Re: The Car Talk Thread
Someone mentioned buying an E46xi earlier. Just be careful, there is a reason none of the 25 employees that work here drive an E46. The worst chassis BMW has built, ever.

Re: The Car Talk Thread
I wish I would have found this thread earlier. Thanks to Erik (DoctorIT) I found my way here. I've been spending way too much time in that other forum, talkin' motorcycles.

Re: The Car Talk Thread
Negative. Truckzilla is still here.. now doing ~120 miles a day! :bash I've almost gone full circle on the whole car front. After I relocated and got saddled w/ my new commute, I had my heart set on a nice new Mazda3 hatch. The idea was that the MZ3 would become my daily transport, w/ a slight flair for both utility…
