That's a lot better than the E30. And the E30 was pretty damned nice.

2001 Honda Civic, 150K miles. $0.

Really great week. Someone also gave me a Samsung Galaxy S5 with 3 batteries.

I plan to keep this for a bit then sell it and get a Honda Element.

Six liters of Vortec fury. Which I actually say unironically, this one puts out 315 hp, a full 50% more than the last Suburban I had while weighing about the same, so by my standards it's stupid quick. It's getting to be about the time of year to get that A/C working, so naturally because I make wise financial decisions I'm just gonna buy a second car and use this as a weekend hoon and work truck. The seller (who worked at a county motor pool) said it was very well maintained... but there are holes in the grille where the strobe lights used to be because the owner before him was the county fire department, so it was probably run pretty hard. I plan to do the same.

Good luck. The 6.0 is one of the better mills (IMO). If its a 4L80E its a battle axe, and will be hard as gently caress to kill.

Especially because his isn't a '99 or '00 so he doesn't have iron heads.

gently caress I forgot about that too. Yeah that is pretty much impossible to kill, short of it running out of fluids

I've lost count as to how many times I've had to dig it out this year. Our parking lot has gone from 12 spaces to about 5, there is literally nowhere left to put the snow this year.

Pause and ask yourself -- is the entire car in the shot? If not, do you WANT the entire car in the shot? If so, zoom out or step back.

Yeah, I don't think any of those east coasters could handle the absolutely awful high 60's and sunny skies we're having up here in the frozen wasteland of the PNW. It's been brutal. There were some clouds earlier. Brrr!

ynotony: Apr 14, 2003; Yea...this is pretty much the smartest thing I have ever done.

Out with the old: (2003 330i ZHP):

5 years later, same spot in Malibu, same time of year... in with the new: (2007 Carrera S)

I'm sad to see the 330i go, it was a fantastic everyday car that has been really reliable and pretty cheap to run. It took about a year to figure out a car worthy of replacing it, but once I drove a 911 it was game over. I considered 135i, 335i, e46/e90 M3, M-Coupes, m235i, but nothing really got me excited about getting a new car as much as the 997. Once I drove one it was surprising how easy the decision became.

Low 80's with a nice sea breeze every day here in florida. This was just such a terrible week to be outside in!

It was 81 here in Denver on Tuesday

Meanwhile last week it snowed like a foot. Weather is weird out here. This warm weather is absolutely destroying my winter tires. But if I put my summers back on, it's guaranteed to snow within a week.

DropShadow: Apr 15, 2003

Still rolling around on my 18s and snow tires because there's an outside chance we'll get one more snow before the end of the month. This winter sucked because we never got more than 4-5" of snow at one time, and it was usually gone in a week. What the gently caress, Minnesota. This is not what I signed up for when I moved here.

TEASE MY NECKBEARD: Jan 13, 2009

Wasn't planning on buying a new vehicle for another 2 years or so, but I got such a good deal on this 2014 F-150 that I couldn't resist.

Chrome wheels wouldn't have been my first choice, but they have kind of grown on me some. Definitely not going to consider replacing them until I wear out the tires.

The ecoboost engine is so awesome.
