I've been wondering about this for a while, how much does an LS swap run for those cars? I love e46's (and all manner of older BMW's, and even the newer ones), but I'd hate to put up with owning something with an aging complex German engine under the hood (especially the cooling system). How does it drive compared to how it was before the old motor asploded (aside from being way faster, obviously).



About 20k I guess. Everything is brand new though so I figured what else could I spend so little on new and go as quickly?
Proper man maths but it seems awesome.
Drives great. Very easy to drive. Ballistic fast. Less refined lower down because of massive cam but eh, I didn't build it to sit in traffic. Also I think it's more balanced than it was before. All round very good!

I use cheap wal mart plastic drawers and they come in larger sizes. I don't remove things as often as groceries would be, amd I'm thinking the drawer thing might become a hassle.

We bought some InstaCrates from Costco. Nice to use for groceries and they fold up if you need more space.

It's great for keeping poo poo from rolling around the trunk but it can be a huge pain the rear end since you have to always carry it with both hands.

So when I wanted to carry some groceries inside, I'd take it out of the car, slam the trunk shut with my elbow, go to the front door, put it down, unlock the door, pick it up while holding the door with my foot since it closes automatically, go to the next door, repeat, go to the elevator, put it down unless I can press the button with my elbow, move it inside, push the floor button, pick it up, carry to the door, put it down, unlock the door, move it in, lock the door, finally pick it up and move to the kitchen. You get the idea, unless I'm carrying a shitload of plastic bags, I can otherwise do everything much less awkwardly.

They were university surplus. Still not crazy cheap, but nowhere near new price.

I have an old blanket I keep in my car trunk that i wrap around my grocery bags and it keeps them from moving around much at all. It's also handy for when you need to stick dirty things in your trunk, crawl under your car, or cover up precious cargo from prying eyes

:hampants::hampants::hampants:
I've got an Aeron that I've owned for 12 years for my office at home and was thrilled to discover a cache of Aerons near my office at work. Nobody said anything when one migrated into my office instead of whatever bad chair was in there, so it's mine now.

There might be better chairs, but whatever your hangups about "status symbols," these have been comfortable and reliable for more than 1/3 of my life, so I'm not exactly raring to go find another one.

You're talking about dead teenage girls, aren't you?

Aeron chat: been using one at work for 8 years. It's nothing special, and definitely not worth the stupid pricetag.

Tempted by the switch but put off by the lack of games out or on the horizon, as good as zelda is I can't really justify it at £350. I find it weird that 3ds is still getting better titles like the new fire emblem next month

It's hard to compete with the mountain of good games for the 3DS but the Switch already has about six games that are really great and a ton more coming out.
The VC with GC games will be nuts, as well.

How are the Mario Karts different from each other? In my mind the Gamecube, Wii, Wii u, and Switch versions are the same game but I haven't actually played them. I got turned off after playing the DS version and everyone was doing the lovely drifting trick.
