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.

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).

Since you know you have $15k of negative equity already, lawyering up and throwing good money after bad by futilely disputing your signed and likely ironclad BMW Financial lease contract or worse considering rolling your massive negative equity into a new $60 80k rapidly depreciating luxury car (530e) lease will just make your financial problems worse.

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.

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.

You already have a head start with no cc or student loan debt, so stay ahead of game. Also build up a rainy day, emergency fund of liquid investments, you never know when you will get sick/ loose a job. Besides that, buying a 45 65k car on an 80k salary would not be advisable unless OP had significant savings.

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.

But it is the post 1969 bikes, built after BMW moved motorcycle production from Munich to Spandau in West Berlin, that are attracting both touring riders and collectors. “Before the move to Spandau, BMW motorcycles were expensive to produce and not sold all over the world. Each bike was assembled by an individual engineer, asystem that was not financially viable andalmost bankrupted the company,” explains Peter Ardron, chairman of the UK based BMW Airhead Fellowship. “But production changed completely after that, because the plant shifted to more efficient build methods while retaining the existing standards of quality. That’s when BMW Motorrad really took off.”Ardron cites the R90S as one of the most sought after classic models, around 17,500 examples of which were built from 1973 to 1976. Featuring an 898cc engine producing 67bhp, a small “bikini” fairing and a neat “ducktail” seat, the bike had a top speed of 125mph, effortless cruising ability and distinctive looks, thanks to its “smoke effect” paintwork insilver grey or Daytona orange.

The “Nordschleife”, or “north loop”, of Fangio’s day ceased to be considered viable for Formula One back in 1976, after Niki Lauda at the time the fastest driver around the circuit suffered a near fatal accident when a suspected suspension failure caused his car to slide off the track, overturn and burst into flames on the second lap of the grand prix. Aside from its limited run off and relative narrowness, it is the sheer length that makes it so difficult to adequately marshal and therefore highly dangerous. Even in its shortest of several configurations, it measures an exhausting 20.8km but when Fangio won in 1954 the course was almost 2km longer and the race lasted a gruelling 22 laps.

I believe the glue that holds the whole thing together is DNVGL. They are the trusted, assurance provider that take away the anxiety from things like working with a Chinese company, an unknown startup, or onboarding new tech. In Vechain’s case, all 3 points are valid, so it would take A LOT more than just great tech and partnerships to onboard western companies like BMW. It would take someone that’s respected world wide, has a tremendous reputation of providing certifications, and trusted to deliver on their promise, and that party is DNVGL.

Is that an extra Rainier or the one in YOUR SUV? If it’s in your SUV and you are happy with it there, just leave it be. My DS (dear son) was 46″/46 on his 5th birthday, and I harnessed him in a Frontier till 6.7 yo (49″, 55). Then I moved him into a Diono Monterey.

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.

This is a stunning car, especially for a relatively small manufacturer price. It’s fast, handles well, is super fun to drive, and is very rare. You could build a basic one up for $55,000 but if you want something to compete with the fastest in the world, look to spend $80,000+.

For instance when I am in maps through a hot click from a notification in the music app, from the app POV I am still on the music screen which messes up the one click navigation from the buttons next to the controller. Hope that makes sense.Also the HUD display and controls don’t work with CarPlay.

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.

Day two sees more of the same, plus multiple runs on individual sections of the track that are famously difficult to master. As someone who freely admitted to being too scared to go it alone in my own car (without the untold benefits of insurance, since few companies will cover a driver on the ring), the fully insured BMW course seemed ideal so, after a 90 minute flight from Heathrow to Frankfurt and an autobahn blast to the circuit 100 odd miles away, it was time for what my instructor worryingly described as my Nordschleife “blooding”.

I been researching about the F30 328D in North America and I curious what the ownership costs are. So far I read there are a couple 온라인카지노 issues such as: NOx sensor going bad (Been trying to find DIY guides, but there doesn seem to be any) Transfer case going bad (Replacing with an used unit a bad idea?)

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.

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.

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.

She found out during the filming of Evita that she was pregnant with her daughter Lourdes, with Carlos Leon, her personal trainer. Madonna is not a terrific singer, or the most beautiful woman around, but she knows how to market herself, and how to handle her money. When she wrote her 1998 album Ray of Light, she was interested in Eastern Mysticism and the Kabbalah, and claims that her perception of life changed quite a bit.

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 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!

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.

Eh I just don agree with that. They are elite at one task within a sport. Baseball is very complicated. You could have an athletic freak in centerfield and CC Sabathia on the mound. I believe that CC is top of his class at what he does. But my take is that athleticism is generally a trait that carries to multiple sports. That doesn mean you are skilled at multiple sports but the overall trait of being athletic can help you in multiple sports. A lot of baseball players are not that. They are just incredibly good at fundamentals and technique. CC Sabathia has to basically only throw a ball from point A to point B. Granted he one of the best in the world at that but outside of that what does he do in baseball that makes him an elite athlete? He an elite baseball player but not an elite athlete.

Backstory on how this huge post was conceived. I was initially researching the history of Mazda participation in Le Mans as part of a secret project for YouTube that didn pan out. One of the main points that I was about to look into is why the Rotary engine was “banned” (Spoilers: it wasn “banned”).

