              Thank you sir.  It has never left me stranded.  Ever.  A/C compressor converted to air compressor, can air up tires or even run an impact.  Hope to convert it to CNG at some point to make it cheaper to operate, on a good day it gets 12mpg.

                    Yea I'm definitely not a big subaru fan, but I wasn't going to sacrifice a BMW to the rust gods, and I found this bugger and the price was on point. I would pull the motor before I changed the fucking plugs... Also, This bitch was completely bone stock, dealer maintained, and one owner. 129k on it. 2002.

                                I may have a save on not driving the bimmer. Found a 92 dodge dakota with a 5.2l that is prime for the picking and ready for the snow. fingers crossed.

                                    changing plugs on a subaru isnt really THAT hard. harder than a non-boxer engine for sure, but not THAT hard still.

                                      I just picked up another E28. Gunna be the winter beater for a bit, then it's getting torn apart in spring and parted out.

                                      wouldn't you want the 5 speed with LSD and cool shit to be the fun car, not a winter beater daily?
