among identical models.

For a few years I went on a cruise with a group of highly loyal BMW guys. They are so loyal to the point where they didn invite me this year due to the fact I bought a model 3. Wouldn even give driving it a chance. Guy from Norway that makes the drive each year: “EV are so bland and boring, they aren drivers cars. They are so highly incentivised in Norway, no taxes, no vat, no toll fees and free parking. We are a dying breed, we better keep going until white men with collars lock us up.”

The 110v LVL1 charger is really only intended for occasional use (referred to as the OUC often.) If you have the means it highly recommended you get a LVL2 charger. It will allow you to precondition the battery as well as the cabin. Which is very helpful with range especially in extreme weather.

The second generation MR 2 (1989 1999) had very different styling and has been called a “poor man’s Ferrari” due to some aesthetic similarities between the Toyota and Ferrari’s 355/348. The US received two engine options: a 130 hp 2.0 L naturally aspirated I4 and a 200 hp turbocharged 2.0 L I4. For 1992 3, Toyota changed the suspension geometry to reduce “snap oversteer” which made the car safer to drive quickly and on the limit. If you’ve got experience driving sports cars and are looking for a car with a real edge to it, try to find one from the few years before this change. If you just want to be able to corner quickly and not make a fool of yourself, definitely look for a later version with the more forgiving handling. This is, for most, the best of the MR 2 generations to buy because it is newer, more powerful, and better looking than the first generation, but less expensive than third generation models. You’ll probably be looking at 5 12k for pricing, although there is always room for variation with individual cars. The turbos are going to be harder to find unmolested and will be more expensive, but if you can find the right car, it’s going to be much faster and more fun to drive than the still spectacular NA version.

That is how I feel when it comes to historical figures. People want to rationalize that someone like Lincoln could do something good yet still not be a good person just so they can keep him high up on the pedestal. It never occurred to people that the pedestal shouldn’t be there and that we should look at people for the good and bad they’ve done and let individuals come to their own conclusion about their character.7 years ago

My P100D had 2″ curb rash on one wheel, scuffs on the aluminum sill plate from shoes, scratches in the trunk plastic, tiny pinhead size ding on the trunk lid. I would put that kind of wear on it myself in a few miles so I didn bother to bring it up. $68,000 discount from original price, about $28 48k discount from current price since they lowered the prices in March and give L for free to current owners.

What’s wrong with my car?My Honda CR V begins to overheat when I break (waiting in the drive thru line, traffic, traffic light, etc.) and has been doing it for the past couple of months. Only when I drive will it blast cold air. I’m not sure what I need to check or what I need to replace.

I didn realize there was GT3 cars and GTE cars, that makes sense though, I was wondering what the Merc and Audi were doing in there. So in your option I should do a season in the GT3 cars, and then move up to GTE after that? Even if I have some experience with GT3 already? I guess sticking with GT3 would let me feel out how the series itself actually works, that way I won be wrestling with learning a new faster car AND learning the series as well.

Zao is not a good choice for ranked this season because you most impactful when maximizing your concealment and either lurking 4 5 km behind your DDs or flanking and catching cruisers off guard with AP volleys and farming BBs that have their guns pointed elsewhere. The problem is you get hard countered by a CV because they can permaspot you once your location is known, and your AA is pretty bad (not that any solo cruiser can defend against repeated CV strikes). Henri is better because concealment is not a big deal, you can use IFHE to burn down BBs incredibly fast, reload booster is OP, and it much faster and tankier.

That planted the seed of my interest and I was fascinated by them, and just learned as much as I could. Before buying my current car I studied up so I wouldn’t get stuck with an expensive BMW lemon that breaks down! So yeah just researching online, talking to our mechanic oh and I collect old magazines from the 80s and 90s so they have heaps of info in them, just reading up I guess and through experience learned with my own car. Thanks for the question Ashley and best wishes for 2011.

The Coccoro is no longer a great option for multiples/preemies as it now has a 5lb./19″ minimum. (Yes, the website still says 3lbs., but other techs are reporting that new Coccoros are shipping with 5lbs. minimums on the seat and the manual.) Plus, the insert HAS to be used until kiddo weighs 25lbs, which means many kids are reaching the 1″ height limit long before 36″ or 2yo. :/ Combi has been non negotiable on that issue, saying that the seat needs to be turned FF if baby reaches the 1″ limit with the insert.

It’s easy and cheap to order new air filters online and I order mine from Amazon. They provide a nice fitment tool so that you can enter the year and model of your car to make sure you get the filter that fits your car. Note that there is a difference between the filter for 2004 2006 and 2007 2010 models.

But GM did say last month it expects to spend $1 billion more for commodities like steel and aluminum next year. The price of those goods rose since the Trump administration imposed tariffs on those products in an effort to help US mills. Even US steel and aluminum producers have raised prices because they no longer face as much competition from overseas product.

