hey jacknut she's orginally from NC and she's moving up here for good sounds like either at christmas time or end of the school year. so she's not a true buckeye yet she's a Tar heel.

 

I barely have a little over 100 posts, and even I know not to believe a word Water-S says.



in other news, I have an e-lambo, and my girl has an e-porsche.. my parents are thinking of getting that e-bentley, but I told them to stop being so stingy and just get that e-maybach.

 

here's a idea: e-fuck off.

 

Its called under rated numbers. No driveline is that efficient, at least not in a production car.

dbox is back

 

My buddy has my car and i have his..... (getting his windows tinted since its closer to me)

He called and says he likes my car better. Wants to switch.... details to come later after we talk about it.

 

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooo

 

doooo it

 

So the thread title might be accurate after all

 

meh, im sure hes not 100% serious.

He just says he feels more "comfortable" in my car.

Also not sure if i would want a 325 when i know the 328/335 is coming out. Part of me hope hes not serious.

 

To repizzle my previous comments from last Fall:

Now, what Jesal wanted to say:

Exactly!

Chicago is the wrong place to go all Eurosnob on us. You actually want 300 hp of Nissan VQ goodness. There's no replacement for power displacement!

 

Anyways, so today i had his car for the day and i hate to say it... but i like my audi better. His run flats are just too loud and gives a harsh ride, more than my 19s! His sport seats are just to narrow for my fat back to mold into. So the fat just folds over to the front of the seat. No comfy at all. I dont recall my 330ci sport seats being that narrow.

Steering feel is MUCH better than my car. But for everyday driving, i enjoy my car more. Im not sure why.

Might not be fair to compare because im modded though... but im glad we switched cars because now i plan to keep my car for awhile.

 

Maybe you were thinnner then.

 

Nope, been the same for awhile now. Plus we drove a 04 330ci too and those seats were fine.

 

So Jen put her foot down huh?

 

She just wants something else Honda-related in the garage/driveway and she missed out on snagging my S2K.

 

She wants a pontiac Vibe... So she has no say if i want a car or not!

 

dump her.

ASAP.

 

My Audi-driving buddy [back in my better, U-M days] from Tri-Cities dumped his girlfriend from Bay City who successfully badgered her parents for a Buick Rendezvous.

It's those Michigan chicks, I tell ya.

 

At least they're all not 5'11"+ like the chicks in western Ohio



Jesal...I may have missed this earlier in the thread, but, is your buddy planning on doing any major mods to his new whip?

 

He was never a modder with his old cars.

BUT.

So far he has already got tint and debadge and getting a short shifter... so this might be a start of somthing.

 

Did he go UUC or RE?

 

Instead of a Vibe, at least save face and get a Matrix XRS.

 

Re

 

I'll be curious how he likes it. We had a UUC SSK in my dads E30 325is and it was nice, a little notchy but it was to be expected. My brother had the RE SSK in his E36 323is and it was ok, but not that great.

 

I had the UUC in the 330 and it was notchy as well. Doesnt seem to be many options yet for the e90 though.

 

Oh the car has a cool feature....

When on a hill and get off the brakes, it will still keep the brakes engaged so you dont roll backwards. Once you start moving forward it releases.

Very nice touch for us manual owners.

 

real drivers don't need that feature.

 

This only works when you have the clutch in and in gear than release the brakes. If you just release the brakes, the car will roll backwards. The brakes holds the car for only a few seconds.

 

A well-built car will never feel fast......fuck, driving around in a Honda Civic at 80-90mph 'feels fast'!!!

But congrats Jesal...whatever you happen to like!!!

 

... or about anything else in this class. I hear you.

 

That is cool... but still doesn't make up for the runflats
