Utilising the Chevy platform (Corvette C5 1997 2004), this car needs a few more parts to complete than the other Factory Five kits. If you’re on a budget, you can buy a donor car. If you have a large pile of cash under your bed, how about completely new and upgraded parts and a stock Chevy LS or even the beast that is the Corvette ZR 1 638bhp LS9 engine?

The LVL2 charger also allows for more time in equalization or absorption charge mode once the battery is near full. This is better for the HV battery long term.If you not in the BMW i3 worldwide group on FB its worth your time. There is a ton of information there and it linked to in the sidebar.I hope this explanation was helpful, there are a few generally accepted theories included, but BMW hasn provided a better explanation so most folks agree on them.TLDR: It definitely your 12v battery.

Does anyone have suggestions for good, fuel efficient winter vehicles? And is owning two vehicles worth it for the large amount of fuel savings (keeping in mind we’re in Ontario where gas/diesel is more expensive, although prices haven’tbeen too bad as of late!) We already spend about $600 a month on fuel as it is, we live in a small town and have to drive 40+ min to get anywhere.

What possible really depends on your personal situation. Even so. I wouldn personally buy a 2015 2016 BEV if I frequently did drives longer than 30 miles one way.The i3 BEV is a perfect commuter. If you anything like me, you end up driving it every damn chance you can (even beyond the commuting).

A note on the seats: they are some of the finest seats in all of automobiledom! From a comfort point of view there is zero reason to have any concerns, they are better than the Mercedes/BMW/Audi/VW/Infiniti seats in various cars I owned. From a sporting perspective, there is almost zero lateral support, but it is unlikely that your wife will complain about this

This will minimize the interest you pay and keep your head above water on it should the unexpected happen.Now, whether or not buying the vehicle is “worth it” or not is probably a secondary factor for you. You looking for a luxury/hobby expense, not a transportation necessity. You could get by just fine on a $6000 used car for another 5 years and save a buttload of cash.

Classic carsJump to Last Post 1 9 of 9 discussions (18 posts)I happen to be a guy that has spent his life enjoying classic cars. My desire started at the tender age of 12 with a 1937 Chevy pickup. You see in the state of Montana you can get a drivers license at the age of 12 for daylight hours to drive to school if there are not any school buses.

We are currently a one car family so DH (dear husband) and I have been car browsing for quite a while and recently have been car shopping. We have narrowed it down between a 2017 Jeep Cherokee and 2013 BMW X3. Both have all of the bells and whistles we want, but the Jeep is brand new and about $10k more expensive than the 2013 BMW X3 that we are looking at. We figure that insurance, maintanence,and gas for the Cherokee would be cheaper and it would essentially even out over time anyway. We also plan on keeping this car for DD (dear daughter) to drive in 12ish years so we want something that will last.

Dealership 1 I was on vacation one week and decided to make the two hour drive to test drive a Mini. I arrived at the dealership and felt like I was more of a pain since I wasn’t buying at that time. I was given a short test drive and was sent on my way. That thoroughly discouraged me and I stopped looking for awhile.

To replace the washer fluid pump and/or strainer grommet. If you need to replace a leaking pump, I suggest also replacing the strainer grommet at the same time. It’s cheap and will ensure the seal between the pump and grommet don’t leak later. All told, you’ll need less than $50 worth of parts, which if you’ve ever paid a mechanic or dealer for BMW repairs, you’ll know 바카라사이트 is a relatively cheap repair.

Then enters the ATS, It had 1 owner who put less than 10k miles on it per year and was everything seemed basically brand new. It was in a much better condition, had way more tech, AND it was a few thousand dollars cheaper than the BMW, it was a no brainer. These are the types of cars that I love to buy because they are such a steal on the pre owned market. Now, buying these brand new is a different story but I never do such a thing with most vehicles.

To make a phone call while the vehicle is not in motion, either press the phone button on the dash or on the steering wheel and browse your phonebook or call history using the vehicle’s dash screen. Select the person you wish to call and press the “play” button on the dash. The screen will show the person’s name and phone number category (home, mobile, work, etc.). Press the “play” button again to verify that is the person you indeed wish to call. The dash screen will show “dialing so and so”. When the call is connected, you may talk to the individual using a small microphone imbedded above the driver’s head. You will hear your party through the vehicle’s speakers.

Obviously they woud say that it was a big setback so they can “blame” most things for it if the development would have gone wrong. As would do any other manufacturer. About the factory mindset, what the point in using MTEK for developing the car when BMW have Team Schnitzer that is a much more experienced, proven team in both car developing and endurance racing? What the point in leaving the WEC after just one season, when the road car isn even ready.

1 is honestly going to be a tough one. There were comments on the LA Times article to the effect of “he wasn winning prize money, so why does anyone care?” People who don competitively do amateur endurance sports really have no idea how much it does matter to those of us who do them.

The BMW Concept 8 Series is a two door coup, bigger, wider, lower. “Our aim was to make it sportier than ever before, more dynamic,” says van Hooydonk,”hence the new ‘fast back’ roof profile. That sets it apart from our heritage cars. Always we think of what the brand needs tomorrow. Innovation comes from art, industrial design, travelling, talking to people. Our history is rich, and we are always trying to make it richer.”

The circuit that will be used for July’s grand prix was opened in 1984 and measures a more manageable 5.1km. Some have deemed it “dull”, but these are mostly people who haven’t had the experience of racing on it. Virtually any racetrack seems on the mild side compared with the Nordschleife, which forms the major part of the original Nrburgring as it was inaugurated in 1927.