Her later work is more introspective and she has dedicated herself to the Kabbalah more deeply, and taken on the Persian name Esther, or Star. What better name choice for a Leo woman? Madonna has been a leading figure in encouraging women to celebrate their bodies, to refuse to let themselves be oppressed, and to be in control of their own lives. Madonna is considered one of the most influential women in history. His family came from what is now known as Slovakia, but he was born in Pittsburgh, PA, the youngest of three brothers. He was a sickly child, who was bedridden with chorea, a nervous system disease, and this caused him to be something of a hypochondriac. He had a terrible fear of doctors and hospitals. But Andy loved to draw, and to read about celebrities. He was able to combine the two hobbies into a very lucrative career as he got older. Pop art is a visual art movement about celebrity culture 카지노사이트 and advertisement.

President Bill ClintonPresident William “Bill” Jefferson Clinton 8/19/46 was the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 2001. He adores being in the spotlight as much as any Leo. He was 46 on his first Inauguration Day, and many people consider him to be the “Baby Boomer” President, as he was the right age and seemed to share many of the concerns of this particular group.

Don forget your 140k is before taxes, you will also have bills like housing, food, etc.Buying a new car is more than just sticker price. You will have insurance, maintenance, sales tax, property tax (if your state does that), and BMWs are not the most reliable cars out there.Buy a used car with a reliable history, assuming you actually need one to get to and from work, and you be just fine.

Mini knows you want one. When people shop around for a car, they can bounce from dealership to dealership without really expressing they want a particular type of car. Unfortunately, when shopping for a Mini, most dealers will know that you want one of those in particular. If you express you drove a long way, loved them for years, etc., then they can turn that against you.

What I saw from my numbers was that the Tesla does cost less to operate. But when I consider the additional up front costs and added insurance, it not quite competitive with Civics (or Accords) yet. Especially compared to the hybrids and/or if one doesn drive a lot. Of course, with different energy prices, different driving rates, etc, things change.

His performances this season, which have included a brief lead in the final round of the Open Championship in July, have catapulted Woods up to 26th in the world rankings, a leap of more than 600 places since the end of last year as he recovered from spine fusion surgery.READ: Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau picked for Ryder CupWoods said much of Thursday’s success was down to him dusting off the 19 year old putter he used for 13 of his 14 major wins.”I’ve been monkeying around with it at home in the back yard through the summer,” the 42 year old told reporters. “It just never felt right, but it feels good now. I’ve hit hundreds of millions of putts with that thing.”I’ve had it since 1999. My body just remembers it. It just feels very familiar to me.”Northern Ireland’s McIlroy was on track to better his Ryder Cup rival’s round at one point even looking likely to shoot sub 60 with a career best six consecutive birdies but back to back bogeys on the back nine scuppered his chance.It was certainly a day for low scoring as American Xander Schauffele, in contention to be Furyk’s fourth and final wildcard pick Monday, shot a seven under par 63 to sit in third.Ryder Cup rivals Justin Thomas of America and Sweden’s Alex Noren were tied on six under alongside Billy Horschel and Peter Uihlein.In total, 48 of the 69 players in the field were under par after the opening round.”We all benefit from Tiger Woods playing well,” McIlroy said after the round. “I’m happy he’s up there. And it will be a great tournament if he stays up there.”

Clinton was born and raised in Arkansas, and didn’t even know for sure who his father was, bringing home the fact Baby Boomers grew up on that anyone could grow up to be President. Clinton was always a top student, graduating from Georgetown University and earning a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford University. He also attended Yale Law School, and has a law degree, but never practiced law. He did, however, meet Hillary Rodham at Yale, and they married a year later. Many of Hillary’s friends thought she was crazy to move from her Chicago home to live in Arkansas, but she did it anyway.

If you have another on a pedestal you are not seeing them, you are seeing only your ideal and only those aspects of them that you want to see. There are those among us who act like they belong on a pedestal. Thinking something and the actuality of something are two very different things. The person on the pedestal feels pressured to act in a certain way without fail. The person or the people who placed the other on the pedestal feel that they are failures. The minute you put another on a pedestal you are denying both yourself and the other the actual experiencing of each other. Instead you are relating through a lens of beliefs and precepts that may in fact be quite distanced from the truth.

This question depends on the type of car enthusiast. I am a car enthusiast who is not interested in hybrids, but I do admire the advances in science and technology that these cars have. In other words I appreciate these cars. It is a fact that in the next fifty to one hundred years many cars will be dependent on the technologies of these hybrid models.

