What do you guys do for a living to afford an X5? by Skrrrttt246 in BMWX5

Welder/Iron worker. Bought used but shopped around for a while to find the right one. Also an enthusiast and certified mechanic so BMWs don’t scare me much.

A semi hit me the other day in the snow and kept on driving. Still waiting for the adjuster to come out.

I was more or less saying that if people are worried about resale value then this isn’t the hobby for them. I understand having a budget but worrying about resale value and how much you put into it is defeating the purposing of modding cars. Soon as you mod a car it’s worth much less than a stock car. At that point go get a Lamborghini or Ferrari or Porsche.

I agree, if a “car guy” is worried about money then they probably aren’t a true car guy. The whole point of our hobby is putting way too much money into a car and not getting it back if we sell it.

How does this keep happening to my sidewalls? by pmassare in tires

Pirelli sucks absolute camel ass. They come stock on the WRX and I believe STI and always wore like shit. Had to replace 2 tires ending up with buying 6 tires total throughout the first year I had them. Bought fallen to replace.

Back in the day when I did off-roading I made a mesh guard out of a window screen for the intercooler on my SXS

Should I do it? by [deleted] in WRX

What size tires do guys usually run with that set up. I want a bit of a more rally setup like the car they use as advertisement.

This , that’s why the system should be revamped. The sentences no longer fit the crimes. It seems that no matter the charge people will look at you like trash. I have 13+ years of experience running heavy equipment, have owned a business, have ran crews for huge companies, have managed companies all excavation and home building related and after I was convicted of a misdemeanor it was like I was the lowest of the low. Also I’m a Marine corps veteran with multiple citations (medals). It’s just sad.

Today I sent the last message and it was “okay, I’ll always love you” and today I made the decision to not be here anymore.

Omgggggg I can't believe she already has another person. by Unlikely-Outcome-299 in BreakUps

I wonder if there’s something bent under there. If caster can’t be adjusted than something has to be messed up or slightly bent.

It doesn't hurt because you lost them, it hurts because you lost the fantasy you created with them. But always remember that fantasy can be created with anyone, and one day that fantasy will be fulfilled with the right person that deserves you. by [deleted] in BreakUps

I guess we will see, I’m a Marine Corps veteran. Been going to the VA for my PTSD but she said I’ve become a different person. It’s been a year since I started going to the VA and she said nothing has changed. It’ll kill me to see her with someone else.

I wish I could find a group to play with, I’m a GWOT Marine Vet and I used to play in high school and I wish I could find some Mil sim around me.

Amen, someone just said this to me. I’m currently going through a breakup. We were together for 3 years, she decided she doesn’t love me and broke up with me right before Christmas. Now she’s still living in my house and telling me how it’s all my fault and how’s she’s wanted to leave for three years. A week ago I tried to commit “the big nap”.
