You need to have it wired into your garage (since you need a high power 240v outlet), and you need a charger to go with that outlet. Usually costs $300 $800 to run the wiring depending on how far your garage is from the electrical box (but it can get much much higher if you need to upgrade your whole electrical box/service to handle the extra power).

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.

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.

My asset situation is i have about 11k in my 401k, about 7k in checking and 25k in savings that im specifically using for a down payment on a house. (hasnt happened yet because property prices keep going up and i dont know if im ready to own my own place yet).

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

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

Your Guide to Getting Your Vehicle on the Road in GermanyThe third item on my bucket list when I landed in Germany, immediately after finding a food source and securing shelter, was getting the means to exploit the autobahn to its full potential. Well, maybe that is an exaggeration, because one would need a Ferrari to accomplish that. A fair clarification of that statement would be: I intended to find something that moved me from A to B with four wheels, would accelerate with fuel in the tank and resembled a car to a sufficient degree as not to attract the attention of the Polizei.

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.

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.

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

The Engine Control Module measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust system via the oxygen sensors and makes adjustments by adding more or less fuel to the mixture. When the adjustments become too large to maintain the proper mixture, the fault codes P0171 and P0174 are logged. They are logged together, since in V8 and V6 (and more rarely in some 4 cylinder and straight 6 cylinder cars) the cylinders are split into two separate groups, or banks.

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

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 온라인카지노 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.

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

9. SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle)Sport utility vehicles are large cars that are fitted on a small, truck like chassis. SUVs are especially designed for off road drives and are commonly fitted with 4 doors. These cars have high ground clearance, comparatively large tyres, extreme power, high load carrying ability and plenty of room for seating. Some SUVs come with 4 wheel drive, whereas some with only 2 wheel drive.

At this stage in 2007, it was potential challenger BMW Oracle Racing and its club the Golden Gate Yacht Club (GGYC) who were the most vocal in their objection to the terms for the next event. Faced with what they believed was intransigence on the part of the Swiss and the Spanish, they wielded a big stick by suggesting that the Spanish challenge was invalid. The defenders refused to back down and the dispute went to court, where a ruling was issued in favour of the challengers, BMW Oracle and the GGYC.

I don know how much on average you are spending on your Tahoe a month in repairs/maintenance, but from what I can tell, everything costs more on a BMW. I take a look at some average maintenance costs owners pay on BMWs per year, compare them to your maintenance cost on your Chevy, then add that to your monthly cost. My guess is that add around $200/month on average. If you are okay spending an additional portion of your disposable income on a car instead of other things like vacations, dining out, etc, then go for it.

Even in traditional American motor companies such as Ford, they are using turbochargers and other lighter but strong materials to produce the more power and efficiency with less engine and therefore less fuel consumption. (For an example, look into the new 2015 mustang. Ford offers the car with an Eco boost Turbo charged I 4 engine, a traditional v 6, and a 5.0 liter v8.) Note the similarity between the 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder versions.

Another that can be considered is the heater core. Usually if that is the case then the floor carpet will be getting damp or wet on the passenger side. An intake manifold leak results with water in the oil pan. One trick as a partial check for that is to look at the dip stick. If the oil is a muddy brown there is a chance there is water in the oil.

4 years ago I discovered Bogleheads and since then, I’ve followed the 3 fund passive index funds approach and turned all my attention to improving in my professional space. It turns my stomach thinking back how much more savings I would have today if had cashed out at the top or even if I just stuck to 3 fund index investing from the beginning. Today I still have over $100k in carried over cap losses I been writing off in my tax returns $3k at a time for many more years to come and I consider that tuition from the school of hard knocks and reminders of my hubris.

My take on it? “Productive” to me simply means that everyone can do whatever they want to do, and that with that freedom ideally overall society will be more productive. Maybe there are less engineers than we want, but the ones that choose to be engineers are inspired and creative. Maybe there are more artists than we need and we can really understand their contribution, but hopefully they can contribute in their own way.

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

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

Yeah that ridiculous. The scary thing to me throughout the whole process is that it seems like they really have no power to deviate from the rules. Months ago they could change the tires before they sell you the car or give you the paint change for free, now they can even do that. Multiple cars floated by me that matched everything I wanted, but had sport wheels instead of Aero.

Sorry again for the ranty initial comment there and thanks for the quick reply. I think my career choice is partially to blame precision torque specs and other adjustment/alignment values have been drilled into my head for a long time. While I get the idea of monkey tight not gorilla tight, I a mechanic by trade so generally have pretty high hand strength and my idea of something being monkey tight could be someone else idea of gorilla tight just ask my wife about that when it comes to jar or drink bottle lids lol.

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.

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

Shut the doors on those and its like a bank vault. Engines can for for 300K plus as long as you do routine services. They come in 6 and 8 cylinders. If you want to go Japanese the early 90’s LS400 from Lexus is another car that was over engineered since they were made to compete with the Germans.

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