Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

Of course, the wife could be also considered a vacuum unit, or the wife should be OPERATING the vacuum.   It all sounds good!

Thank you! That makes perfect sense!

What do you do if you need to bleed brakes but don't have a friend. Make friends? :P

Craigslist....

For a wife?  For a vacuum?  For one in the same?  For a friend?

The Wen sander looks WAY better in person.  Works well, table is solid.

Also bought a chainsaw finally.  Local shop had the 20% Echo day.  501p is on the way!

It should.  50cc power, no autotune, mag case, great vibe reduction, and a steal at 20% Echo day :)

Sweet.  I'll come over and we can throw our own lumberjack games style contests.

Small tuned up motors suck from every brand.  My roommates problems with the ST and RS have been pretty intense as well, especially considering how little he drives.

 

I'm no one to defend BMW with 16 trips to the dealer, but now it runs like a champ with >100k on the clock.  

 

If it's not a big American V8 on a proven platform or a Japanese engine that is underpowered as well, it is probably a nightmare.  Look at the Z car nightmares out there.  Buy a slow Lexus or Mustang/Camaro and you're fine

I think you mentioned it before Sean, these companies were not ready to deal with high boost applications.  They were forced into it from the MPG regulations.

 

You're just going to have to build that Pantera to be happy.

I am not sure I want the car back. :(

Really like the 18 loaner they gave me...but after this perhaps the W needs an RDX or something equally as boring.

Wish Mazda had their own Lexus/Infiniti

 

 

...and made a 7 instead of only 5 and 9

I really like their interior product along with the RV products. Plus this company offers a carfax option and I have been asked about that and now I can offer that.

So my 2013 X3 has a new turbo & wastegate, new short block, new injectors, and a shit ton of little nonsense in addition.  No CPO deductible as it was covered 100% by BMW even though the car is 18k mi outside of the original warranty.  Timing guide failure.  Chunks of it were sucked into the oil pump.  

Guess I have an 18 spec engine now...but my faith in the car and the fact it is a fucking boring toaster have me wanting out of it.
