@jc43089 you are why your cars don't stay running for any longer than 3-6 months at a time.  You just can't leave a project alone!

Yup, this is true.  I have a disease of tinkeritis.

Kudos for daily-ing a mystery 270k mile e36 though.

I have been looking at houses and jobs out West recently.
Im getting kind of sick of the no daylight lifestyle

Fuck this state.  I dream of a life where I dont need to worry about winter tires.

[jc43089]

I for one was excited for some exciting winter driving!  I feel like I've got more power when i can get some wheelspin in 5th gear.  It was glare ice in sections this morning on the way to work.  The General tires aren't quite Blizzaks but way better than any all season and the price is right.

Had I been born to a wealthy Saudi oil sheikh, I would live the snowbird life. Beach house in the winter months, Cabin in the woods during the summer months. Alas, here I am as a peon in my cubicle. Should have invested in Bitcoin.

I think the dark is more annoying than the cold though

So I purchased a RAV4 recently and have been going through all the maintenance items. Check out this cabin filter that was inside the car........

I usually get a token dead bee when i change mine out for the first time. Any such critters in yours?

I would be the opposite. I love the snow, and hate bugs.

No foreign animals. But I did manage to find $9.07 in change, 4 half smoked joints, and a small baggie containing a white ball of a powder-like substance when I cleaned the interior. That has to count for something.

@0:33 Hazard switch broke

Should have used a 6-er. Looks more like a drug dealers car IMO.

[Bassboy3313]

every e21 has had its hazard switch break. Those damn things are horrible

with no power steering even.

a mans car... if it wasn't so small an effeminate...

if it wasn't for rwd and lift-off oversteer, i might be questioning my life choices right now...

not the pic I was looking for, but this is pretty much how I would roll if I had drugs to sell, minus the goofy front plate, and add excessive window tint of course.

[jc43089]

Test fitted the m50 in the van last night. Just had to trim and massage the tunnel a little to fit the transmission. Fabricating engine mounts and a way to hook up steering today. Pics to come.

It fits, engine mounts welded in, and sunshine modified. No turning back now.
