Kind of just seeing what people think. I figure that i will start a family in about 5 6 years so if im going to have a sick sports car then now is the time. I was always the FI type who was like oh ill never spend money on a car because its a waste blah blah, but if im only spending an extra couple hundred to enjoy myself then why not? gotta live it up every once in awhile.

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.

After hours on the World Wide Web, the cheapest option I could find was a universal 02 sensor for 67.99 at AutoZone. I also came across some posts for VW’s, BMW’s, and Mercs all stating that they were using cheap Ford oxygen sensors, and replacing the harness plug, like you would have to do with the universal 02 sensor anyway. I could not find any documentation on someone using this sensor on an MKIV, but others stated it works great on their MKIII, so for the greater good of mankind I gave it a go.

Don buy a 10 year old BMW/Merc/Audi/Alfa without seriously looking at the enthusiast forums. Specifically look at the faults and repairs stories.A lot of parts are available cheap enough but the electronics are still expensive and if something like an airbag light or ASC module fails, you looking at a big money replacement.

There also Nikon 70 200/2.8 AF S lenses of course, but, of course, they more money too. The 80 200/4 AF S VR is also very good I have that one at work and if you know you never need/want f/2.8, it is worth looking at. The old 80 200/2.8 AF S was very good but they all had motor issues and there were no parts to fix them anymore so unless something changed, I avoid them. There also the 80 200 AF D but that a manual focus lens on your D3500. If you need even more reach, there the 200 500/5.6 VR. I let someone else give you the rundown on the other 3rd party lenses and there all sorts of options if you want to spend a lot of money on lenses.

I had my F30 328d for 1.5 years and 20k miles. No problems related to the engine, but it only just touching 50k miles now, I would hope it could last that long. I wasn interested in the E90 335d because I didn need the power and the fuel economy wasn all that great. I been crazy happy with the fuel economy I gotten so far, my best tank was 52mpg, it was pure highway miles. Around town with mixed driving I get 38 40mpg. I do have alot of sprinter diesel customers with the 3.0 V6 diesel, most of their issues are emissions related and can be very expensive (if they don travel any to Cali, its pretty much mandatory to delete) other then that, the classic throttle petal issues, about $600 to $900 depending on the year, oil issues with over heating (The 3.0 V6 is like the old Jeep 4.0 when it comes to the oil issues, fantastic engine, runs forever, but if it ever goes over 15 20 degrees over its normal operating temperature, there is no forgiveness, that motors done, $9,000 to $14,000 for a new engine) and the timing chain stretching problems.

“We clearly see that there is a growing middle class coming through in Africa and that there is a lot of interest in development and we assume that the middle class as we have seen it in South Africa is growing and there is purchasing power and there is a demand for our cars as well,” he told CNN’s Robyn Curnow.

It’s not too badly priced, either. The basic kit starts at 16,000, but you will, of course, need to spend a lot more to get those kind of figures. Some people say you should invest about 60,000 in a new Ultima, and like the Factory Five Racing GTM, carbon brakes would be a nice addition.

Its also interesting to think that the Prius battery causes more damage to the environment during its creation, than a car does in 10 years of driving. I find it hard to believe we cant do better than this? Power from the spin of the wheels? power from the air gushing over the speeding vehicle, the rain that lands on it, the sun hitting the roof. And they cant use any of that? As you said, we have all these computers. laptops that can run for 7+ hours on a small battery. But our cars. Nope!

Took the CarPlay option for 3 years but it is not good value for money, meaning for my next car I will not buy it and stick with the default connected drive ui.There are some finicky UI issues: when using the buttons in the car to go to CarPlay menus or screens it will just go to the active CarPlay screen depending on your location.

IntroductionBuying your first car can be an exhilarating experience, but it can also be a bit frustrating. Young driving enthusiasts often have a great deal of difficulty finding cars that are both affordable and fun to drive. On top of your budget and the car’s cool factor, its practicality and reliability have to be considered. For example, you can buy a Porsche 944 for less than ten grand, but insuring and keeping the car running will more often than not push the cost of ownership out of range for the average student.