Throughout this whole process I kept thinking: I could walk into any BMW, Porsche, Toyota, whatever dealership with this pre approved loan and leave with a new car in less than 60 minutes most likely. If it took longer, it only be because they getting me a bigger discount or getting it delivered from another store.

When looking for your next cabinet for your kitchen or bath, take a look at the following and make sure it’s what you have in mind for your remodel. Just because it’s advertised as an “all plywood box with a Cherry stain” does not make it a quality cabinet any more than a Chevrolet advertised with four tires and an engine is the same car as a BMW.

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.

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.”

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.

The thing is if something as small as this gets caught in post race scrutineering it reflects just as badly on the scrutineers because its small enough that its not going to have a major effect on the race but still enough to DQ a team and waste their weekend (or in this case few months) which would been just fine if the scrutineers spotted it first time. Usually an apology from the organisers is in order, since its FIA sanctioned thats probably not going to happen.

Then enters the ATS, It had 1 owner who put less than 10k miles on it per year and was everything seemed basically brand new. It was in a much better condition, had way more tech, AND it was a few thousand dollars cheaper than the BMW, it was a no brainer. These are the types of cars that I love to buy because they are such a steal on the pre owned market. Now, buying these brand new is a different story but I never do such a thing with most vehicles.

Phone featuresOnce your phone is paired correctly to the vehicle and you have your Sync account activated, you can use all the Sync and services. One of the phone services that is not compatible with my particular phone is the text messaging. The Sync system will read your text messages aloud to you if it is compatible with your phone. Refer to the website for a list of compatible text messaging phones. I know that most of the Motorola Razr phones are compatible with the text messaging feature.

2 is even harder, because cheaters never admit they cheated. You not going to be able to interview them, because they either going to clam up and say “no comment,” or they keep insisting they didn cheat. Maybe that why there has been so little written on it. I did read an interview with Eddy Hellebuyck where, years after the fact, he admitted that he been doping. But that was kind of different in that he was a world class runner making a living off of running, and was doping instead of course cutting.

London based fan Peter Simms has owned his 1976 R90S for 30 years, and has ridden it more than 200,000 miles. “I use it virtually every day, which, given its age, bears testament to the superb build quality. I have travelled all over Europe on it and can’t think of a bike, new or old, that could possibly replace it. It’s comfortable, fast, beautifully made and has bags of character.”

Cool. Gently lifted will mean different things to different people why not include one of these scales and specify “10 lbs” or “5.5 lbs” when measured at a specific spot (“Belt tension should measure between 3.2 and 3.5 lbs when measured at the center of the rail”)? This would massively improve the assembly experience, repeatability, and future adjustments (Oh, my belt tension is only 2 lbs, better tighten that up/replace the belt).

We are traveling in May with LO (little one) who will be 18 months. I am planning on taking our Sureride for the flight (he has his own seat), and installing it FF on the plane. Not thrilled with FF for the flight, but I’m ok with it, and knew that would have to happen on a flight with this particular seat.

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.

Nobody really knows how Lexus did it, but the fast revving 4.8 Litre V10 in the LFA was so fast that they had to replace a traditional rev counter with dials with an electronic one. An extremely futuristic exhaust and cockpit ensured that the LFA was literally a car that was one of a kind and anyone lucky enough to be able to afford and buy it was indeed buying and preserving a piece of unique art and history.

Road safety shows, crash test videos or other will show the public road is for safe sensible driving and anything else is for off road or motorsport. Just a thought and I don’t mean to tread on any toes,landscapeartistposted 7 years agoin reply to thisthank you for your comment. I understand what you are getting at fully regarding the safety shows and such.

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?

Yeah I hear you on the handling, I actually had a chance to drive an i3 rex in Virginia, drove 30 MNS from DC to go see it. The place had a mix bag of reviews. It was a 2015 with 32000 miles 바카라사이트 with ACC and Park assist for $16998. Driving that thing was sweet, first ever EV driven, it felt very comfortable, the 10″ screen was huge, crisp, couldn get my eyes of it. Carvana is no all 5 stars rating but once again that 7 days is there for you to make them pay for any mechanical issue not stated, after all they charge you $2000 to $5000 above average.

If you talking about V8s specifically then yeah, but in general I not sure about that. Just as an example, have a look at the Chevelle SS. If you wanted the “450hp” LS6 you were going to have to spend at least $3312 in 1970, which is just under $22,000 today. If you wanted air conditioning and a AM/FM radio with tape deck options you be looking at over $4000, or over $26,000 in todays money. That still doesn sound like much for 450hp, but on a modern dyno the Chevelle only made 283hp. That because it was 450 gross hp, today we measure net hp which gives a significantly lower but much more realistic number. An Ecoboost Mustang makes about the same power on a dyno, starts at bit less than $26,000, has plenty of cheap tuning potential, and comes standard with features they wouldn have dreamed of when the Chevelle was made.

I lusted for BMWs for years. 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.”

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.

Idea 8: Teens Make Money by Buying and Selling ItemsIf a teen or child is a thrifty shopper, this might just be the job for him or her. This gig requires a passion for shopping, the ability to know which things people will want to buy, and the ability to find steals and deals. The items can be found in several thrifty places such as:

For strollers, we tried both the Baby Jogger City Select with second seat and the Baby Trend Double Snap N Go, and we registered for the Baby Jogger and bought a used Snap N Go for $20 last weekend. It folds so much flatter and is lighter, but the Baby Jogger will be our “forever” stroller.

