Swanky.

Thank goodness it's not one of the hot vee veeeights. Those are a nightmare long term. So many tiny nearly inaccessible plastic coolant fittings in very hot places that leak.

RIP:

The past 3 days were quite enjoyable. Bikes, rock, and lots of "fun"......

F30 340i. Loving it so far. 

Best non individual colour too

I wanted an F31 to replace my M240i but the mrs wouldnt let me spend that much again 

[IKnight]

Welp, I finally bought a car! OG 9-3 coupe, with a 2.0t, 185bhp engine, not too much rust, and 310,000km on clock. Cheap as chips!

Can't wait to hear how you also blew it up

 

[Beerzerker]

Had planned on doing some work on it today....
Some front-end work and fixing a power steering leak....



But when this happened I was like "Nah, I'll wait".
I think I made the right call here.

Kind of feeling like doing another roadtrip to a far away land 

 

I’ve done Colorado, Montana, southern and Northern California, Florida(key west), Tennessee/North Carolina (multiple times)

 

thinking maybe east coast as I’m a bit lacking there, but that’s all big cities and I kind of hate big cities

 

or somewhere or the Dakotas? @Real_PhillBert (I think you’re near there?) is that worth it? Thinking badlands but not really sure what else I should see there lol 

[Beerzerker]

Niagra Falls isn't a bad destination BUT do be warned if you go, while on the Canadian side to have your own water/drink with you before you cross over.

It was cheap enough to where even if it violently explodes, I won't be out much money haha.

Yeah Estoril is probably my favourite F3x non individual colour after maybe Snapper Rocks, and then only in bright sunlight.

Good memory, I live in Fargo ND.

 

Honestly all the interesting stuff in ND/SD is on the western edge in the badlands area. That area is super cool, the rest of ND/SD is pretty unexciting if I'm honest. 

 

The badlands has a ton of awesome hiking and camping places, so if you're into that, it's great.

I gotcha.

Depending on what you want to see/do...the western part of NY is very pretty

There is always Centralia PA....

I'm not an expert on exhaust systems, but that looks like a real hack job guaranteed to cause backpressure.

20 bucks says that things a max 200bhp shitbox which would be fine with a 1.5 inch all the way thru. I doubt backpressure would be much of a problem, if any...

I dunno, I see leaf springs and a propshaft...a truck of some sort I think?

[TVwazhere]

Fun fact, tempered glass explodes when you bring it from a (relatively) cold garage and put it directly facing the sun. It wasn't even a day that breached over 70, and at 9am with all the windows cracked there was no heat in the car

Also fun fact: $0 deductible on glass is great

Ouch, you'll be finding glass for days. Worst I get is my old Mazda will stall when I exit the warm car wash into the cold winter air.