Tools for the JobMost of these tools are pretty common in a toolbox. The only ones that I would recommend buying are 1) the 02 sensor socket, part 95045 at Harbor Freight for $7.99 (use the 20% coupon and free flashlight coupon in the paper to get your money’s worth) and 2) a wire stripper; sorry, no tips as where to get that cheap. If you don’t want to use the 02 sensor socket, you can take off the heat shield, held on by five 6 mm Allen head bolts (and one 4 mm I believe), which will give you enough room to work an adjustable wrench down there.

Sorry about the rant, just a little pissed off about people running their mouth. As high and mighty as some of these women are I would hate to see them have a rough time financialy. I don’t think they could do what half of us single parents do. Its not easy and I just don’t understand how anyone could ‘live’ off GA.

So she dropped out of college to move to New York and become a dancer. She was raped in Central Park soon after her arrival, but is a survivor. It may be difficult for younger women to understand that until the last thirty years or so, the music industry was dominated by men. So the popular women artists of today owe Madonna and her generation their gratitude for breaking the barriers. She had never even been on a plane before she left Michigan, but learned about dancing in New York, and then played in a few rock groups.

You already have a head start with no cc or student loan debt, so stay ahead of game. Also build up a rainy day, emergency fund of liquid investments, you never know when you will get sick/ loose a job. Besides that, buying a 45 65k car on an 80k salary would not be advisable unless OP had significant savings.

Using your mp3 playerYou can use the Sync system to voice or dash operate your mp3 player if you have the mp3 player plugged into the vehicle’s USB port. I use an iPod Touch in my car but I’m sure nearly all of Apple’s iPod products will work. There is a list of compatible mp3 players on the Sync website.

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.

As we had owned a Honda Civic that we got 210,000 mi. out of, and drove for free for 11 yrs., and after just purchasing another one for my wife, which she loves, I felt that I had to investigate the Fit, and compare it to other, similar types of vehicles.

Yeah that ridiculous. The scary thing to me throughout the whole process is that it seems like they really have no power to deviate from the rules. Months ago they could change the tires before they sell you the car or give you the paint change for free, now they can even do that. Multiple cars floated by me that matched everything I wanted, but had sport wheels instead of Aero.

Anyway, having established the connection between BMW and VerifyCar, the second part of the image includes a tweet from a VeChain VP talking about how VeChain reps were showcasing VerifyCar to BMW. The tweet is from October, but regardless I think the point was to use the BMWBLOG text to corroborate what VeChain had been saying all along. In other words, they are using the first part of the image to lend credibility to the second.

The battered British Prime Minister Theresa May, on the other hand, is working towards a postponement of the Brexit and wants to rule out an EU withdrawal without an agreement a so called hard Brexit in any case, British media report. In this way she wants to keep the reins of action in the face of resistance in parliament and in her own government in her hands.

Want to read your engine fault codes on your own? Most modern cars have Engine Control Unit (ECU) computers that monitor engine functioning, and you can connect to the computer through a standardized port called an OBD II (OBD2) port. First, determine if your car has an ODB II port, get a OBD II reader, connect to your car and you can read any fault codes to find out what the ECU is reporting. You can easily Google those codes with your car make/model/year and find out more information about what other’s may have reported as the likely fix for the problem.

You can buy this in multiple stages, from a base kit up to fully built, and the prices range. Most people recommend having about $100,000 to build a decent one, although it can get more expensive if you want 500bhp and really good breaks. No matter what you prefer, or can get cheap, you have to put a Ford engine in the back. It’s just wrong not to!

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. I find it really dangerous, and normally I tend to break and start driving really slow whenever I have one of those “stickers” behind me. does anyone know how much it would cost to paint a Peugeot 205 GTI?What car did you learn to drive in?by Renee S 6 years ago

Road safety shows, crash test videos or other will show the public road is for safe sensible driving and anything else is for off road or motorsport. Just a thought and I don’t mean to tread on any toes,landscapeartistposted 7 years agoin reply to thisthank you for your comment. I understand what you are getting at fully regarding the safety shows and such.

Raiola presents the proposed contract. The bidding clubs balk at the terms. Several clubs say to Raiola that they instead offer de Ligt a top 10 center back salary with no annual increase, and by the way they increase Raiola agent fee to 25m euros. Anyone that played FM knows this strategy well.

My children were 3 and 5 years old for their first rides. My bike had a backrest and they held on tight. I have been riding for 34 years now and I have 4 professional training programs under my belt including my instructors. Statistically a motorcycle has a 5 times greater chance of avoiding an accident than a car. 1)they stop better

There is a lot of discussion in various forums about how this gear does not ever seem to turn all the way around and you can fix it by simply rotating the gear to the unused portion (a potential free fix). I cannot speak to whether that is a reliable long term fix since I did not try that. You can see from my photos however, that it indeed does not look like one side of the gear that still has the light green lubricant on it was ever touched or used by the worm gear,so take that for whatever it’s worth.

In places they literally have stated they are cheapening materials. For example the F10 using steel vs aluminum in the chassis. Cheaper but more weight. You also are correct but more Inline with my thinking. For example the ZF8 transmission is in every bmw in the line up from suv to M5. It’s a nice commuter transmission but doesn’t have any business being in the M5 IMO. But bmw made ZFs biggest transmission purchase in the companies history to you can imagine the discount on a per unit basis for that.
