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.

Quite frankly, I don’t understand it either. But nevertheless, McLaren’s direct rival to the 458 has shown the world that they can still churn out a serious machine for the race connoisseur who’s not really interested in ‘posing’ or flashing a brand name but prefers what can possibly be technically sound. The MP4 12C is McLaren’s 2nd road car after the McLaren F1 (the supercar which defined the 1990s) and the SLR (jointly built with Mercedes) so they had to ensure they gave it their best when releasing the usually difficult ‘third album’.

I absolutely know what it looks like and how hard it is. Those folks don’t have an issue with you if you aren’t abusing the system (which it really doesn’t sound like you are), they have a problem with those who do and that they are as frustrated by the economy as you are.

Does anyone have suggestions for good, fuel efficient winter vehicles? And is owning two vehicles worth it for the large amount of fuel savings (keeping in mind we’re in Ontario where gas/diesel is more expensive, although prices haven’tbeen too bad as of late!) We already spend about $600 a month on fuel as it is, we live in a small town and have to drive 40+ min to get anywhere.

From race officials controlled by the defenders to the ability bfakn.club of the defenders to accept or reject any challenger, the stipulations the Cup holders had written for themselves were seen by many as the most biased and unsportsmanlike in the history of the event. Under these rules, the management of the 33rd America’s Cup would be anything but independent. Certainly, it would not be fair. While it was accepted that the America’s Cup pitch was usually skewed to some degree, the AC33 protocol was seen by many as a step too far. The trouble was that few knew how to address the issue to level the pitch.

When she wrote “Like a Prayer,” she came into a more mature period of her life. Madonna met Guy Ritchie in 1999, and they have a son together, Rocco. They got married in Scotland in 2000, and Madonna and family lived in England part time during the years of her marriage to Ritchie. Her Confessions tour of 2005 was the highest grossing tour to that date for any female artist.

Defeating the Swiss marked a new start for the competition, placing the future of the event in the cooperation between BMW Oracle, the GGYC and the new Challenger of Record, the Club Nautico di Roma and its Mascalzone Latino team. Unlike the invalid Spanish club of 2007, this Italian team has been involved in America’s Cup racing since 2002. Could the Cup recover and get back on track?

If you have both of these symptoms then the culprit is very likely to be a stripped gear inside the transfer case motor. The transfer case actuator motor is a small motor that is bolted on to the transfer case and can be removed and replaced (or repaired with a new internal gear).

And to declare that only you (or other citizen) has a right to determine the validity of police suspicion is just as wrong. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen any police brutality where the police had no reason to suspect that either a crime had been or soon might be committed.

As for why it doesn’t fit I’m not 100% sure what the problem is. But it’s almost like the latches aren’t long enough so when you push them in they can’t reach to latch on. The angle in which the seat would sit on doesn’t seem right either. She never told me why they aren’t compatible, just that the quality control people did tests and that the latch system doesn’t work with certain BMW’s.

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.

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. The concept looks great, but it is not much different from many prototypes on other chains.

To buy an used Prius (or electric Leaf with the CA carpool access sticker if you can charge at home or work since you considering an electric 530e). Or simply an used, reliable econobox like an $10k Civic or Corolla. Bank your $1,000+ monthly savings from your low total cost of ownership and save it up in your slush fund or pay off your high interest debt.

“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.”

I bought the Peugeot because it was within my price range and is a soft top. Since I cannot afford to buy a bike and all the paraphernalia that goes with it at this time, I figured that a convertible would at least give me some of the fun factor back.

Gas Trips The money spent at gas stations. This includes gas expenses, air freshners, filling air. Now, these expenses are hard to track and I used mint to pull the information. The money spent at gas station might have been spent on chips and gum as well, and there is no way for me to know now. And so while the gas trip number may not be exact, but it is pretty close. I always use Premium 93 grade.

Luxury cars just don have the appeal to us that they used to. I don need the shit I thought I used to need, and I don even really want it. Seems like the cost is exponentially higher for a moderate amount of luxury features. There just isn any value there, but I guess that really isn their goal either.But thank you, and noted.

[WP]When you reach 18, you get put in a database which ranks you in different categories (ex. 207,145th in the world for most bug kills) You lived on a ranch and never used tech. You had to go into town after your 18th birthday. Everyone is staring at you. You finally decide to check the database.

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.

Despite being a technology that could scale decades ago, car makers have kept them relatively gimped and failed to promote them when full EVs were still very expensive due to the cost per kWh and now that the gap has been closed, their relevancy is reduced to either very low priced econoboxes or very large and heavy vehicles.