London based fan Peter Simms has owned his 1976 R90S for 30 years, and has ridden it more than 200,000 miles. “I use it virtually every day, which, given its age, bears testament to the superb build quality. I have travelled all over Europe on it and can’t think of a bike, new or old, that could possibly replace it. It’s comfortable, fast, beautifully made and has bags of character.”

Last but not least, yes I get WIC and it is none of anyones business if I attempted to breastfeed. The minute some high and mighty bitch points out that her tax money pays for my baby to eat to my face I’m probably going to jail. But yes my body failed to produce anything but formilk and my son lost almost 2lbs before I gave into formula.

Gas is cheaper in the US, yet cars have way worse MPG. In Europe, it is not uncommon to have a car that does 40 mpg and the propaganda that states that European cars are trash is just not true. A BMW in Europe with a 2.0 L engine has a 4.0 L engine in the US, yet it drives the same. The only difference is the MPG. Of course the fuel is a lot cheaper in the US, but it works out almost the same when you take into account the efficiency. I first became interested in this topic when i bought a 3.5 L Ford Taurus that does 20 mpg. The first time I filled the fuel tank i noticed an advertisement on the inside of the petrol cap. It read “Use BP fuel”.

Do you have a food that you simply can’t live without? A craving that just can’t be met with anything but whatever you favorite food is?I know we can litterally live without alot of things but do you have some food that you just love?What is the thing that you can’t live without it? Why?by judalyn eres 3 years ago

I would be concerned about keeping a nicer car safe being that your beater already got broken in to. I am a sucker for toys of the four wheeled variety, but maybe it would be better to just buy reliable transportation in cash right now and allocate your income to getting your down payment put together to get in to a house (assuming you’re going to continue to live in the area for a while)Car guy here. A civic is nearly as fast (if you not a car person you won notice the acceleration difference), handles better, and has way more luxury features than a 328i. The only two things the 328i has on a Civic is better ride quality and less road noise. If you actually looking for a car that is fun to drive, you can do much, much better for way less money. But seriously, another note on features, the BMW 3 series fully loaded has a serious lack of luxury features compared to all economy brands: Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, and Kia all have more and better features than 3 series BMWs.

I have owned a Mini Cooper for four years. I thoroughly researched the brand before buying it, and I did not want to write an article until I felt experienced and knowledgeable about what vehicle had to offer. This article will cover my experience owning this car. I will go over its pros and cons as well as go over the current models offered by Mini.

They use the 8 series for marketing reasons it the car they want to sell with that program. This has been brought up many times before. What the point in spending millions on a racing program without a plan to get a return on that investment?This is literally what I meant with “Sure, I rather see the M4 as a GTE car but, it completely reasonable why they aren using that.” so not sure what the point.

I don think they expect to sell a lot more BMWs to teens and 20 somethings, this is about creating an attachment to a brand for the future. In 5, 10, 15 years some of today esports audience will have the income to afford a BMW. The auto industry tends to have more brand loyalty and switching is less common, so someone that has the means to get their first “dream” car and picks a BMW is highly likely to buy a BMW again in the future.Another way of looking at it advertising towards a 25 year old potentially creates a customer for the next 50+ years. Advertising towards a 55 year old (that might already have strong brand loyalty elsewhere) only gets you a customer for the next 20+ years.In any case we don know the value of the sponsorship deal or what financial projections this was based on, so it impossible to conclude whether it a good investment.

But there was still more to this Cup of extremes. When the teams’ two boats appeared on the water the sailing public drew breath. Two of the biggest, most advanced multihulls that the sailing world had ever seen suddenly changed the mood among Cup followers. At last, the conversation switched from the frustration of complex court hearings, to that of the prospect of a spectacular battle of two behemoths on the water.