Today those fuels are still offered at gas stations and the government forces gas producers to mix it into the gasoline (heavily jeopardizing the overall gasoline quality). Other than that, there is an equation that gas stations put up showing when its better to buy biofuels than gasoline. I never seen the equation pointing towards them.

And part of drunk driving law is that, if you are found driving drunk, you are obligated to give a blood sample to confirm this. There is no requirement for a warrant in that law. Requiring some bullshit extra formality in this case makes no sense whatsoever, and it has no point beyond pleasing some overly concerned citizens.

I would tend to disagree while they don set lap times that are that much quicker than a GT3, they much harder to drive faster/better than a GT3. The GT3s are much more forgiving. I was in an IMSA race a week or two ago driving a GT3 and had to contend with GTE drivers who were slower than me in the corners, but (a little) faster on the straights, meaning they try and pass me in the corners, wouldn succeed, get bad exits from the corners then try again on the straight, get alongside me, try and pass, etc etc.

This step is easy! You will need all of the paperwork above, your license and your passport. You can find the nearest Kraftfahrzeugzulassungsstelle (car registration office) at the link available at the bottom of this article. When you are there, you will choose your registration plate and afterwards you will need to get it made. However, the folks at the registration office will give you all the assistance you need.

I’d like to hear some ideas from other Hubbers. Given those criteria (15+ years old, good condition, under $20,000), what vehicle would you buy and why?Ross Kposted 8 years agoI would recommend a Mercedes E Class from 90 94. These cars were over engineered and built like tanks. Nothing like Benz’s of today.

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.

If premium is recommended but not required then you can run whatever makes sense to you. With premium, the engine will make a little more power and get slightly better MPGs but it might still be more economical to run regular because of the difference in price if you don mind losing a few HP/TQ.

Took the CarPlay option for 3 years but it is not good value for money, meaning for my next car I will not buy it and stick with the default connected drive ui.There are some finicky UI issues: when using the buttons in the car to go to CarPlay menus or screens it will just go to the active CarPlay screen depending on your location.

(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.

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.

This is not to say other card games can’t be good, or can’t do fine on twitch, or that you personally have a hard time watching Artifact, or whatever. It’s just that these core fundamental bits of Hearthstone were executed brilliantly from day 1, and it’s a big reason why Hearthstone has been so popular on Twitch for so long (among other benefits).

Day two sees more of the same, plus multiple runs on individual sections of the track that are famously difficult to master.

It absolutely is a luxury car. Perhaps not the base model with manual seats and no heated seats. A average selling price of 50k and premium features all the way around. How can you argue it isn doesn have ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, the suspension isn what I expect in a luxury car, the car is noisier than a typical luxury car, the seats are not like that of a typical luxury style car, the interior finishes don scream luxury to me either. Don get me wrong the model 3 is absolutely a premium car. I just don feel it crossed the line into luxury. I also don feel that entry level BMWs, Audis, Acuras or Mercs fall into that category either. Premium, yes. Luxury, no. Luxury is getting into a super comfortable seat you melt into, feel like you are riding on a cloud, surrounded by luxurious finishes and a nice quite ride. The model 3 is a terrifically fun car to drive, but it isn luxury. It a terrific car, and a really fun one to drive, but I don know how anyone can call it luxury.

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?

Winning won make a difference. Mets were better than the Yankees for a few years, they still a distant second. Jets were much better than the Giants for years, they still a distant second. Islanders were better than the Rangers for YEARS, they still a distant second. NY sports fans aren fickle.

Not “only in South Africa”, even Gordon Brown is being hauled over the coals for spending too much government money on personal items. Seems all politicians are the same worldwide. We are kidding ourselves in voting for their election “promises”. Every politician of every creed only cares about lining their own pockets and then they incite us with their pretty speeches (never written by themselves)to turn against each other because of all the problems they have created. Booooo to all politicians and their greed. Good luck to every private citizen you’re on your own, mate!

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.

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.

Whether these things are valuable to people or not is not the point, the point is, if I am paying such a premium for a BMW, I want it to have a all the features. This has been the case since years and when I asked the salesman why they don have ConnectedDrive, he told me it due to the regulations with TRA in Abu Dhabi they haven approved it for BMW Abu Dhabi.

Most of the initial draft was is sourced from an editor written in the distinctive initials “MLC”. At the time, Motorsport Magazine enforced a policy to use initials in the fear that rival publishers poach their staff. We later learnt (and now confirmed) that “MLC” stands for “Michael Cotton” thanks to this archival list here.

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.

Whether it is your boss, a movie star, a friend, your partner, your spouse, or your children putting people on a pedestal is much different than holding someone in high regard. While there may be many attributes and abilities that you admire in another, putting them on a pedestal because they display certain traits serves neither yourself or the other.

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.

“Now, where the hell am I?” The Pardinus main cameras showed a slowing shifting view of space. Apparently, she was resting against some large piece of debris. As it spun, it showed her a view of the debris field which now included many more objects than it previously had. Apparently the battle has ended without me.

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.

GT3, which I know I mentioned a lot with little explanation, is a widely popular GT class, used in a wide plethora of huge series. They feature a wide variety of car types from different manufacturers, BoP to perform at the same pace. The class currently features cars from Mercedes, Audi, Lamborghini, Lexus, Honda, Nissan, Porsche, BMW, Ferrari, Aston Martin, McLaren and Bentley.

