no safety features, you'll surely be dead.

Also slow steering

Also no powah

Also no Android Auto

Seems like a pretty shitty experience to me.

Don't forget no heated steering wheel.

:nope:

More classics can easily accept an aftermarket radio than new cars, so lack of AA/ACP are not a valid excuses.

I have three basic reasons for being here, in this order:

1. I have great health care for myself and my wife with almost no deductibles or minimums.
2. I make more money in a year than many people will make in 20 (or in some cases their life), and I actually like my job as many of my employees are friends, some like family.
3. My wife will make 10x more monthly out of her retirement if she stays another ~6 years vs leaving now after working 24 years on the job.

Fair enough, I thought it was just #3.

:tits:

is the only reason I'm stuck in murica

#3 is a big factor, but actually the number is more like 6-7x. If she bailed now she would basically only get paid out equal to what Social Security pays people that maxed contributions to it. Plus, she can/will be double covered on Insurance and getting retirement pay at 55 instead of waiting to 62, 65, or 72 like the rest of us.

It's a good reason to be. I love Pennsylvania but likely would have moved by now if not for

I have ABS.

I have an upgraded 2.7 lock:lock Z3 steering rack.

I have almost as much powah as your FiST, with around the same weight

I have no screen, but I do have bluetooth.

Montana/Idaho/Wyoming type place. Who knows. I haven't thought much about it because it's not something we are doing.

Idaho is moving up on our list rapidly. We're going out there twice in 2020 to experience the spring/summer and winter.

Being that I worked at Micron, I have a lot of friends near Boise and we are looking at the Eagle area.

For some reason I read that other post as you leaving the US. My bad.

I think that is worth while... same with a gallon of coolant... even a shitty leak takes a while to "drain" the lot. Unless there is a full on hole.. at which point it is

The cooling system isn't really that vulnerable, but it's a good idea to have some on hand.

The

mobile is pretty damn close to my car all around. Same wheelbase, power, weight, wheel/tire size, slightly nose-heavy weight distribution, 2+2 FR layout, etc.

So I guess that means the orange car is a turd too. How do you :dealwithit:

being so slow? :disgust:

Water seems fine unless you're dangerously driving in the winter. :wrong:

Nah I've seen enough of the world to know things are pretty excellent here. Issues, of course everywhere has issues. Our issues generally are pretty small and offset well.

Out of the U.S. Ireland and Scotland are pretty much the only places I'd live.

They won't let you live there, you'd endanger the Whisky market by drinking it before they can export any.

All those features are obviously pointless for a real man. Just give me a horse dick shifter and some black fumes out the ass, and that's all the body needs.
