i think it is one of those compromise days. one puts up with the girls crap and in turn she likes you even more because you are so sweet. for my valentines day i went to my girlfriends house where she cooked my favorite foods for dinner. after which we watched top gear videos on youtube while i explained to her the special things about certain cars they were reviewing (she loves top gear now

Quoterkj I read somewhere that there are, in some states, cameras that take pictures of cars going through yellow/red lights and then you get a ticket in the mail. The really bad parts are; different states have different yellow light/picture taking times and many people are being sent tickets that where not driving their car at the time (maybe someone has borrowed the car?). anyway, it sound

QuoteArcheo-peteriX Kind of sort of like a registry? I say yay yeah kind of sort of like that. people could say a little something about themselves or their cars, and post pictures or whatever else. maybe the section could be called "Member Registry" or "Member Profiles" instead of just "Member Rides"

QuoteFerdinand Quotedaniel $5k is a bit steep. Christoph and I won the Motorsport Club of Ottawa summer night rally series last year, for which the prize was 50% off the 2009 Targa entry fee and another 50% off the accommodation package.

QuoteDave_G I've just discovered that an exhaust leak that has recently gotten very loud is coming from the front pipe before the catalytic converter. It was patched by previous owners, and is now to the point that it needs replacement. As anyone who has shopped for an E30 catalytic converter knows, these things are really pricey. Most of the usual online sources either don't carry t

Quotewodcutr OK, so if premium does not richen the fuel mixture does it burn cleaner or do something to tell the ECU (O2 sensor input) it can adjust so you get better mileage? IMO there has to be a logical explanation for my getting the mileage I do. Is it the chip? I know that some chip makers claim that their chip will increase mileage. Could it be that the increased HP means that you don&#
