  1. You have to build up a tolerance to working your ass off.
  2. No. They look like fun cars though. If someone is volunteering, I wouldn't mind swapping cars or co-driving for an Auto-X.
  3. Maxima guy, serious question here, how old are you?
  4. Oh yeah, forgot one: Gillig Phantom: F-, acceptable steering slack tolerances was listed as "less than 15*"
  5. 2008 Mazda3: B+, very light; good tactical feedback/immediacy 2008 Mazdaspeed3: B, feels heavy/solid, less feedback 1999/2001 Miata: A, it's a Miata 2004 BMW 530i: B+, excellent example of well balanced steering 2003 BMW X3 2.5i: C+, more feeling than a lot of other cars on this list 2007 BMW 335i: C+, meh. 2011 BMW 135i M-Sport: D+, BMW really dropped the ball with this one, artificially heavy, numb, and unpredictable. 2007 350Z: B+, felt appropriately "sporty" 2004 S2000: A, obvious, RWD + lightweight 2010 Gen Coupe: B, felt good, no gripes or complaints 2005 Accord V6: C, weighted up unnaturally, lacked a true feeling of turn-in 2008 E350 4-MATIC: B, very smooth around, only receives "good" feedback while cornering, easy to set the car into the line 2002 RSX-S: A, excellent feel and communication I left out a few cars, but that will give you a good feeling to where I stand.
  6. Pretty much any video with Finnegan and Freiburger is comedy gold.
  7. The OZ Ultraleggera look weird in any size under 18in for the most part, fortunately, you are looking at 18's. I don't like that particular model of TR wheel. Since the GTI is a daily, I would choose the OZ. "Function > Form" People put way too much emphasis on light-weight wheels, but the reality is that a heavy tire would offset the 1.5lb benefit. Before this offends anyone, think about where you ideally want rotational mass to reside.
  8. As long as you like it, that's all that really matters.
  9. I have seen a handful of people who are posting in this thread "street racing" and more generally driving like complete jackasses.
  10. Does this apply for bikes as well? It seems like with this bill potentially putting everything on the line like that, it would increase the likelihood of someone ditching the cops.
  11. Yeah, that would be Enthusiast Auto. They sell extremely overpriced BMW's.
  12. Subaru FA20 turbo already exists, for the J-spec Forester, that's where that half of the rumor comes from. And TRD has confirmed an optional supercharger kit, much like they make for all of the other Scions.
  13. Trying to cut down to 170. Currently hanging around 179-180 with top 4 abs poking out, trying to ditch the last of the lower back/stomach fat.
  14. Oh look, it's this terrible argument.
  15. So you have serious traction issues, yet want quicker gearing, won't you just spin more in the lower gears?
  16. You see, it's funny because you implied that the Mayan Calendar scares were a bunch of bullshit. . . . . . Captain Obvious, awayyyyy!
  17. Put mine on today. Driving around on Direzza StarSpecs that are heat cycled and beyond the wear bars is shitty when it's 40* and raining.
  18. We are throwing a party at our place this year, and the theme for everyone is "super heroes", which opens up an enormous amount of amusing character costume interpretations. I am going to be Super Saiyan Goku.
  19. "No one can beat me, except for me." :fa:
  20. I think he has Autism, at a highly-functioning level. His mannerisms remind me of my former roommate.
  21. Logic like this is poisonous.
  22. Both of your cars are filthy, but welcome. And I agree with Norm, Mazdas are for social outcasts who should be shunned from society, or burned at the stake. Pick your poison.
