[editline]20th May 2011[/editline]

or i guess if you're doing it to impress your friends put a RB30 in there[/QUOTE]

I figured it was a dumb question but i do want more than 165HP in such a large car, but i don't know a whole lot about engine/drivetrain swapping

I can't find an audi I like, so I might accidentally into a 2006 Subaru WRX wagon.

[QUOTE=Dutchlike;29950454]Hey hey hey guys, buying a '70s/'80s BMW M3 for +- €1500,- = good idea Y/N ?
Do the older models really devaluate that much naturally or are there just a shitload of trashed ones I've been seeing around? (like at least 10 )
Major advantages are no road tax and cheap insurance for oldtimers.
I can do basic mechanics but no welding.

Also I'm fucking envious of cool AMERICAN MUSLE being cheap in America.[/QUOTE]

Link the ads if they are online because they probably arent M3's.

A recovery vehicle is usually used overseas in covert missions to extract personnel and equipment.

I've always liked the Kia Soul, my sister has one, and I have to say that the engine in it sounds like a Boxer.

I'm hoping to buy a new car, possibly an ST-2 by the end of the year. I can afford it, but the car insurance? UK really fucks you over

[Del91]

They want to start a damn Mileage tax here in the states now apparently. Because of all the Hybrids not using gas, giving congress their cut. :mad:

Yeah, I should read better, they're not really m3s.

Don't mind the guy under the car admiring the complete lack of rust.

And my boss took me out on his boat.

We hit 63 mph, I think that's probably the fastest I've ever been on a boat. He said it had more but gas is expensive :(

i think my unlces crazy friend had u going like 80 in his bass boat

OH hi there wake ;_;

[mpntball2012]

Fucking love boats. Nothing beats kicking back on the bow (open bow with seats) while cruising at 55+. Me and my dad rented brand new 09' Yamahas down in Florida on Ft. Myers a couple summers ago. Topped at 71 in shark infested water :v:

I want a bass boat so goddamn bad

Edit: Somebody make a boating thread...? Possibly?

Also, went and saw Fast 5 last night and was surprisingly really good. Mostly because they brought back almost everybody from the first one. Everybody left during the credits before they cut to a scene that definitely hinted at a 6th movie. Can't wait.

[Roflnocerous]

My uncle is a boat fanatic. He has always had at least one boat, and has had some batshit retarded bass boats with huge fucking engines. So much fun. Bass boats are like the miata of the boat world. Stuff a huge fucking motor in it and go like fuck

[Del91]

I need to get a new car, my car's starting to feel a little tired. Seems like every other time I start it up I get a blue cloud out the back and the stench of burning oil. I checked my oil level yesterday and It was about 3/4 of the way down from max. I just changed it about 3 weeks ago. :sigh:
