However, there is a firm that does such things as a matter of course, that finishes every car by hand and, during its 52 year history, has seldom produced more than 1,500 vehicles in any 12 month period. And, with allocations to any particular market never exceeding thelow hundreds, the chances of another of these cars pulling up beside yours are extremely small.

Tbh, if I were to move back in to Boston, I’d buy a BMW 310r and bike in and out to work. Maybe sell your Nissan for that for spring autumn. Then you can save miles and wear and tear on the X5 and make it last way longer and save yourself the headache. In a big car Boston is a night mare. On a bike? It’s fun and easy to park and since Boston is 90% slow moving traffic the risk of bike accidents goes down Astronomically vs a fast moving city like Austin or Indianapolis. And you’ll get 55 76 mpg.

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.

My daughter was taught by her friends on such occasions, so we figured we would show jamie ourselves how to drive. that way he is taught right.people out here in the country are too trusting and a lot still leave their keys in the car and house unlocked.Polly Cposted 7 years ago”where i live the kids are known for sneaking around taking people cars out of their driveway and returnin them before anyone wakes up.” that sort of thing doesn’t happen round here so I would never have to worry about it.

I test drove an Audi TT model that was identical to the one I eventually purchased, but in a different color. Like most test drives, this one took about 20 minutes and we drove around the streets closest to the car dealership. I remember thinking about how fun it was and didn’t notice any possible short comings in the car. I had also completed extensive internet research and the consensus of TT owners was “I love my car!”.

OK, it might not use a Lamborghini V12, but it does let you fit a BMW V12! The early 5.0l from the late ’80s can be picked up cheaply and tuned up nicely to 400bhp+, and that will be enough for most! You’ll still need to source your gearbox, but most of the other components to complete this car are available from Parallel Designs, including at 6.0 VT and GT bodies. For a basic car using the Rover V8, expect to pay 25,000 and up and probably another 2000 for the V12 (with better gearbox, brakes and some engine mods.)

For a long time people have put professionals on a pedestal based on nothing more that a title and some credentials. Neither says anything about the kind of person they are. If a professional said a thing was thus and so, it was law and people have operated on professional opinions often to their great determent. Further it is impossible to work with someone else when you have them elevated to some lofty, out of reach position. It makes communicating with them extremely awkward and uncomfortable if not impossible. People who are on pedestals are very hard to get hold of.

In short, promoting hybrids at the price ranges of BMW cars is pretty insulting. It might have made a lot of sense 10 years ago but now it too late to claim the batteries are too expensive for them. Their customers could very well be against EVs but they also failed to promote their offerings to outside buyers that didn care for BMW to begin with. They made no good EV thus the demand is low, they blame the demand being low to justify why EVs aren practical right now. That just insane logic, it only natural for buyers to not be interested in products that are not currently relevant, let alone future proof. Who among i3 buyers feel ready for 350 kW chargers and long distance traveling or highway cruising around the country? Come on now, it just too convenient to blame it on the market being unwilling to adopt, maybe they just don want to be sold obsolete cars that will quickly lose value.

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.

If you charge it home it really depends on what you are replacing it with. Many people trade in hybrids or other eco cars for these, which do not run on premium. The fuel savings are there, if you charge at home, but at current gas prices it isn a huge difference. The difference in tire replacement costs and insurance costs more than make up that difference in fuel savings over a more economical car.

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.

In many ways, it feels like a prototype. If you more like a pioneer, you love this. However that being said, I would recommend buying used with a decent amount of original warranty miles remaining. I don believe my trusty independent BMW shop is able to service so you going to be stuck with the dealer rates and attitudes. In that light, I be careful with the extent of coding on your own just so that you don void a warranty.

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.

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.

Anyway, I not trying to preach to you, because I 온라인카지노 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.

Our newspapers, the internet and our television and radio programming are full of stories about the latest fallen hero who did not live up to our unrealistic expectations of them. We view ourselves as so imperfect that when those who we esteem to be perfect fall we show them no mercy whatsoever. The truth is we all have things that we excel at or have the potential to excel at. We all have certain innate attributes and abilities and our own way of manifesting them in our outer realities. That some of us chose to assign our power away through our reluctance to be known and to take responsibility for what we know is a matter of choice. However, when we do so we also give over control of our own lives and assign it instead to the hero of the moment.

