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.

So the best advice I can give you is to just keep going, even if you think you reached your limit you do it a tiny bit better each lap.First, get comfortable with the car, do bfakn.club some fast laps followed by some laps, where you try to drift the car a bit and take corners completely different like you used to.

So I hate to do this because I tried to use this exact argument as to how it not so much Tesla leading the charge into a BEV future, but governments, but so far (unless something had changed in the past 6 months) none of those countries have any sort of signed and ratified legislation those dates are just promises/pledges. Maybe they will happen, maybe they won It likely depend on the feasibility of actually banning ICE/PHEV vehicles at the time. I suspect those who set 2025 dates will push those back. I suspect those who set 2040 dates might be ok. That said, 20 years of more PHEV and less pure ICE is absolutely a good step and absolutely part of the solutions.

Anyway, having established the connection between BMW and VerifyCar, the second part of the image includes a tweet from a VeChain VP talking about how VeChain reps were showcasing VerifyCar to BMW. The tweet is from October, but regardless I think the point was to use the BMWBLOG text to corroborate what VeChain had been saying all along. In other words, they are using the first part of the image to lend credibility to the second.

Honestly I more nostalgic for the cars I wanted if I just had a bit more money when I was in high school. That was around 2010ish, and I dreamed of 90 WRXs, Legacy GTs, Evos, Integra and Civic Type Rs, basically sporty 90 Japanese cars that were just a bit out of my reach but some of the other kids in school had. I actually especially nostalgic for Starlet GTs and Glanza turbos because I came very close to buying one for my first car, before I came across a deal on an Accord Euro R.

High resale value. A Mini brand car has a pretty good resale value, assuming the car is in great shape and has no problems with it. If and when you decide to get rid of your car, you will earn more back than what you would with other vehicles. I tend to change cars every five years, and while I may not with my Mini, having a high trade in value is definitely a bonus.

About a week ago I lost my card for food stamps. Got a new one. Cleaned my car, found my old one. Sooo today I went to the grocery store. I went to pay and realized I had my old card. The guy was so rude to me when I came back. I hate how much people change from when you walk up, to when you swipe your card. When I was married it was hard to see such a high percentage of our checks being devoured by insurance and taxes. I hear people talk about the same thing with the young women, how do they do that? In NC, I really don’t think it is possible but that women you were talking about is the stereotype everyone imagens when GA is diccused.

I never driven a real FWD where the back is so happy to come around as that piece of crap.Do someone have a video of a fast lap with that car on Nrburgring GP short, so I can see how others does it? Any suggestions on settings to make it bearable?No, that was me being dumb, lol.

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.

3. Crossover utility vehicles combine the features of hatchbacks and station wagons with those of SUVs. In recent years, crossovers have been trending in popularity. They have some features inherited from SUVs, like high point seating, high ground clearance, 4 wheel drive (optional) and a tall interior. On the other hand, they also have some characteristics of hatchbacks or wagons, like great handling, good fuel efficiency, a passenger vehicle’s platform and 2 box design.

I’ve never played Artifact, but just that simple animation pacing was done poorly in Eternal, Gwent, Shadowverse, and Elder Scrolls: Legends. I tried getting into those but those differences just make it harder for a new player to understand what their opponent is doing, and therefore understand the game. You can dig up play history but it’s just not as approachable, and that doesn’t work on twitch. And indeed, while watching Artifact, cards would fly around during the game quickly and I would have no clue what they were.

Society has figured out that normally until a player is defeated, you give them the benefit. Otherwise there will be no ranking systems and we can just draw names out of a hat to seed players. So until there is a new champion, the previous champion is given the title, the points etc. That why ranking systems allow you to defend your points and not simply have the points disappear. Federer already lost his 2017 title to Novak. He isn the defending champion. He isn defending anything at Wimbledon now.

The car: a BMW i3. It has only two seats in the back so width isn’t an issue, but front to back size is. Also, the back doors are suicide doors, so I’ll need to be able to undo the latch connectors and pivot the seat 90 degrees to remove my child while he’s rear facing. I’m concerned that when the seat reaches its upper limits for latch and we need to switch to belt installation, it will get too difficult to operate.