I’ve written hubs like, “Corporate Boards Are Glorified Thieves,” and yes, I know that the word “theifs” is misspelled (hey, even an unskilled political non elite opinion guy like me can be a sucker for a little keyword stuff). Another one I called, “The Jobless Are Not Lazy,” and another one is titled, “Another Example Of An Overpaid CEO,” which is on point about the whole concept of CEO pay, and severence packages which are akin to winning the lottery, but focuses on the exorbitant severence package former HP CEO Mark Hurd enjoyed after resigning his post due to the discovery of falsified expense reports to cover up an affair he had supposedly with a female contractor, and an accusation of sexual harassment.

Answer:If it worked before, it should still work now. Make sure the remote has been learned by the car. Then push and release the learn button on the machine. Go back to the car and push the car’s remote you programmed. If the light bulb on the machine flashes once, it has learned it. Is it possible to program the newer vehicle to a garage door opener without the remote?

Can be expensive. If you want to get multiple options, then the price of this car can skyrocket. With all of the options I wanted, the price of my vehicle jumped by over 30%! Granted, it was worth it, but it made it the most expensive car I have ever owned. So be prepared to spend a lot of money if you want various options to make your car unique.

In 2000, Mitsubishi rolled out the third generation Eclipse. This generation featured more angular styling than the previous generation and did not include any trim levels with a turbocharger or AWD. The suspension was altered to provide a more comfortable ride, and they changed up the engine options. RS/GS Eclipses came with a 2.4 L motor that made 150 hp. The GT came with a 200 hp 3 L V6 while the GTS model carried an improved version of the same V6 that pushed out 210hp. Mitsubishi also made convertible 바카라사이트 versions of the GS, GT, and GTS trims. You can pick up a third generation Eclipse for anywhere from $4,500 $10,00. Again, pricing will depend on mileage, condition, and the used car market in your area.

I not the dude you replying to, but you should know that police reports are often full of exaggerations, hyperbole, and downright falsehoods. The police present their side of the story to make them look as good as possible and justified in their actions. A police report is not admissable as evidence in California and other states as it is considered hearsay.

No government official ‘deserves’ an expensive car. Many Nazis were also just following the rules! (an exaggerated example, but illustrates my point) If you can’t see the problem with purchasing expensive cars for the sake of appearances, with the majority of the country in poverty, you need to open your eyes!

I think there is too much fuss going on about, but since you commented you might as well admit yours kinda was wrong there. You think basketball but there is volleyball, some think tennis but there is ping pong. Making same advance ladders in two different sports and similarsing them (in whatever, prize $, or reward potential) does not guarantee less popular to suddenly become on par with the other.

In stark contrast to the Jaguar, we have the Porsche Cayman R. Porsche is synonymous with motorsports racetrack performance, and that is exactly what the Cayman R is built for. When building the R version of its popular Cayman sports car, Porsche decided to cut weight instead of adding lots of power to achieve the desired performance goals. The Cayman R is the only member of this list under 3,000 pounds and weighs in at more than 1,000 pounds lighter than the XK R. The Cayman and the Jag are perfect foils for each other; the XK R is everything that the Cayman is not, and vice versa. While the Jaguar is immensely powerful and luxurious (aka heavy) the Cayman is underwhelming on the spec sheet (more than 200hp fewer than our winner) but is extremely focused and lightweight. One has only to sit inside the cockpit to know that the R is all about performance. To save weight, Porsche replaced traditional door handles with fabric straps. The sport bucket seats hold the driver in place during hard cornering and save 26 pounds. Air conditioning is an optional extra. On a $60,000 Porsche!

Can he just drive the Subaru all year? We’ve just moved to a snowy area and omg people go on about their Subaru’s. Something about the 50/50 balance of the engine makes them good in snow. Everyone here has awd and I don’t see anyone changing out cars for the season (unless they’re living in much nicer area than I am!).