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.

In order to place another above us, we have to consider ourselves as beneath them. While you may respect them or think them worthy of such esteem, in actual fact you are setting your relationship with them up for failure. We hold people that we put on pedestals to a higher standard than we hold ourselves or others. We see them as more than and better than and while this may be true, it is only true in certain areas of their lives and specific arenas that they operate in. In other areas of their lives they have their shortcomings and when you have someone on a pedestal your tendency is to focus only on your own. This has a negative impact on your own sense of self worth and self esteem. You overlook your own attributes, skills and abilities in favour of the other. You cannot effectively work with the other when you are holding yourself back.

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.

People like you make finding a job where you can feel relaxed about what you say, near impossible. It took me 15 years to end up at a place where people like you don exist. And it has been heaven. Now go away where I don have to deal with how excruciatingly fucking dumb you are.

In regards to REx, everything will effect range: temperature, speed, number of passengers, interior cabin heat/cool, wind direction, most recent driving efficiency. in my early i3, I can depart for university (55 miles one way) with a full battery charge showing 95 miles (and the REx usually slightly under this for another 85 miles) and arrive at the destination with battery at 10 miles at >56 mph) when it starts at 6% charge. To solve for this, you have to slow down. On most interstates with posted 70 mph, its not safe to be driving 55. My approach has become to assume that the estimated battery mileage will drop considerably over the trip, by 50%, and so the best plan is to finder a public charger at the turn around point. You can run the REx through its 2 gals, refuel and get another 30 miles, but again this needs to be at much less than 70 mph. When you get home, the REx will be screaming at you, hot, fans blowing.

I wish you luck in overcoming your suicidal thoughts and/or desires. I hope you understand that it not normal to want to die, and that while you may feel like you rationally considering things, the most likely possibility is that you are not, and you owe it to yourself to explore every opportunity to get better. There is hope. Even for me.

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.

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).

Kawasaki would rather stay and dominate WSBK with Rea and the ZX 10R. Also MotoGP is much more expensive to become competitive in than WSBK. If I recall properly, there is a cap on how much work that can be done with their production motorcycles. I think it is 250k? That’s pennies compared to a prototype engine, chassis, and hiring engineering teams for the spec electronics hardware/software.Also considering the funds available for Kawasaki vs Honda, Yamaha, Ducati, Suzuki, etc, Kawasaki HQ sees WSBK domination a better ROI than becoming midpack in MotoGP for more than four times the cost of WSBK.BMW just doesn’t care for racing as much as it’s fellow manufacturers.

The Defender is a great narrow seat for 3 across that’s really budget friendly. Keeps just about every child in a 5 point harness until they are at an appropriate booster age (5 6 years old). My almost 6yo twin sibs are both in Defenders with at least 1 2 years left before they outgrow the harness mode.

I have navigation info projected on the windshield when using the default Gps but not when using CarPlay.You must also understand that from the main os’s POV CarPlay is just a single other screen.Siri integration is okay for basic commands. Maps is okay with updated traffic information.Problem is you can’t use Siri in multiple languages which limit some more advanced features like dictating text in your native language if you want siri in English.

What do you think will happen when competitors to BMW take note and try to outsmart them by using other blockchain services then realize VeChain is already working with BYD, PICC, etc. and have developed far more advanced solutions under the radar? They will put their egos aside and come flocking to collaborate. Win win.

“Emphasising driver orientation geometry means we have clustered the instruments to enhance focus. BMWs are for people who appreciate the feel of a car on the road, the whole actual motoring experience. With this new BMW Concept 8 Series the joy of driving is first and foremost.”Data and surveys inform what we want from our cars now, but they cannot shape and create. Starke’s team studies other designers from outside the automotive world. “Artists are more avant garde,” she thinks, “they see and feel things before others do. I have always been fascinated by both art and design, and my team’s work here brings those two professions together.”

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.
