Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Ok, here's a fucking bargain.

 

image.png.4d9685c78b6fce9bf6d472a8d27dc26c.png

 

It's a 320i, comes with everything M3 (almost). M3 wheels, M3 mirrors, M3 suspension, M-Tech body kit, Supersprint exhaust (and an Alpina steering wheel). And it costs less than a 318is (coupe vs touring, but still, I love my wagons, especially RWD).

 

I doubt my parents would let me buy something like this tho. They don't want me driving a fucking wagon, and putting it in the garage wouldn't be easy. But it's such a nice deal... fml

I wouldn't say it's insurance by the mile per se, but risk accumulation over mileage.

Basically the only way i could get insured as im only 18 and passed my test in february is by having a blackbox fitted that monitors my driving. When you go to get a price you get asked estimated yearly mileage which is what they class as how much you can have which I think is bullshit

I would absolutely hate to drive every day knowing they're tracking my every move.

Well that settles it. I'm mothballing the Camaro until spring. 

Came out to find a big ass ball of icy snow right on the windscreen and the snow was brushed against pretty much all over the car. 

And people wonder why i hate living in the city. Fucking assholes can't keep their hands to themselves.