The video below goes some way to show just how fast this car is around corners too. Almost a full 5 SECONDS faster than the Koenigsegg CCX (although Top Gear keeps refusing to put it round themselves). Definitely worth watching just to hear the noise and witness the best kit car in the world doing its thing.

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

At 3 am on the 3rd, my sil was in labor, woke her hubby up and told him to get the car they’re going to the hosp. after blowing thru a few stoplights they arrived at the hospital, hubby ran inside to tell er dr to head out there cuz the baby was crowing in bmw, by the time he got back to the car the head was out and he got to deliver the rest!

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.

Most are, particularly in the high end. You still have plenty of manual performance cars under $60k being sold. Hot hatches, for example, all have manuals, and the manual variants sell well enough that automakers don’t have plans to discontinue them anytime soon (even in the US). Other cars that appeal heavily to enthusiasts like the Miata still sell 60% as manuals!

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.

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.

I guessing OP is either not understanding what really took place (most likely), or is not explaining the situation correctly, because it doesn make sense. That exactly why I have little doubt that this first time buyer cosigining with boyfriends is in the wrong, not a franchised dealership of a heavy leasing brand who ultimately has to approve and finalize these deals, and are “on the hook” for everything they contractually enter.

So it basically like a corolla in a bmw shell the way I look at it, you are only paying for a nice interior and a bmw badge on it. I just don see the point in buying a performance luxury car if it not sporty. It like buying a new Challenger opting for the v6 instead of the 5.7 or 6.4 392 for an extra 5 6k.

This helps address a potential conflict of interest which is called the principal agent problem. The issue is that agent (Raiola) is representing not only the financial interests of his principal (de Ligt), but also of Raiola himself. If Raiola were to get a percentage of whatever de Ligt is paid, then Raiola interests should be fully aligned with his principal, and he is incentivized to get de Ligt the best possible contract because that will get him the most compensation as well.

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.

BUT. We never see a gas station on the regular (before you get stuck on nitpicking, I mean not a gas station because the thing doesn take gas, but also primarily mean equivalent SuperCharger, as in something you HAVE to stop at in order to refill energy). Until our first roadtrip, and we own two, count them, 2 M3 LRs for a combined 12+ months (one for 8 mo, the other for an overlapped 4 mo), we had never been to a Supercharger.

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.

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).

He is very impulsive and not very sensible just yet.landscapeartistposted 7 years agoin reply to thiswhere i live the kids are known for sneaking around taking people cars out of their driveway and returnin them before anyone wakes up. i lock my car and keep my keys up in my room.

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.

The second system is the mechanical standard. This is a rigid and comprehensive system that is unique to Germany, for reasons I can only ascribe to their culture. Germans simply require excellence in all things mechanical. Before you can register any vehicle (and this applies to registration renewals too), you will need to acquire a ‘Hauptuntersuchung’ (abbreviated to ‘HU’) certificate. This system is overseen by the Technischer berwachungs Verein (TV), a body that exists solely for this purpose. Obtaining the certificate involves a comprehensive safety check of the vehicle by a certified mechanic, covering everything operational on the car. This includes glass, wheels, engine, brakes, lights, chassis and more. The good news is that if a seller can provide you with this certificate, the car should be in reasonable mechanical condition. The bad news is that it almost always uncovers work that needs to be done before the car can be registered. It may sound draconian, but I actually find merit in this system because it maintains a safer road environment. On a peculiar note, you can find the same certification in elevators too. That random fact should give some comfort to those readers who have a fear of elevators descending faster 바카라사이트 than the speed of an ex pat on the autobahn.

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.

My 3.5 year old is in a Roundabout, just about to outgrow it (he is just under 40 pounds and 40 inches, 15 inch torso). 18 month old is in a Comfortsport RF (rear facing) with about 3 inches(approx) left of shell above his head (24 pounds, 34 inches, 12.5 inch torso). The infant seat I have is a Peg Perego sip 22 pound limit. We just sold my Miitsubishi Endeavor today, and my husbands current car is a Ford Excursion so room is not a problem. I will most likely start driving the Excursion town with the kids he will get a smaller car (possibly a BMW or similar size) to commute to work. However we would still like the option of drviing in the car with the 3 kids if possible. Plan on having to buy a few new carseats either way. I was looking at a Frontier for my older child for the Excursion, and was going to buy him a Radian for my Endeavor but now we sold that car.

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 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.

If you disagree with someone, attack their argument, not them. Chances are they aren married to their opinion anyway, although it can sure seem like that based on the rhetoric you see online. Most people don accurately express their level of commitment toward any given position they hold, and we aren all perfect wordsmiths anyway. By attacking the argument, you get to the crux of the issue, keep it non personal (and thereby less emotional) and allow the person to come around to your point of view through reasoned debate and discussion. If you publicly attack them personally, not only are you conceding that your argument is dogshit (since ad hominem is probably the single most widely known logical fallacy) but you remove the opportunity for them to come around to your point of view, demonstrating that you would rather express malice than genuinely seek an better understanding of the issue at hand, let alone attempt to resolve it.