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.

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.

Do you have a food that you simply can’t live without? A craving that just can’t be met with anything but whatever you favorite food is?I know we can litterally live without alot of things but do you have some food that you just love?What is the thing that you can’t live without it? Why?by judalyn eres 3 years ago

I paid off my student loan earlier this year so i have zero debt. My housing and other monthly costs are low. I have a 2007 Chevy Tahoe that is paid off with 106k miles. Its worth about 10 12k. I want to trade my truck in and finance the difference, which means i will ideally finance 10k.

I would be concerned about keeping a nicer car safe being that your beater already got broken in to. I am a sucker for toys of the four wheeled variety, but maybe it would be better to just buy reliable transportation in cash right now and allocate your income to getting your down payment put together to get in to a house (assuming you’re going to continue to live in the area for a while)Car guy here. A civic is nearly as fast (if you not a car person you won notice the acceleration difference), handles better, and has way more luxury features than a 328i. The only two things the 328i has on a Civic is better ride quality and less road noise. If you actually looking for a car that is fun to drive, you can do much, much better for way less money. But seriously, another note on features, the BMW 3 series fully loaded has a serious lack of luxury features compared to all economy brands: Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, and Kia all have more and better features than 3 series BMWs.

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.

Assembly While the cam locks are somewhat avoidable in the import cabinets, there are a few that offer a true dado assembly and require glues and fasteners that are nailed or screwed on. Some even use pocket screws to hold the cabinet together. While this seems like a minor point, it’s actually huge. Over time, as wood expands and contracts and cabinet contents shift, inferior construction will almost always lead to separation of cabinet panels, cabinets peeling from the wall and other shocking developments. There is one American Made RTA cabinet (made by Conestoga Wood Specialties) that even offers a really unique sliding dovetail technology where the wood panels (top/bottom and sides) dovetail together so that the cabinet literally cannot fall apart once assembled.

Hey all! I would love some advice on fitting 3 car seats across in an x3. My daughter is 5 (and a tiny thing) and in a Britax Marathon 70. My son is 2.5 and we just swapped his marathon out for a Radian rxt. We were planning on swapping my daughter out to a Radian as well. Our 3rd is coming in July and we’d love to be able to use 3 seats back there, with one being an infant seat.

When our boys were born (14 months apart) we purchased a Graco double stroller. thing couldn’t turn corners for anything. couldn’t stand that. haven’t any problems and I have been using the thing almost everyday for the last few months. seriously LOVE this double stroller. can even push it and turn corners with 1 hand. is that awesome!

You in LA, in addition to the high monthly BMW lease payments, the $500 annual car registration fees, mandatory $2k/year full coverage car insurance, higher premium fuel usage at $5/gal, replacement runflat tires at $1500 a set, BMW $900 lease acquisition, $500 lease turn in fees, extra miles charges, and “outside the norm wear tear” costs at lease turn in will eat you alive.

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 think there is too much fuss going on about, but since you commented you might as well admit yours kinda was wrong there. You think basketball but there is volleyball, some think tennis but there is ping pong. Making same advance ladders in two different sports and similarsing them (in whatever, prize $, or reward potential) does not guarantee less popular to suddenly become on par with the other.

Instead, the real money can be made with Ferraris that have a racing heritage. Bonhams sold a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO in 2014 for $38.1 million, which set a new world auction record at the time. That was broken four years later, when RM Sotheby’s found a buyer willing to drop $48.4 million for one. A third 250 GTO exchanged hands for $70 million in a private sale.

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.

On the face of it, by the time the event took place in February, the bitter and divisive affair had achieved little more than illustrating what happens when the sporting co operation that’s so often taken for granted breaks down. To the cynical views of Alinghi and SNG supporters, Ellison had finally gained an entrance to the America’s Cup match proper, something that had eluded him when faced with a multichallenger selection series. By challenging the rules in the courts he now had the defender all to himself.

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.
