He was recovering from gall bladder surgery when he suffered a heart arrhythmia and passed away suddenly in 1987 (perhaps the fears of hospitals were a premonition)? He left money and art to his family, but donated the rest of his belongings to the advancement of the visual arts. The Andy Warhol Foundation, opened by his brothers the same year as Warhol’s passing, “is primarily focused on supporting work of a challenging and experimental nature.” This Foundation is one of the largest organizations to give grants to new artists who wish to experiment in new media in the United States.

Not everyone is willing to do this. If you not a DIY there not really any way to own an agog BMW inexpensively unless you get extremely lucky. It a game of odds, maybe one in one hundred 3 series are as reliable as your average Lexus IS 350. I much more comfortable rolling the dice on a Lexus.

I’d avoid the AD dealership at all costs, cars might have longer warranty and service contracts / more options but service is garbage; they will up sell you random stuff and not take responsibility for their own mistakes. I own a BMW in Abu Dhabi fwiw and trust me with these high performance cars, you’ll want that extended warranty and service contract. PM me if you have any other questions.

Gas Trips The money spent at gas stations. This includes gas expenses, air freshners, filling air. Now, these expenses are hard to track and I used mint to pull the information. The money spent at gas station might have been spent on chips and gum as well, and there is no way for me to know now. And so while the gas trip number may not be exact, but it is pretty close. I always use Premium 93 grade.

The America’s Cup has always been an expensive trophy to compete for but it has rarely been fair. If you win the Cup you host the next event and, to a large extent, control the rules once a challenger comes along and throws down the gauntlet. When they do, and there is no fixed time frame in which they have to do so or when the next America’s Cup match will take place, it is up to the defending yacht club and that of the challenger to agree the terms, venue and dates for the next event. But since 1983, when the Australians won the Cup and ended the Americans’ dominance which had lasted since 1851, the longest winning streak in sporting history international interest in winning the historic trophy surged. Unfortunately, in the scramble to become a challenger and help form the rules for the next Cup, some yacht clubs allowed themselves to accept one sided terms from the defender.

Then, after following the instructions from the manual, you press the button for the garage door to go up… and nothing happens. Did you miss a step? Read on to learn about what most instruction manuals leave out: the step of programming the car/truck/van to the garage door machine itself.

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.

Here is the interesting part I have paid $21000 for a car and another $18000 for repairs, insurance, maintenance, registration etc. I am quite blown away by this number. Is this normal for a car? Or can I chalk this up to the joys of owning a German car?

I genuinely enjoy driving it more than my V8 powered beast. I never thought I say that, but there it is.The i3 is a blast to drive. RWD, 170 horses, all the torque available any time you push it. It turns heads, you can park it on a postage stamp, you can turn a circle inside a tiny two lane road without doing a 3 point.

We really need to be able to have an adult able to ride in the back as we have a foreign exchange student living with us who needs to be able to come along for family outings and also have found from experience that having an adult in the back with baby to sooth, give a bottle/binky etc is essential to making longer car trips tolerable/comfortable (which we take often).

John Murphy, an analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, is bullish on Ferrari stock with a buy rating and a $150 price target. He said the Icona series cars (the Monza SP1 and SP2), as well as the other 15 all new or redesigned models that Ferrari announced as part of its 2018 2022 business plan, will help broaden the product lineup and boost revenue.

November 23 2017EmailTwitterPinterestFacebookMartina Starke is happy. She has created beauty. “A great car has to look beautiful on the road,” she says. BMW’s head of brand vision and brand design has led the team behind the concept car for the new BMW Concept 8 Series a car that displays its lineage, and is at the same time boldly new. What it evinces most spectacularly is how to make a machine that has dynamism, while achieving a sumptuous degree of luxury and style. “The dynamic look comes from the form language,” she says. “You want a car that speaks to you directly when you see it for the first time.”

I bought the Peugeot because it was within my price range and is a soft top. Since I cannot afford to buy a bike and all the paraphernalia that goes with it at this time, I figured that a convertible would at least give me some of the fun factor back.

2) Elizabeth Warren. She Batman if Harris is Superman. She brilliant and nuanced and could eloquently make her point in a wise educator kind of way but also toggle passion and came off very charming as well. Also lots of detailed solution proposals across a wide variety of topics and none of them anchor positions.

About a week ago I lost my card for food stamps. Got a new one. Cleaned my car, found my old one. Sooo today I went to the grocery store. I went to pay and realized I had my old card. The guy was so rude to me when I came back. I hate how much people change from when you walk up, to when you swipe your card. When I was married it was hard to see such a high percentage of our checks being devoured by insurance and taxes. I hear people talk about the same thing with the young women, how do they do that? In NC, I really don’t think it is possible but that women you were talking about is the stereotype everyone imagens when GA is diccused.

Yesterday, when he was in the passenger seat with me driving, he said, “Mum, you turn quickly to the left and I’ll put the hand brake on.’ This didn’t happen, obviously, but is a guide to his immaturity.Even on private land (which to my knowledge is not illegal) I’m not sure I would want him driving my car right now.

Your Guide to Getting Your Vehicle on the Road in GermanyThe third item on my bucket list when I landed in Germany, immediately after finding a food source and securing shelter, was getting the means to exploit the autobahn to its full potential. Well, maybe that is an exaggeration, because one would need a Ferrari to accomplish that. A fair clarification of that statement would be: I intended to find something that moved me from A to B with four wheels, would accelerate with fuel in the tank and resembled a car to a sufficient degree as not to attract the attention of the Polizei.

