Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

Sean-Cigarette lighter or the glovebox charging port are your best bets.J

Thanks. My dumb ass just put the console back in. Getting to the back side of the rear cig lighter however was not obvious. That one is switched. Normal lighter isn't which is EASY to get to.

Check the fuse box. You MIGHT be able to re-route the wires from there, making the front cig lighter be ignition dependent.

Honest opinions about the look of this ride? Not to guido?

http://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/4943229692.html

I like the look, but I also am curious about the service records like Sean is. Additionally the lack of a head on shot makes me wonder if it has frontend damage from a prior accident.

Honestly was just curious what you guys thought of the murdered out look. Had no intentions of buying or even test driving that particular one. (Is 3.5hrs away and way over KBB value) My taste for most things is an "industrial" or "steampunk" look. As far as cars I like "atomic" era body styling. My point is I would not buy a car to boost my ego or impress ppl. Is strictly for fun. Sean nailed on the head though as far as the persona. Hadn't veiwed it that way.

I settled for 34x10.5r16's the last time. They were 34.6 or some shit. Kinda stuck if you like the pizza cutter's.

What were they? Younsayong 34.6 leads me to think it was 315/75R16 which is 34.6x12.4x16.

I really hope you are right though.

Bias ply Super Swampers. They will sing to you. :)

Dollar for dollar the Bfg's are hard to beat. They wear like iron. I have replaced my last two sets at around 60k. They could of went 20k more if I wanted to be real chintzy.

Do any of you know of a solid Porsche forum?

Or a forum with a super awesome sub forum.

I think I want to build some crazy race car, and Porsche is the dream in general. I want to see if it's possible.

Sean turned me into Panteras also, but I'm not sure I'm up for that much work.

I'm 6'2 and probably as wide as a miata.

 

 

Two Miatas !

I wonder if the amplifier wire is ignition switched? If so, I am willing to cut that harness to extract the one wire I need...

I learned real quickly on buying used luxury bombs how to typecast the owners. The one thing you can't have in one of those cars is a crappy owner.

Conveniently the stock wheels and other accessories are extremely saleable so buying a stock one and modifying it is rather cost effective. Service records tell a story on a BM'er, one I'd really want to know.

At Children's. Tanner is getting his tonsils and adnoids out. So hard to watch them put him to sleep.

I've read a couple of horror stories that I am not sure I believe regarding the door chime module.

Functionally that the CAN bus talks to it and when it gets no response the computer doesn't know how to deal eventually and requires a pull the battery power cycle to clear things. If that is truly the case I'd spend the $50 for a module.

My other option is to hurry up to figure out a CAN interface and just respond A-ok whenever it asks whatever.

Exactly why they partnered with BMW.

Affordable?  The last gen cars were $30K+ back in the 90s.  The Supra has always been a premium for them.

I think they're relegating everything "interesting" to Lexus.

Back to driving a Town Car again.  SO much better!  I honestly don't know that I can drive any "small" car again.  The Mustang might evern be too small given the cockpit is ridiculous for even my tiny person.  Honestly don't know why they even bothered with a back seat.

Was going to look at the 370Zs given they are priced similarly, but might just go MKS or used XF.
