Now that I actually have a garage space worth caring about (aka room for all of my shit), I'm thinking about getting something to protect the garage floor and make it look a little better.
Anyone here have experience doing their own epoxy? Or has anyone installed those snazzy clip together plastic/rubber tiles?
Epoxy would be significantly cheaper DIY, less than $400 for supplies + my time which is basically worthless.
Tiles would be in excess of $1500.

25-40% of businesses on State St won't be returning, they could barely survive coming out of COVID, and now they got smashed to shit and the residents of Madison are cheering this on like it's some great victory for The Movement. It sickens me.
Sorry to be crass, but I've about had it with those fucking idiots. Lives are being ruined over an issue everyone was already 100% behind, save for some redneck fucks with no social influence or presence, save for the media doing their best to hype them up and get people riled up.
Now that downtown has been trashed, they're blocking roads and disrupting traffic, they're doing what should have been obvious as fuck from the beginning; turning everyone against them. gOoD wOrK bOiS!

Commuting my 325i I was always pretty stoked to get anywhere north of 20 mpg.
The e30 318is was consistently getting 28+ hwy.

That vent looks straight out of a grand am/Grand Prix!
It probably is 🙃
However, I choose to believe it looks like it came out of an F430

I've really been practicing lately, I feel like my shifting is getting a bit smoother and I'm timing it better.
I can only hope that someday I'll stop grabbing the wrong paddle

Brian - You started this post on May 8th at 1:54 pm. This is well within business hours. I see our little chat didn't help. Please submit an action plan on how you will improve your behaviors by Saturday at noon. Include 5 short and long term goals that I will provide you with. We will circle back and connect in my office via talkbot.
Pete
Yeah, Brian.
I would like to see some sources for this action plan too.

God I miss reading Kill Stories on forums... Was always fun trying to decipher which were entirely made up, which were stolen from movies, and which ones even had "opponents" that knew they were racing the storyteller.

I made the mistake of test driving a '17 Alfa Romeo Giulia TI. Now I'm hopelessly enamored with it and must own one.
Red '17 Ti with the paddle shifters for $23k. 33mpg, factory warranty..

Thats a good possibility too. If it makes you feel any better in Wisconsin to get issued a rebuilt title you need to go through an inspection.
This one is located in Illinois, so I don't know exactly how that works here.
The more I think about it. He seems very open to offers as it's been listed for a while, but it looks clean for the age as most seem to have rusty hatches at this point in their lives.

My twin brother had one. They are cool but unfortunately FWD. His had a pulley reduction and a few other go fast bits too. Just dont forget. If it had a an accident in 2005 when it was 2 years old the accident was bad. Unlike if it was totaled a few months ago. Old cars get totaled out for nothing. New ones its usually a bigger hit.
I was thinking more along the lines of, it's been driven/owned by the same people for nearly 60k miles since the crash, it there were crash related issues they'd likely have dumped it much sooner. But, who knows without an inspection?

FBO = full bolt on. Down pipe, tune, exhaust, intake, etc. It's every power adder you can bolt on other than a new turbo. It's also on bc coilovers and a stage 3 clutch. It's pretty quick, makes good noise and a blast to toss.
Ah, makes sense! Is that your DD? I'd definitely be interested in trying it out, I remember even the stock supercharged version being an absolute blast to drive.

I can provide you with a test drive of a fbo r56 just lemme know when you're in the Waukesha area.
FBO? I'm guessing that's the turbo designation?
I found an 03 Cooper S with 73k, for $3400 OBO. Has a rebuilt title from an accident in 05 when it had 15k miles on it. Apparently front bumper and hood were replaced, so I'd have to really look it over and make sure it's driving w/o issues, same owner since they bought it after the repairs.

Do yourself a favor and buy an r56 with the turbo. Still cheap and more fun with the ability to make cheap power in a hilarious package.
I've got a couple of those saved on the ol bookface as well. So many cool options out there to play with.
I want to test drive a turbo option, I absolutely loved the supercharger whine on the one I used to drive frequently. A smaller pulley, intake, exhaust, removal of excess weight...om nom nom

I support this draining of the bank account. Find a 951 with a blown engine (won't be hard) and do something cool.
I'm trying to tell myself that I would get lucky and not purchase an absolute money pit, I have enough expensive hobbies as it is lol
The other one I keep thinking about is a supercharged Mini Cooper S. Ex had one and I thought it was a blast to drive
Garage Floor Epoxy vs floor tiles?

Good to know, I shall do more research into this polycuramine substance of which you speak.
I'd hate to go through all the work of doing this right, only to have it peel/chip up on me in the next couple years..
Those are the guys I was looking at. I could also save a little money by not doing the whole garage, but I think that'd end up looking pretty tacky..
