the owner of the e90 330i from last week didn't know anything about his car (not even approximately how many miles he's owned it for) and told me if i wanted to know the maintenance/service history i should buy a report using the vin. told him take his offer and shove it up his ass

i got sick of checking out hit-or-miss vehicles owned by clueless owners, so i narrowed my search criteria. today i ended up buying a recently listed e46 330ci; $6000, 110k miles, steel blue metallic, sport + premium + cold weather packages. the owner was a fairly wealthy perfectionist who highlighted all of the negatives before the positives. he had a fat stack of receipts and service records-- pretty much all maintenance that needs to be done on a 100k e46 has already been taken care of by either the most reputable bmw shop in west michigan or one of his sons who's a master mechanic specializing in jags and bmws. the rims have been sandblasted and powder coated, looks p freaking nice, i'll get pics tomorrow if i can remember lol. going to take time off of work monday morning to get the sucker legal

oo king of 500 whatcha sayyyy better add something to this post to make it not spam

Today I was driving down the highway and saw a county police car about 1/2 mile ahead in the oncoming lane driving extremely fast. I switched over to the left lane on the highway and pulled into a left turn lane that crosses the oncoming highway with my windows down. The police car blasted past (no lights on or anything) and I'm just thinking, "Wooooooow that guy's speeding!!"

I spun my steering wheel and made a u-turn and started following the cop to find out why he was speeding. Up ahead, I saw a yellow vehicle but it was so far away that I couldn't make out what it was. I kept up with the flying police car but remained far enough back to not raise attention to my speed or suspicion that I'm following him. Another police car from a city jurisdiction made a u-turn ahead of the police car I was following and they both lined up behind the yellow car, which turned out to be a modified Camaro. They both flipped on their lights and took him off the highway at the same time. I moved over to get away from them and then lingered in the general area, but I later saw the Camaro leaving the scene so he must've got off with a ticket or warning.

lmao If I wrecked mine, I'd have to get a job and buy a new one.

Half decent car insurance will pay the full value of your car if you total it. That would mean that insurance would pay out the amount needed to buy the same car of the same model year. It's entirely possible that they were able to get a good deal on one only one model year newer and didn't spend a penny.

Hey guys, I'm keeping my dad's truck next week while he's out of the country. Can anyone give me any help on how the forget do I park a pickup in a city? I've literally no clue where the "box" ends at and fearing that I'm wrecking the rear vehicle, I end up leaving a 5m distance from both vehicles and then backup normally. What can I use as reference to where the truck ends? It's easy when a wall is behind me because light reflects on the wall.

Just park like a normal car just longer. I've backed up trucks many times and it isn't hard after a few times but when you truly need a reference, just look at the light from the brake lights and use that to know how far away you are. This only really works when it's kinda dark though

yeah no stuff

I do this with a wall behind me. Without it, as in, parallel parking between cars, I have no clue whatsoever where the truck ends.

Dang, turns out my plan to buy my uncle's Fiat Mille will not work, he still has to change a bunch of documentations that for some reason will be expensive to do, I also went there last month and I decided to see the car with more depth, turns out it's all rusty, so instead once I get the money I'll research more about the exact car I want, I've been thinking of getting a Ford Ka like this one.

I've got insurance against total destruction - the second highest tier of insurance available to me, the highest being insurance against all risks. My parents told me that if I ever crash something, it needs to burn up in flames, lol.
