I'd be on drugs if I said the 318is was good - They are loving snoozefest shitboxes, a bit of lipstick on a pig without the whole go really fast bit.

It's fine to have a different opinion but you come off as a very angry person towards anyone that doesn't share yours.

This one here is way closer to my price range (aka very low) and there's even an M1a for $500 with a blown head gasket. Much like my previous "gotta have it" vehicle, it comes down to whether I can squeeze into the damned thing cuz I'm 6' 7" and the VW Rabbit Pickup is forever off the table for me.

They should have in the S, it's more that people in the US don't always realise that other countries still got 318i variants without the M42, keeping the M40 instead.

I think it's the 316i that Australia never got.

I have a question


What makes a steering wheel do this?

Never, ever cleaning it, treating it, or using a sunshade. It's just foam with a smooth skin. The skin shrinks just like a vinyl dash, but it's way thinner. Notice the complete lack of care for the leather seats. Same root cause.

InitialDave posted:

Was it owned by a woman?

No, seriously. It seems that a common cause of that stuff on contact points of interior trim is hand cream/moisturiser, there's something about it that attacks them. I don't know if it's because men generally don't use the stuff, or if they do, it's a different type, but usually when I see that damage, it's a girl's car.

This is definitely true of PC keyboards and mice. Hand cream is amazing at removing the lettering. In this case, i think it's just sun damage.

Hey Rhyno how about tell this person you're engaged and monogamous? If they persist after that they're absolutely in the wrong.

Senior design was awesome but a shitload of work. Heat transfer sucked, but so did our teacher that changed nothing from what he taught in the 70's. I remember taking 5 engineering classes (no elective bullshit easy classes) on my last semester and I was still able to work part time. Can't say I recommend it, though.

In your final year Enourmo? Do you have any internships so far?

Nothing so far. I originally planned to take this summer off, but after falling off a cliff grass wise in spring I needed to catch back up. Now with me having 5 free days a week* I might try and get something for fall. Maybe there'll be more options since most students only look over summer? We'll see.

*including weekends, idk how much engineering internships extend to sat/sun.

It's fiancée if you're a man and if you're talking about a woman, however either way sounds extremely fey when men say it. So maybe that's the problem.

Nothing incredible, a woman at work I've always had a bit of a crush on, we got thrown to working together and after talking shop she mentions casually she's always fancied me but lucky for our SO's we're both married. Moments later she just as casually asks if my department has had the pleasure of the recent influx of Italian graduates. The words "greasy workshy wop" were used. No boner.
