I almost s*** my pants laughing.

(lol)

Washed and did a few rock chips with some touch up paint, those came out okay, tried to do a longer scratch and it looked like ass so I went inside and decided I was going to worry less about this thin as paper paint. Then I drank a few beers.

to be smooth I will release the clutch until the car starts moving then smoothly add gas (does not work up a hill though) The car got significantly easier to drive smoothly after 5K or so (combination of me being better at driving it and the car smoothing out)

I wonder if that varies by location? I would not let a chain oil change place touch my 1991 POS yota pickup, much less my speed3. I think I have developed a good relationship with my dealer _because_ of the oil changes i have done with them. Even when they are unable to repro my issues, they...

yeah, me too - I like black mica (especially when clean) but the blue the Australians get for the MPS is the sex

ahhhhhhh man, you're killing me - your ride looks really sweet, and the wheels surely worth every penny. dayum!

The wife is still trying to figure out why the car sounds so different (I stand there with a surprised, slack jawed look on my face, going "huh?"), I wonder if she'll buy "nah babe, the wheels always looked like this"?

Not today, but over the weekend I debadged and installed the cobb sri, and tried to convince myself I can stay with the stock rims for another year (not sure I believed me).

I have used http://www.paintscratch.com/ in the past, and would happily use them again.

I feel you. I commute 3 days a week, and use my old beater pickup (yota minis FTMFW). The vehicles get roughly the same MPG (~25 mixed) but the truck is putting out 90 WHP. On the s**** SF city streets I can barrel along instead of watching for potholes, and limit the stress of parking and...

Avoid parallel street parking in san francisco. People park by braille. The number of cars that have marked up bumpers due to low speed rubbing is crazy. On the days I must drive in, I drive my beater pick up.

the dealership that won't let me test drive is the one that just lost my business. Same for requiring a credit check or deposit.

I can't heel/toe for s*** on the ms3 (legs too long/in too tight or something) but on my beater 91 yota pickup I heel toe every time I drive it.

If the magusson-moss act is supposed to protect modders, and it does not appear to from what I read, then why would someone agreeing to a forums TOS help? Teh interwebs>the law?

bwahahahahaha pixies, now breeders? how about some frank black next? Mid 30's? I like the cut of your jib sir.

I learned stick on an early 80's volvo wagon (16 years ago) and it would only go into first while the vehicle was in motion, If you came to stop before shifting - oooof, rasslin' time. It would also pop out of gear under load at times. Since then I have owned half a dozen manual cars with...

other than the recalls, I have had an ambient temp sensor replaced and had the stabilizer bar nut tightened after hearing the clunking. 07 MS3, 16K

My mileage got better after about 7K. I usually put in about 12 gallons when I see 280 on the clock. I kept track of every tank until I hit the 12K point, and some of the earlier tanks were as poor as 20 mpg, lately highway has been as good as 28.

how do you start the car moving from a dead stop?