I would tend to disagree while they don set lap times that are that much quicker than a GT3, they much harder to drive faster/better than a GT3. The GT3s are much more forgiving. I was in an IMSA race a week or two ago driving a GT3 and had to contend with GTE drivers who were slower than me in the corners, but (a little) faster on the straights, meaning they try and pass me in the corners, wouldn succeed, get bad exits from the corners then try again on the straight, get alongside me, try and pass, etc etc.

Since you mentioned sports/alcohol. I throw this out there: I pretty involved with the soccer community in the upstate. The US Women are playing in the world cup and there are watch parties you can go to and have a good team. The American Outlaws meet at Growler Haus in the Village of West Greenville and we be there Thursday for the 3pm game (and the men game tomorrow at 10pm).

I’m still pounding my head into the wall over it, so thank you very much Mr. Muscle. Whatever company makes Tylenol, invest in it. I’m taking it by the truckload with all this head banging. Oh yes, and drywall. Invest in that too. In the past Ive resolved to eat more fruit, remember peoples names, and drink less beer. But this year, I resolved to buy sexier underwear.

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.

When I use my front wheel drive Toyota, no problem at all. Any skidding is purely for fun I love doing handbrake turns when the roads are iced up. Yeah OK, I’m just a big kid but when no one is about and the roads are sheet ice it’s an opportunity to practice controlled slides.

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.

It’s the same story with the MK4 Roadster as with the hot rod above: All you need is an engine (Ford 289/302, 351, or 4.6l 4V V8), transmission, rear end, paint, wheels, tyres, batter, and fuel pump. All in all, this is a great little bit of kit for the money, and it’s backed up by professional service, outstanding quality, and a great price! As with the ’33 Hot Rod, expect to pay upwards of $25,000 for a completed car.

This post has gotten longer than I expected already but I will add this: I recently sold my CTS V for a nice truck that much cheaper to own and drive, and that I enjoy almost as much. I still dont regret it a damn bit, even having calculated my total cost of ownership after the fact.

Reitman, who has a neutral rating on Ferrari stock and a 12 month price target of $141, said he’s confident in the company’s new CEO Louis Camilleri. Previous management pushed volume of lower priced series cars at any cost while Camilleri has put an emphasis on higher end models like the upcoming mid engined SF90 Stradale plug in hybrid supercar, which is expected to be priced around 400,000 euros ($456,000).

With BMWs unless you want to play the repair game (DIY as much as possible, save up for catastrophic repairs), it best to budget accordingly, and look for a lease or used car with a third party warranty. Definitely at least until you done with car payments. You don want to to be paying for your car at the same time you get a $3K+ repair billThat isn necessarily a bad thing. A Civic is a small, reliable vehicle. One of my biggest complaints with small cars up until the late 2000 was that everyone assumed that you wanted a bare bones vehicle. If you look at my post history, for example, we have a Mazda3s Grand Touring, and an Acura TSX. We want small cars that are easy to park, relatively inexpensive to maintain, etc. but that have nice features like upgraded stereo systems with Bluetooth, leather, blind spot monitoring, a quieter ride, keyless entry and start, etc. It relatively light, so it easier on the brakes and tires which last longer than if I bought something bigger, we almost always are in the car alone, or with one another. Very rarely, we will have a 3rd and/or a 4th passenger, which our cars do just fine for the once in a blue moon that someone does actually use the back seat.

“And we recently in our rebranding event announced a partnership with BMW. Actually we are working with on a project with them right now and it going to be finished probably around in April or in May and BMW is going to announce the details of that project later in the next two or three months.”

It’s not too badly priced, either. The basic kit starts at 16,000, but you will, of course, need to spend a lot more to get those kind of figures. Some people say you should invest about 60,000 in a new Ultima, and like the Factory Five Racing GTM, carbon brakes would be a nice addition.

When he was a boy he made a mannequin and kept it inside a special case. Then he found a stone, and painted each half a different color, and added that to his case. He would write messages in his own secret language, and add those as well. He later said this felt like a ceremonial act, but at the time of his boyhood, it gave him a feeling of peace and serenity. When he got older, he realized that people in some civilizations kept totems, or soul stones, and celebrated these unconscious rituals in the same way he did with his items as a boy. His studies on psychological archetypes and the collective unconscious were inspired by these boyhood experiences.

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.

Utilising the Chevy platform (Corvette C5 1997 2004), this car needs a few more parts to complete than the other Factory Five kits. If you’re on a budget, you can buy a donor car. If you have a large pile of cash under your bed, how about completely new and upgraded parts and a stock Chevy LS or even the beast that is the Corvette ZR 1 638bhp LS9 engine?

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 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 카지노사이트 hesitant to supply this certificate, he needs an emissions check of his own!

But there was that word that got it all done for me. Deserve. It was the one word that I was trying to get at all along. It just never made it past my tongue, and certainly never made it past my keyboard and onto the screen in any of my hubs. In reality, looking back, I kind of feel like an idiot actually. God, it’s so simple. And I didn’t think of it. Carolina Muscle did. Another hubber. Not me. In a word he got it done. In a word he had summed up everything I had been trying to get across. After I read it, I thought with some exaggeration of course that I had quite literally found the Holy Grail in all of Its glory.

