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

I'm with you there man... I lived overseas (Lebanon) and our "domestic" cars there are BMW's and Mercedes Benz... I lived there for college and my dad bought me a 87 316 bmw (same as the white on in the picture but germen spec... so it didn't have big medal bumpers like that) and I fell inlove... it was a rust bucket was a trooper and hugged corners like no other! I've since owned 3 other BMW's and NOTHING compares to my first car... I will one day buy my first car again :)

As a mk4 Bora (sedan golf)  They're really enjoyable, makes a great first car I think.  I only wish mine had a turbo.

You're in the twin cities, right?

My ST was supposed to leave there this morning. How is it? I've been keeping an eye on the radar.

EDIT: Literally seconds after I posted this the dealer called me to say they pushed back picking up the car until Thursday morning.