Last week, BMW unveiled plans to increase the production capacity at its Pretoria based Rosslyn plant, the company’s first production facility outside Germany, built in 1973. The move is expected to enable BMW to double its exports from the country Donauer says that 80% of the cars produced at the plant are exported to countries across the world.

I would have hoped would obvious by now why I am focusing on this. Because this is the dt and this is a topic that I find somewhat interesting and thought would make a descent discussion here. As I’ve said, IRL, I have noticed a correlation between some people who buy status symbols and there level of pretention.

For this reason, I only use my US cards for all transactions (no FX fees and FX rate is fixed). You just need to make sure that you don’t get DCC’ed by the merchant on Visa / Mastercard transactions. This means I get 3 points per dollar on all food and travel spend and 5 points on air tickets. Given I value each point at more than a penny this implies a return of more than 3% and is superior to all cards here.

These bikes are extremely rare today. This was the first motorcycle made under the BMW name. It was the beginning of the legendary boxer twin engine and shaft drive layout that is still going strong on BMW’s today. These bikes were only made from 1923 1926, so there are very few people living that have had the pleasure of riding one. The bike was fairly advanced for its day using a wet sump lubrication system while most others had the archaic total loss system still in place. It had a rather large for the time 486cc engine that put out 8.5 hp, which may not sound like much, 바카라사이트 but was good enough for 59 mph and 78 mpg.

3) No mindless, pro Elon “Tesla will rule the world” fandom. You are free to believe Tesla will in fact make millions of cars each year and dominate the industry. Actually, we encourage such beliefs to be discussed as it provides a nice balance and perspective against our admittedly skeptical slant. But if you want to gush over the greatness of Elon, perhaps r/ElonMusk is better for you.

Convenient that only the ones that you say are reputable just happen to prove your point. You even posted a CNBC article, which I thought was the equivalent of a four letter word on this sub. Even Bjorn doesn consider the model 3 a luxury car. If the S is lacking luxury features, how is the stripped down model 3 going to be luxury?

Concepts like that should be easy for anyone who had a job to see. Just look at the efficiencies at your workplace and calculate how much time is wasted. Now apply that to the entire economy and see why our problems are not solvable by a one sentence economics strategies pushed by basically every candidate ever.

1) Kamala Harris. She showed off she can easily win fights for her positions against the old guard. She sharp, smart, and suave and didn take any positions that would anchor her but still had more than enough concrete solution proposals across a wide variety of issues and was able to communicate them well. I think her biggest weak point is her checkered history as CA AG, but I think she more than well showed that she can defend her points.

If anything I say get an E90 or E92 if you really want one but know that a lot of them probably will have been hooned in and not as reliable. Also don count your chickens before they hatch. Save up an emergency fund and all that and then work on getting a car.

Also, 50% utilization on a CC isn helping your credit score (credit utilization is factored into your score, even if you paying it off every month). 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

“None are 1 or even used that often” this is basically impossible. Because there are only 3 CVs and no rentals, the weighted average win rate of all 3 must be 50%. If Haku had a 57% win rate, Midway and Audacious would have to have win rates in the low to mid 40s.

However, before you set your sights on imported RTA cabinets, it’s important to realize what you are getting. Among brands, there are several different construction methods, vast differences in finish and wood quality, and overall selection. While you might save some money, you may also find that the sacrifices you need to make may not be worth it.

Would you let a 12 year old drive your car?Jump to Last Post 1 15 of 15 discussions (32 posts)My 12 year old recently went on a camping trip with some of his dads friends. While on this ‘camping’ trip the following happened. The old ladys grand daughter was ‘upset’ so the woman gave her car keys to my son and told him to take her grand daughter for a drive.

My real advice though: It doesn sound like you much of a car person, or really into cars all that much. Will the BMW really bring you enough joy to justify the expense? At 27 with that income you are in your absolute prime years for stashing cash away for retirement and building up savings for a down payment on a house. Get a 2014 economy car for 10 15k that will last you another 10 years while saving like crazy.

I say this as a former car dealer that it really just depends on the situation. If I were young and single and didn have a family, I would buy with the intention of fixing anything myself. However, if I had a family and kids and whatnot, the convenience of not worrying about repairs would tip the scales in the favor of the lease, even if it is slightly more expensive.

In 1984, Toyota brought out the surprising MR 2, which was very different from the practical and uninteresting family sedans that made the manufacturer successful. The first generation (1984 1989) was extremely lightweight and featured, like all generations to follow, an MR (mid engine rear wheel drive) layout more commonly found on supercars such as the Ferrari F355 and Lamborghini Countach. The combination of lightweight chassis and perfect front rear weight distribution via the mid engine layout resulted in a car that handled like a champ and didn’t need a huge engine to provide sufficient performance. The 1.6 L inline 4 only produced 112 hp but could hit 60 mph in just over eight seconds.

I’ve been driving for almost 20 years accident free. That translates to about 7,300 days of driving genius, with a substantial dose of switching to different sides of the road as I changed continents. So I take a measure of pride in my safe driving record, especially considering some of the places I have driven in. Not surprisingly, the German registration rules required me to obtain my own third party insurance from a German based insurer before my car registration would be processed. But imagine my surprise when I learned that no German insurer would recognise my driving record. Despite going to every major insurer in Germany, the answer was always the same: We do not accept insurance records outside of the European economic area. With no way to verify my insurance history, the quotes I received were sky high almost 30% of the vehicle’s value annually and all of that money for just third party insurance coverage. I was beyond words. The bureaucratic machine had busted me down to an 18 year old, albeit without the youth to match.
