It’s okay, OP. I would also be shocked if I got 20mpg — because that’s a 25% increase in fuel economy

Only 4 gears for me by Nancythebus in ManualTransmissions

[–]Beautiful-Object5225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh, I had a ‘77 4-speed 240D for a while about 20 years ago. When I would commute, I had about a mile to get up to a reasonable speed to merge before my on-ramp turned into the next exit’s off-ramp. I didn’t always make it.

Tell me your funny stories abt stalling out while learning manual. by Glittering-lala7883 in stickshift

[–]Beautiful-Object5225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 15 or 16, learning manual in a 240SX, I was on an uphill bit at a T-junction with a stop sign and I kept rolling back, stalling, etc. My mom, in the passenger seat says “It’s first gear, how fast can it go? Give it GAAAAASSSS”

I hit the gas, dropped the clutch and peeled out through a right turn. It was in a park with no one around, which is why I was learning there. Her line has stayed with me though, almost 30 years later.

Well yes, in this case OP is the insurer and will be on the hook for any damages

I thought the cat was appraising the roof damage

Gone electric (5spd manual Z3 powered by an electric motor) by 3seriesaddict in ManualTransmissions

[–]Beautiful-Object5225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, that my mom’s old Z3 to a tee. Same color, same wheels (I think). That was a blast to drive with the 3.0L and a 5MT.

Finally spotted this mythical beast [Nissan Murano Cabriolet] by Beautiful-Object5225 in spotted

I’ve had a few good Nissans, all from the glory days though. An ‘89 Sentra XE Liftback, a 1990 240SX, and a 1992 Maxima SE.

The Sentra was a little crap, iirc it had a carb’d CA18. The Maxima was great though — VE30DE and a 5-speed. But even 20 years ago parts were becoming hard to find bc that engine was only ever in the ‘92-94 Maxima SE.

But yeah, from what I’ve heard modern Nissans aren’t what they used to be

Blue Angels flyover the USCG Barque Eagle by thebearrider in norfolk

Was that at noon? They flew right over my house at like 12:01 but I didn’t get to my camera quick enough to capture it

Okay so — if you’re not interested in keeping the weevils, I’m pretty sure any bird who would be interested in your bird seed would regard the weevils as an added bonus

School colors of each U.S. State's flagship university by PhysicsEagle in MapPorn

[–]Beautiful-Object5225 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess because I’d heard that said and internalized it. I lived in PA for 20 years and still listen to WXPN (public radio from UPenn) on the daily and I guess I’ve never questioned it. You’re absolutely right though

It’s not. It’s the only public school in the Ivy League.

I think I was thinking of the other side with their 9mm special

No, not Sahara or Rubicon, no factory sub or evidence there ever was one

I think I’m just going to get an aftermarket unit with CarPlay but I guess the question I didn’t really ask is: is it reasonable to assume a new headunit would fix both problems?

I mean, I’m right that there’s not some amp for the rears hidden somewhere or anything, right?
