Individually, a Bosozoku doesn't scare me. If I was in Japan, and a mob of those crazy mofos rolled up, you better believe I'd GTFO.

Anyone could tell that he was train wreck from a mile away.

All of them, but me.

Nice Hyundai, bro! http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/2014-hyundai-sonata.jpg

Waiting to hear about suspension design, weight, engine, and general performance before I make a judgement call. Thus far, it's just another "meh" Subaru design.

Nope, another 75*F day here.

The answer is two cars, a nimble one, and a fast one. The smaller, more nimble car would have a smaller body, sitting on smaller tires, and generally feel more agile while giving it up in outright stability and speed. The fast car would be all about fatty tires and power. You can't have every car in one. FWIW, I mirror your statements about the RSX-S. My friend had one, and it was the car I learned to drive in. Something about it was just magic. Probably the last good car Honda sold in the states. I seriously considered buying an S2000 in place of the 1'er, until I drove it, expecting it to be a RWD RSX, but it just did not deliver.

SOLD!

Hi. It's not that bad. Nice car, but having driven an auto FR-S, I can safely say, shoulda got the stick.

Correct-o-mundo. A lot of shop estimators love writing big sheets and trying to total cars that they don't want to deal with repairing.

Okay, I misunderstood. I want to make a BIG note about this, because I am 99% certain EVERY big name insurance company totals a car the same way: IT IS NOT a flat rate percentage of vehicle value. AS pays a third party company, who has no stake in repair process, to run a true market value (ACV) on the vehicle, based on in-depth conditioning, mileage, vehicle details, and specific market location. This means that the numbers we receive are what actual comparable vehicles have been sold for on the local market, as verified by DMV reports. As soon as we run a T/L valuation in our system, it pings the market to find a salvage value for the vehicle. In laymen terms, if we sent the vehicle to auction as a total, what we would get for it, as is. From there its a basic formula of: ACV - Salvage Value = T/L threshold Hope this helps. If you have any other questions regarding how AS handles your claim, just shoot me a PM, and I'll try to explain everything to the best of my ability.

Nothing he really said comes off as offensive. The quote itself is such a garbled up thought, that it had people looking for context, as opposed to content, to find it offensive. He's not going around actively oppressing people, or anything like that, it's just an opinion. Let the crazy swamp people think what they want to about vaginas and anuses.

I work for Allstate as an Auto Claims Adjuster so this is actually what I handle day-to-day. What happened is that an initial estimate was written for damages that could be seen at the time. Once the repair facility tore the car down, they found additional damages and called in a supplement to AS saying that they needed more parts/repair time/money. The supplement crossed the total loss threshold, making your car financially unrepairable. I can only speak of how my unit (South California MCO) handles things, but if a supplement is written, that means an adjuster from AS saw the car, since they are the ones in charge of verifying shop supplement requests and cashing the check. If the field adjuster who saw your car confirmed it was a total loss, they would have been the ones to call you and explain that, as well as how AS determines their ACV (Actual Cash Value) on the vehicle. Who did you speak with on the phone, telling you that the car was a total?

335i coupe X-Drive 6MT exist, though not quite as sporty an option as the Super Beetle.

This is same asshole who pulled me over for "speeding" and gave me a tint ticket/offset license plate ticket. So let me just say the following: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhaahahahh

It's pretty well recorded from various sources (i.e. Jalopnik, C&D, R&T,etc.) that Mazda set a target curb weight of 1000 kilos for the 4th gen MX5. It's legit. http://jalopnik.com/2015-mazda-miata-will-weigh-less-be-best-car-ever-made-1472596953

Let me know when Honda begins to rekindle their desire to produce cars that don't suck.

Derek all day. IPS pulled a slowmo on me with my alignment price, so I took my business elsewhere...

Sounds petty.

I'm 62.

TBH, all turbo, DI engines, regardless of manufacturer, are going to be a bit high-strung, in terms of reliability. If you start to dissect the all of the various engines that fit in that catagory, you'll find issues. That being said, my best friend bought a 2007 E90 335i with 75k miles, and it's now about to hit 90k with no issues under his watch. According to the service history, it had the HPFP, injectors, and battery replaced at port, back in late 2006 and that's about it... I picked up my 2010 135i as a 12,000 mile old, CPO car this February, and now at 23,000, it's yet to have any notable issues, and it's service history noted nothing out of the ordinary. They did to replace my rear lights when I bought it? Apparently that's a 1-series thing. The lights weren't broken, but they did it just to say it had been taken care of. TLDR: All cars can have problems. All cars can not have problems.

lmfao.

Is that the guy who always has his hood open, with LEDs to show off his stock engine bay with a fartcan exhuast, while blaring rap music, and ever so slightly touching himself whenever talking about his car?

Love those cars.