Decide what car seats you want before you buy the car. That way you can actually take a seat with you and install it and test it out in the car. Much easier to fit the car to the seat than the seat to the car (although it’s ok either way). Check out leg room most infant seats take up a decent amount of front to back room because of the recline needed for an infant 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.

Don buy a 10 year old BMW/Merc/Audi/Alfa without seriously looking at the enthusiast forums. Specifically look at the faults and repairs stories.A lot of parts are available cheap enough but the electronics are still expensive and if something like an airbag light or ASC module fails, you looking at a big money replacement.

Tbh, if I were to move back in to Boston, I’d buy a BMW 310r and bike in and out to work. Maybe sell your Nissan for that for spring autumn. Then you can save miles and wear and tear on the X5 and make it last way longer and save yourself the headache. In a big car Boston is a night mare. On a bike? It’s fun and easy to park and since Boston is 90% slow moving traffic the risk of bike accidents goes down Astronomically vs a fast moving city like Austin or Indianapolis. And you’ll get 55 76 mpg.

Currently, the i3 has been sitting in the shop for 3 weeks waiting on warranty parts from the mothership the heating system leaked coolant on the primary high voltage cable. While it was still driving as normal, it had an ominous warning of a drivetrain malfunction that “should continue to drive; yet get service soon”

Second, the “all anyone cares about is your tits” is a direct remark against men immediate interest in boobs, and a remark against objectification. This likely would not have been said, if this wasn intended to be brought up that I was somehow objectifying women. The whole deal of men objectifying women isn exactly some sort of underground thing that no one knows about.

In order to connect to the OBD II port and read the ECU information, you need an adapter and a reader (or a single unit that does both, see below). There are a lot of options out there, but here I am reviewing a very inexpensive Bluetooth adapter that you can then connect to with an Android powered smartphone and use an app called Torque Pro to read the information. I’ve also included below a link to an all in one unit for those who don’t have or don’t want to use a smartphone.

TLDR: BMW lease gone wrong, left with $825/mo payment and seeking options to get rid of the carStop leasing luxury cars you can pay for in cash. Just leasing a BMW is screwing yourself. You get to pay for the most expensive part of the depreciation with nothing to show for.

YDS currently rides in a Diono Rainier in our SUVs. He’s comfy there, and I love the seat. I tried the Rainier in the X3 during our test drive and it didn’t seem like a great fit; however there wasn’t enough time to really do a full install with the AA. The passenger seat had to be pretty far up. I’d be the passenger and I’m not too sure about riding with my knees against the dash. ODS is in the back seat too (Britax Frontier, harnessed, 46 and 46″ with a long torso at nearly 5yo; not ready for a booster due to immaturity), so not enough space for me to fit in the back on a regular basis. YDS is 21 months. At 18 months, he was slightlyunder 50th percentile for height and weight, 24 and 32″. I’m hoping to RF (rear facing) until he’s at least 3 yo, but preferably longer if I can.

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.

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.

At least that is what his dad said. maybe i am the only one here trying to teach him anything.Polly Cposted 7 years agoI have a 12 year old son and there would be no chance of him driving my car! Aside from being illegal, I can’t think of anything worse it’s bad enough seeing him on the road on a bike to be honest.

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.

The car was unveiled inside the belly of a cargo plane at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. Inside, BMW’s executives displayed working versions of some of the technologies being considered for the car, including touch sensitive fabrics and interactive projections. As with any concept vehicle, it’s not yet clear which aspects or capabilities will actually be in the production version.

It’s a complete road/track animal: light weight (515kgs) front engined and rear wheel drive. Anyone who’s ever driven one will tell you how much fun these cars are! The kit also comes as a complete package, with engine and all! The R400 comes complete with a 2l Ford Duratec engine developing 210bhp, thanks to Cosworth hitting it with the power stick. That’s 420bhp/tonne. The bad part in all this is the 31,000 asking price, but to be honest with you, they are worth every penny. If you can’t afford this one, the classic kit starts at just 13,300 and that still has an engine, although only a 105bhp 1.4 Rover K series engine. Still, 200bhp/tonne is a great place to start with a Caterham.

You tried to say that I stated that about some idiotic thing you decided was what I was talking about. It is not the case. Which is why I called into question what your babbling about being bi was all about, when it was a situation that only affects men. Not whatever situation you talking about.

Have you ever done multiclass racing before?If you haven I heavily recommend racing in GT3 before going GTE. It sounds like you own the Ferrari GT3, so you done so GT3 racing but only in the Ferrari challenge series. IMSA, in either GTE or GT3, is a completely different beast.If you do a season in the GT3s first, you will gain skills needed to drive the GTE cars later.
