I love driving a manual!!!


Something about shifting gears helps keep you present and connected. Right now my ABS isn't working on my car either and, ho-lee-fuk, you have to be on your game when driving with 0 driver assists!


How long until the next trendy thing in cars is the driverless option? People will be sitting in the backseat of their own car on their phone and drunk/high while the car drives itself.

I think I passed a black matted out A6 yesterday with that option. Guy was toking up a little Mary J out of a fancy bong while the car was going up Abbot. He was sitting in the drivers seat though.

how are you driving on the street that you are noticing you don't have ABS or TCS, etc....? Maybe you should get some better tires.

I commute from Surrey to North Van and I don't think it's bad at all driving a manual in stop and go traffic. If anything, it's the heat that annoys me lol

Anyways, back on topic...

Found my 3rd coolant leak this summer...

ABS light is on... and the 302 with the T5 in my E36 BMW puts down power through 225 tires and a 3.91 rear gear.... BURNOUT MACHINE!!!

mb_ I feel your pain, I hate those stupid gaskets.

What the fuck is ABS?

Pressed in some new lower control arm bushings (sorry for the phone pics)

Restored my plastic headlights... car look brand new again :fullofwin:

Also did some fender liner trimming earlier so I don't rub

Found out why I am down on power, one of the hamsters escaped from my engine

Warnign to peta fans

I know what it is, but none of my vehicles have it, even the 2000 Cherokee oddly enough.

Rinsed off the million bugs that I murdered driving to Seattle and back yesterday.

this obviously isn't what i did to my car today but this is an interesting mechanical gif that's suited to the thread overall.

how an impact wrench works.

^^ is the block all sleeved now and tuning all done?

Pics bro. Restored headlights give me a boner. Yucky, evil haze.

Installed bmw motorsport international glove box trim and replaced my haggard non fitting floor mats with some decent condition fitting floor mats.
