    BMW X1 SAV Spied

    Wow that thing sucks. Why don't people just get a frickin' wagon if you're going to make an SUV that small? I mean Touring? My 8-year old 3-series sedan with folding rear seat can haul a lot more crap than that. People are stupid.

    BMW to get new torque vectoring rear-axle

    Not sure how this is better than a tried and true limited-slip. Just seems like more s*** to go wrong. I've had my E46 for 48 hours and have had a couple opportunities to try out the TCS. It's a safe and almost transparent system but ultimately just makes you go around corners slower. Probably...

    1 Protege sold, 1 328i owned tomorrow

    Cool article Mikey. That's exactly what I kinda wanted to do... but I don't have that much money right now at this point in my life. Love love love the 328. Owned it almost 24 hours now. It just rolled over 104K miles. HOWEVER... it was owned by an engineer who works for TRD. He's working on...

    1 Protege sold, 1 328i owned tomorrow

    You could get a 325iT with 5-speed and AWD to replace the P5. :) They aren't easy to come by but they are out there. However, I've read enough reviews that say AWD Bimmers are definitely not as fun as the classic rear-drivers. (Not that they suck.) That's easy for me accept though because I...

    1 Protege sold, 1 328i owned tomorrow

    After 15 years driving poor men's BMW's (Buick Electra T-Type, Nissan Sentra SE-R, Protege... ok the first and third are a stretch) I'm getting the real thing tomorrow. Still have my Miata. Not leaving the Mazda family anytime soon. At most I'm going to Jim Conforti shark it and get a...

    Protege OEM 6-disc radio question

    Yeah, I had someone install it for me. I remember what an ordeal it was to pull the stock stereo just to install the tape deck and I just gave up. Hopefully I can show one of the eBay links to the buyer and only lose 100 off my selling price.

    Protege OEM 6-disc radio question

    So.... driving home tonight.... listening to a CD. All of a sudden the audio flickers like the CD was skipping and then goes out completely. Switch over to radio. Stereo is still powered on, but no sound here as well from either front or rear speakers. I have an Infinity amp under the seats...

    Conan's SHO

    Classic episode http://eclipsnetwork.com/index2.php?clip_id=15&section_id=1 This episode makes Conan the equal of Leno as a car enthusiast to me. He proudly drives a powerful sh*tbox and he rows his own gears. But in funny it's obviously no contest.

    Electric guitar around $250 -- suggestions?

    In that price range those are a solid bet. Thing is, it has a bolt-on neck instead of a set neck like a "real" Les Paul. I'd probably go for this Les Paul Jr. copy which is every bit as simple that the original was intended to be.... BUT.... the neck is also set like the original...

    New BMW models by 2012

    Ferrari FS 599 Fuoristrada SUV

    Lambo SUV was an OK joke. I wish this Ferrari was a joke. This is tremendous... LOL.

    Nissan May Bring $2,500 Car to European and US Markets

    I always hated the Scion xB but something about the look on the Cube's face.... I love it. It's like the Mitsubishi Toppo I had in Japan but meaner looking.

    Elise SC (Supercharged) & Exige S Performance

    I knew I was going to catch flak for that. Spoiler and other add-ons have this 8-year old drawing a race car feel to them. But it is a track car and they are functional. I should shut up. :)