Less Room to Swing a CatThe power unit was to have been a cutting edge rotary Wankel engine purchased from General Motors. The car was designed around that engine. Unfortunately GM withdrew, as the Wankel was proving neither reliable nor fuel efficient, and in the wake of the 1974 Arab oil embargo this was now an issue. The engine also produced high amounts of N0x gasses that would not comply with the new emissions regulations. straight six under the hood. It was a tight fit but they squeezed it in. This change compromised the interior space and effectively rendered it a four seater as it necessitated the use of a drive tunnel to get the power to the rear wheels which took up space in the rear seating area. The Wankel which would have been front wheel drive would have needed no such tunnel. The car was still roomy but not as roomy as it might have been.

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.

The HAGI Top Index, which includes 50 models from 19 brands, is down 5.4% year to date but overall has an annualized rate of return of 13% in 38 years. HAGI’s Ferrari Index by comparison has fallen nearly 7% in the same time frame but had seen double digit growth rates until 2016. Its annualized rate of return is 14.8% since launching 38 years ago.

Anyway, I not trying to preach to you, because I don know anything about you. I just wanted to share my perspective. Probably because I horribly depressed so I understand on some level. Just don be fooled into believing that killing yourself is only going to affect you. It won You be driving a dagger straight into her soul.

Not everyone is willing to do this. If you not a DIY there not really any way to own an agog BMW inexpensively unless you get extremely lucky. It a game of odds, maybe one in one hundred 3 series are as reliable as your average Lexus IS 350. I much more comfortable rolling the dice on a Lexus.

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.

Another comment you mention a cheap series define cheap. You may find some local ish oval tracks that offer an inexpensive 4 cylinder or V8 class, which is some of the only racing aside from karting I can think of where you can run a whole season for under $10k. Knowing what kind of budget you dealing with will be helpful. There is a huge difference between what you can run with a budget of $1k or $10k or $100k.

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.

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.

I mean following your reasoning a couple of years ago I could have said my “attainable dream car” was a piece of shit 1999 four cylinder Accord, because I only had like $1000 to spend on a car and I wanted a station wagon and it was all I could afford. Do you think it would be cool if I made a post gushing about my “attainable dream car” in the title without specifying what it was, then go on to talk about this shitheap no one cares about?

That fame for reliability has made BMW motorcycles the default choice of the hard riding tourist for decades; and now celebrated models from the “airhead” era as pre 1995 machines with twin cylinder, air cooled engines are known are steadily rising in value as a growing number of enthusiasts come to appreciate their combination of classic looks, superb engineering and continued suitability for long distance riding.

Failing individual aspects of scrutineering is common in motorsports, as a engineer you always go into scrutineering knowing that if theres any detail you missed it will be picked up on so that you can correct it. As long as the scrutineers point it out and its fixed before the race starts everything good, no harm no foul. The Keating engineers would gone into scruinteering knowing that if they missed anything it be pointed out, would finished it confident that their car is legal, again with possible minor modifications, only to have the organisers turn around and say “actually we weren really paying attention last time so your disqualified, sorry better luck next year.” Its really soul crushing for the team.

Blancpain GT World Challenge without a doubt the biggest competition for GT3 racers. This series includes several regional sprint based championships (America, Europe and Asia), as well as the Blancpain Endurance Championship, which features 5 long distance races on European tracks, including the Spa 24 hours (27 28 July), which is without a doubt one of the jewels in the crown of GT racing. All races are livestreamed through YouTube.

I love my Britax. I decided to go for the Boulevards because the extra side impact protection was really important to me and the possibility of keeping baby rearfacing longer than Roundabout because of the extra length. I am amazed. Since I have friends who still have kids rearfacing at 3 in Blvd, I am not overly concerned. If my son outgrows it before I am ready to turn around I will research other options at that point. You cannot go wrong with any of the Birtax seats.

For strollers, we tried both the Baby Jogger City Select with second seat and the Baby Trend Double Snap N Go, and we registered for the Baby Jogger and bought a used Snap N Go for $20 last weekend. It folds so much flatter and is lighter, but the Baby Jogger will be our “forever” stroller.

Starting from 2019 there are special regulations for lane changes in the EU. A BMW lane Chance assistant was deployed in the 5 series and X3 which is on par with the Tesla system, performance wise. With the X5 this system isn available in the EU anymore (only US and China).

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.

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 온라인카지노 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.

Great gas mileage. Even though these cars use premium gas, it does offer decent gas mileage. I only have to fill up my tank once a month, and that is driving to and from work as well as other places around town. I can do about six to seven hours of solid freeway driving before needing a fill up.

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.

Sorry to come in to this over a week later, but I having similar issues during setup of an XL and one of my gripes to the friend who was present for assembly was not having any sort of accurate measurement for belt tension (or tension/torque on literally anything) in the basic instruction webpages. It not something specific to Shapeoko/Carbide 3D but it certainly souring my experience so far (in addition to a package that arrived with a damaged X axis beam that has made squaring extremely difficult and a number of spoilboard screw holes that had debris causing stripped and damaged screws which are arguably bigger issues than belt tension).

Australia has one of the lowest up takes of EVs partly because there currently little to no incentives for buying them. Australia is probably as close as it gets to a level playing field across the technology mix, and BEVs just don make sense (the new Hyundai Ioniq EV commands a 15k AUD premium over the hybrid version, for example, and with our current energy production mix, don make as much environmental sense as they do in other countries either).

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.

“The Portofino is the best selling Ferrari now in terms of volume,” he said. “The SF90 is a clear indication to push the brand away from trying to recruit entry level buyers, a sector where there is a lot of competition. New management has taken a smarter approach to realizing the potential of the business.”

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.

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.

Today those fuels are still offered at gas stations and the government forces gas producers to mix it into the gasoline (heavily jeopardizing the overall gasoline quality). Other than that, there is an equation that gas stations put up showing when its better to buy biofuels than gasoline. I never seen the equation pointing towards them.

To do that we need to be capturing the full benefit of the automation. How do we do that? By figuring out a way to get profits to flow back to people, workers, or anywhere that not purely the board of directors of that company. Yes they made the smart decisions and provided critical guidance to get that company and industry to where it is, but them buying a 4th, 5th, and 6th really silos the benefits of automation.

On these lines, I was driving my son’s roadworthy, licenced and MOT’d but very scruffy car near my home and got pulled over by a rude aggressive arrogant wanker who strutted round and round the car trying to find fault, examined all my documents to try and find fault and eventually gave up and ‘let me off with a warning’ for nothing!

But despite his skill at the venue, Stewart famously dubbed the Nrburgring Nordschleife which snakes its way through verdant woodland “the Green Hell”, a place that you only felt good about when “you were a long way away, curled up at home in front of a warm fire on a long winter’s night”.

We really need to be able to have an adult able to ride in the back as we have a foreign exchange student living with us who needs to be able to come along for family outings and also have found from experience that having an adult in the back with baby to sooth, give a bottle/binky etc is essential to making longer car trips tolerable/comfortable (which we take often).

Has the EGR valve been modified. Has the DPF been removed or bypassed.If it lowered, walk away. Has the Timing Belt been replaced and when.TBF, if you lasted this long in a 05 Megane and haven despaired at the faults with that car, an E90 is a nice car. Go simple though.

Set up your Sync accountThe first and most important thing you need to do to utilize all the Sync services is set up your Sync account on your computer. You will be asked to name your vehicle and to select the dashboard layout of your vehicle. From your Sync account screen, you can then view your vehicle health report which you have generated from the vehicle itself. Other features you can customize from your Sync account screen include your favorites (specific stock quotes, sports teams, news headlines, horoscopes, etc. You can also set up saved points in your driving and directions list. A few of my saved points include my home address and some of my friends and family addresses. Although I do typically know how to get to my home address and those friends and family members addresses, I may be in an unfamiliar place and need to be directed back to those locations.

But it is the post 1969 bikes, built after BMW moved motorcycle production from Munich to Spandau in West Berlin, that are attracting both touring riders and collectors. “Before the move to Spandau, BMW motorcycles were expensive to produce and not sold all over the world. Each bike was assembled by an individual engineer, asystem that was not financially viable andalmost bankrupted the company,” explains Peter Ardron, chairman of the UK based BMW Airhead Fellowship. “But production changed completely after that, because the plant shifted to more efficient build methods while retaining the existing standards of quality. That’s when BMW Motorrad really took off.”Ardron cites the R90S as one of the most sought after classic models, around 17,500 examples of which were built from 1973 to 1976. Featuring an 898cc engine producing 67bhp, a small “bikini” fairing and a neat “ducktail” seat, the bike had a top speed of 125mph, effortless cruising ability and distinctive looks, thanks to its “smoke effect” paintwork insilver grey or Daytona orange.

Hardware Make sure the glides are of a good quality and are soft close (a standard these days). Ask your retailer how they handle requests for broken glides and hardware a year or years down the road. As for hinges, are they self closing? Are they of good quality? The hinge on your door actuates a lot in the course of its life, and you do not want to be constantly adjusting the hinges or replacing them.

We thought about a crossover too but when you need as much room as I do, the size of crossovers becomes deceptive and you don get the cabin passenger space of a large sedan in a CUV until you start looking at the really big ones and my wife didn want something that big. The big sedans are also a bargain right now because no one wants them there more than a few pretty nice models to choose from and you can get killer deals on 1 3 year old models with hardly any miles on them.

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.

Backstory on how this huge post was conceived. I was initially researching the history of Mazda participation in Le Mans as part of a secret project for YouTube that didn pan out. One of the main points that I was about to look into is why the Rotary engine was “banned” (Spoilers: it wasn “banned”).

The Kurdish Peshmerga fighter decided to invest in an armored car, but he had little clue the vehicle would end up saving the lives of dozens of people.After shopping around, he settled on a bulletproof BMW, and paid $10,000 for the early 1990s model at a car auction.”My friends were very happy when I bought the armored car,” he tells CNN. “We started driving in it to the front line near Kirkuk, not worried about ISIS drive by shootings or roadside bombs.”Abdulrahman, 32, lives with his wife and four children in Taza Khurmatou, some 23 kilometers south of Kirkuk.On October 21, dozens of ISIS militants carried out a coordinated series of attacks on the oil rich city, targeting security forces and civilians in several neighborhoods; 64 died and 86 ISIS militants were killed.More than 100 civilians and security personnel were wounded; many of them were left stranded because of ISIS militants’ indiscriminate firing, while others were trapped by the terror group’s snipers shooting from rooftops.ISIS sniper fireAbdulrahman knew he had to act.”I told myself, this is the right time to help people, this is the right moment to do it. I am a fighter and I have a bulletproof car, shame on me if I can’t help,” he says.

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.

Starting from 2019 there are special regulations for lane changes in the EU. A BMW lane Chance assistant was deployed in the 5 series and X3 which is on par with the Tesla system, performance wise. With the X5 this system isn available in the EU anymore (only US and China).

It’s hard to deal with comments, but try to have some compassion that you have not been shown by them. It’s really hard to be struggling when you do work a decent paid job. When the economy gets bad, many people turn on what they see as physical manifestations of what is being taken out of their pockets.

I need REAL advice/suggestions on a carseat for our first LO. I though that after months of research we’d found our perfect infant seat. The Britax Chaperone. but two things now force us to regroup: 1 its the only seat that Britax now makes in China ( though we will still go with the Boulevard for our next seat, since its super safe 100% made in the US, but too big for an infant )

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.

Can I just roll on the throttle earlier?It going to be interesting to see how much I can improve in a short amount of time just being aware I driving a RWD and not a FWD!Going in for another training session! Thank you!Turned out, TC did a world of difference! I really thought I had remembered to turn that off before.Anyway, I saw an immediate improvement (after the 3 4 slower laps getting used to the handling).

Type of thing happens all the time, I found it happens a lot less at 10k behavior. However, regular toxic players still exist at 10k, or rather people who are just generally negative, but it seems like they intentionally throw less and abandon less. I even a little bit toxic when I start to lose but I don talk shit, I do happily point out obvious mistakes like maybe hit more than 1 with Echo Slam pepega sometimes get snow flaky, if you queue off lane and rage when your pos4 leaves the lane to gank mid and you feed, you a fuck, and if you pos5 and get bitchy when asked for wards you a fuck too.

Competition success quickly followed, with now legendary drivers such as Derek Bell, James Hunt, JackyIckx and Niki Lauda all racing Alpina tuned BMWs to victory in events between 1968 and 1973. But in 1983 it becamean official manufacturer that owners couldcommission to modify their cars to Alpina specification an expensive business, since it involveddiscarding standard engines, gearboxes, suspension units and wheels in order to replace them with theenhanced components.

Took the CarPlay option for 3 years but it is not good value for money, meaning for my next car I will not buy it and stick with the default connected drive ui.There are some finicky UI issues: when using the buttons in the car to go to CarPlay menus or screens it will just go to the active CarPlay screen depending on your location.

Starting in 1981 there’s the DeLorean DMC 12, which was pretty much a classic the moment it came off the line. Then in the mid 1980’s there’s the Buick Grand National (and even better the Grand National GNX). A black muscle car from Buick that is sure to be desirable well into the future.

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?

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!

First, press the “learn” button on the back of your garage door opener mounted on the ceiling. (The learn button, located on the back of your machine, will be square if using a Liftmaster machine. Craftsman, Liftmaster, Chamberlain are all the same. Their learn buttons are square and usually yellow, red/orange, or purple. If using a Genie, the button says “learn button.”) The single press of this button should be brief and firm. Do not hold this button down. If you do, it erases all of the programming in the machine and you’ll have to re program all the remote controls that you have, and that’s not a fun process.

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.

It virtually impossible due to the electric drivetrain to make an EV version of an ICE model and make the car desirable for the old reasons. The lineup has to be created again and would have to appeal at each price point for new reasons. Acceleration vs top speed, energy efficiency versus track performance, charge speed versus refueling, they can be electric versions of the gas cars. The cars need to appeal to EV people and they will appreciate the longer range for a less luxurious interior. To them the technology is the new luxury, not the wood trims, leather and many buttons. The drivetrain also allows more interior space for a given wheel base that usually determines segments of the market. The rules are different.

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.

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

He’s also looking at getting a RWD BMW diesel to use as long as there is no snow on the ground. Unfortunately we can’t keep the Jetta as it’s dirty diesel and a few weeks ago gave him an asthma attack that sent him to the hospital in an ambulance and he missed two days of work.

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 the name of the game. They did their best to make it competitive, and have been on several occassions, even in its first season. Besides, when they first unveiled the car they sought to make some aero changes to make the car more low slung, and a (yet unnamed to my knowledge) competing manufacturer at the negotiating table vetoed their ability to make such a major change to the car at such a late stage, setting them (their words) 6 months behind in the development curve.

It’s not too badly priced, either. The basic kit starts at 16,000, but you will, of course, need to spend a lot more to get those kind of figures. Some people say you should invest about 60,000 in a new Ultima, and like the Factory Five Racing GTM, carbon brakes would be a nice addition.

5. Lexus LFAOkay, so it might not be the cheapest compact supercar around, but it definitely has been the most striking in recent times, especially when one realizes that this is a car which took almost 9 years to produce since it was conceptualized and that the company which made it was known for its stylish and clinical looking family cars.

The circuit that will be used for July’s grand prix was opened in 1984 and measures a more manageable 5.1km. Some have deemed it “dull”, but these are mostly people who haven’t had the experience of racing on it. Virtually any racetrack seems on the mild side compared with the Nordschleife, which forms the major part of the original Nrburgring as it was inaugurated in 1927.

Absolutely, we are in a totally difference place now or we wouldn even be considering the BMW DH had a large increase in income and we 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 bought a home.

If you aren an asshole all the time, and are generally positive and a friendly player who doesn tilt and tries his best, reports do not matter for you. I have between a 9 10K behavior score at all times and when I have a bad game and make too many mistakes and my team decides that it my fault and I need to be reported, I couldn care any less.
