Turn Signals Optional: Gberg’s M3

The rep wants me to give him another shot. They don't want to break trim which is why the fender badges weren't removed. Because apparently I'd be paying for replacements if they break it? So, taking it to a professional detailer and they don't trust themselves to remove this stuff? :really: Bubble...

I'm confused by this whole thing. I give Mrs. H full decision making over a lot of things we do: all decorating for the house, what renovation projects get priority etc. When it comes to cars, she knows that's my world and gives zero shits about what I drive. Hell, she even let's me have a large in...

Wait can you break down who said what etc. it’s very confusing to read because it sounds like you got comments from the film manufacturer, installer and added some of your own. I sort of got lost there

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

Back to this ol' thing. I am pretty sure I am somewhat narrowed in on either M2/3 or Hype R. But I got to get something I am actually committed to driving.

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

So I’m making a list of sports cars that would be within each price bracket that are decent … 1. GR86 (30-40k) 2. Miata (30-40k) 3. Type R Shitvic (40-50k) 4. GT premium (50k) 5. M2 (60-70k) 6. C8 (70-80k) 7. M3 (75-85k) 8. F pace (78-84k) 9. Emira (90-110k) 10. Cayman GTS 4.0 (100-120k) 11. Carrer...

It does suck but from his point of view maybe he should've done it right the first time? Don't rush jobs and overbook cars because this is the result. The fender badges are 3 clips. Pull them to tuck the ppf behind. Pull the trim along the roof rails so you don't have to redo the entire roof becaus...

Oh did stis drop in price ? I feel like they were hovering around 38-45 forever. And are those engines at least more reliable ? Do they still pop head gaskets every 70-100k miles

Wife does not want a manual. I was in part okay spending our money on the 86 because my wife assured me she'd learn. I've taken her out for lessons twice and both times she's been completely overwhelmed. It's not helped by the 86 being especially tricky - between the rev hang and the touchy throttl...

What are you going to ask him to do? Redo the whole job? Most of it. Both fenders need to be redone with the badges pulled so it's done correctly. Roof to get rid of the dirt underneath and because it's peeling up at the corner. Fix the weather stripping on the roof which he didn't do and the b pil...

It's definitely tempting. This car still feels like it's stuck in the middle for my use case. I would get more out of either having a sport sedan with a real back seat so I could take a kid or two comfortably, or having something that's more of an event to take out for nothing other than a drive (c...

This R53 is looking like it will be my first black car, and the color is what I’m least excited for. At least the wheels aren’t black. I may end up throwing some lightweight 16” wheels on it at some point.. if I do, I’d like to add a little pop of fun color like gold/bronze. Even though bigger wint...

Serious question can a C7Z even put the power down ? It’s way too much power through a single set of wheels. C8 is priced lower than a C7Z and imo a better car. Not sure why one would even consider the Z unless it’s 50k. 100k is insane they had like 8-20k on the hood new before the c8 came out. You...