In 1984, Toyota brought out the surprising MR 2, which was very different from the practical and uninteresting family sedans that made the manufacturer successful. The first generation (1984 1989) was extremely lightweight and featured, like all generations to follow, an MR (mid engine rear wheel drive) layout more commonly found on supercars such as the Ferrari F355 and Lamborghini Countach. The combination of lightweight chassis and perfect front rear weight distribution via the mid engine layout resulted in a car that handled like a champ and didn’t need a huge engine to provide sufficient performance. The 1.6 L inline 4 only produced 112 hp but could hit 60 mph in just over eight seconds.

The 458 is also the first Ferrari to completely get rid of all stalks behind the steering wheel of the car and replace daily driver functions like indicating, turning the headlights on and off and the wiper blades into buttons on the steering wheel of the car a first for almost any mainstream manufacturer.

I have an iPhone, so does 23726193938 other people. I have a designer bracelet I received for my 18th birthday, my purse is coach but I got it at an outlet mall 4 years ago (it’s still my every day purse) I’m on GA!! I’m broke I almost got my water shut off. I hate it that people don’t know your story and automatically judge

Well, he took my information and let me go. People in the area say that the cops often do a stealth swoop, and pull over the first person they see, to see if they can catch a drunk. Well, unknown to that jackass. I didn’t have a drop of alcohol, I don’t smoke, or do drugs. So he was out of luck.

Some people will say that you can just go to your fire station or police department. You can It best to look it up because it will tell you where you can get it checked, whether you can drop by/if they have a car seat check once a month or every couple of months/if you have to make an appointment. I live in a metro with 2.4 million people and we only have 21 places to get seats checked. Out of those 21 places, we have 2 you can stop by any day of the week at any time, 2 you can make an appointment for any time during their business hours, and the rest either have monthly/bimonthly/quarterly car seat check fairs. I had to set my appointment 24 days in advance because the children hospital was so booked out. I would suggest figuring out how to get yours checked soon.

“This statement is the problem. The idea that there is one definition of a car guy.” As you yourself said, not all enthusiasts are the same. I prefer to buy well built, well sorted packages that are OEM tier: Ohlins, Bilstein, etc. It why I bought an R35 GT R. And a 991 GT3. I know I know. It would be “easy” to build something faster if I were a “real” car guy right? Maybe with some Googling I could figure it out and show Porsche and Nissan engineers how it’s done? Perhaps. But suspension engineering isn my thing. And if I were to go aftermarket, I like to buy OEM grade parts with strong company backing. So far that doesn’t exist for Tesla.

You don have to live below your means or delay gratification, and certainly not all the time. I would not buy a new car.I would get something cheaper like a Honda, or Toyota. They are reliable, get good MPG.You also havent even started your job and wanting to buy a 40k car?.Also if you have student loans to pay there is that.

Meanwhile BMW has that plastic aluminum everywhere and the black plastic everything. I’d bet it’s the most plastic of the 4 brands. But don’t take my word for it. The CEO is on the verge of being fired for low profits and the answer has been lower overhead and cut motorsports.

Being English, we don’t have Thanks Giving, but I wish we did. We make up for it on Christmas though. I go to my moms for Christmas dinner every year and every year it’s the same annual goodness. We always have turkey, pork and some special sausage (can’t remember what it’s called) with apple sauce and cranberry sauce on the side. Roasted honey glazed parsnips, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, peas and sprouts. Boiled and roasted potatoes and home made gravy. A glass of sparkling wine to go with it too. It’s so good!What is a product you can’t live without?We all have favorite products that we swear by whether it be that wrinkle cream that actually delivers results or a favorite cleaner (mine is Windex) that powers through the messes in your life. What is one product that you personally can’t live.

Driving directions are more detail oriented because the computer will ask for the city and state you are going to or one of your saved points. Then it will ask you for either a business or a specific address if you have one. The computer will then get your location through their GPS system and download the turn by turn directions to your vehicle’s computer. Once the download is complete the computer will tell you download is complete and that you may use your phone.

I ordered this from Amazon and included the photos here. So far it has worked flawlessly for me with my wife’s 2006 BMW X3 and my 2004 Toyota Tundra Double Cab. I was able to read 2 fault codes in the BMW and clear both so the Service Engine Soon light was turned off (see disclaimer below on doing this).

2. Factory Five Racing Type 65 DaytonaThere aren’t many cars that are more beautiful than the AC Cobra, but this is one of them. Based on the super rare, race spec only 1964/1965 Shelby Daytona, this is a stunning kit for those wanting something a little special and rare. They only ever built six originals, so there aren’t too many floating about.

John Murphy, an analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, is bullish on Ferrari stock with a buy rating and a $150 price target. He said the Icona series cars (the Monza SP1 and SP2), as well as the other 15 all new or redesigned models that Ferrari announced as part of its 2018 2022 business plan, will help broaden the product lineup and boost revenue.
