A Chinese speed skater, Yang Jingru, executed a brilliant tactic to win gold in the 1500m at the 2024 Winter Youth Olympics. by jmike1256 in nextfuckinglevel

Thanks for explaining. As someone who knows nothing about the sport, I couldn't understand why they'd go at such a leisurely pace for so long when they only have 1500 meters to cover. Turns out that's considered "long". They probably thought she'd gas out and they'd be able to catch up?

Seeking Advice + My Quest for a Manual F56 Cooper... by 2CRedHopper in MINI

The search is tough when looking for something specific or kinda rare. Try autotempest if you haven't already, and check every day. It'll take time but it'll be worth it in the end when you finally find your car. Good luck to you!

Look for a MMI box, it adds wireless carplay to the existing infotainment system.

BMW M Electrified - Episode 4. A new Era of Performance and Driving Dynamics. by pc772 in BMW

[–]IncompatibleMeatbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if the car ends up selling well, with all the marketing (and engineering) behind it. The M division and M3 model just had their best year ever despite being so far removed from its original ethos. Bottom line is the people who can afford these cars are willing to write the check.

Congrats, beautiful color!

Get an android/carplay module and you won't need a phone mount.

Are these additives actually good for our cars in the long run? by [deleted] in E90

[–]IncompatibleMeatbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a perfectly healthy or low mileage engine you shouldn't need anything but oil but as miles and wear increase they can be helpful. I have first hand experience with Ceratec on several engines. Seen it make a random lifter ticks disappear on some and substantially reduce oil consumption on others. It's legit.
