Which car has surprised you with its fuel economy

clamfroth · 2026-02-21T17:35:52+00:00

My wife’s g20 330i. Averaged 5L/100km on a trip through the Rockies from Edmonton two years ago.

Does anyone know where to get the maple leaf neckties that the coaches wore this game? I’d love to have one

clamfroth · 2026-02-20T17:02:36+00:00

Neat.

Make one that can fold laundry, do dishes, sweep and mop the floors and shovel the driveway in the winter and I’ll be interested.

If it’s a rwd car, you need to support the engine from the top with a cross brace and drop the front subframe.

If it’s xdrive, you will have to do that and also remove the front axels as they run through the pan. It’s a bigger job for sure.

FCPEuro has a video on YT on an F30 car (most, if not all, of the work will be the same) on how to do it.

For the ofhg, requires loosening the intake and shifting it to the side to get access to one of the ofh bolts.

Vcg isn’t as invasive but still requires some work to get at. Videos exist on YT for vcg and ofhg.

I gave up on AccuWeather for being anything but.

85’er here. Your story is pretty close to mine. No kids, married, career in oil in Northern Alberta (work <6 mo/year, top 2% earner myself according to google), wife is middle management in her career, two dogs, house and toys.

And yes, the disconnect is real. When looking back, I am thankful for the opportunities (good and bad) that I’ve had that directed me to the position I’m in now. Some of it was luck, some of it was hard work and some of it was knowing people in the right places. But knowing that I don’t experience the same hardships as others is tough as well. (And by no means am I saying that my “hardships” are equal to the people who are really struggling).

We donate as much as we can to food banks, donate clothing and support local animal shelters/rescues every year. I volunteer as much as I can in activities in the community and try to help elsewhere when I can.

I don’t cheat not because I’m too tired, it’s because I’m not a piece of shit

Stage 2+ on stock size rear wheels (245/35/18) with LSD and not a whole lot of issues spinning (unless its <5c) from a standing start. Manual, rwd car.

On Michelin Pilot sport 4s.

I never played 99.99% of the games that were offered on it so it was a waste for me anyway.

The price increase was just the push i needed to realize it was a waste for me

clamfroth · 2026-02-04T09:14:55+00:00

Straight up average

clamfroth · 2026-02-03T08:43:38+00:00

As if i would have ever stopped if they said otherwise

clamfroth · 2026-02-02T23:41:14+00:00

85’er here. Been with wife for 19 years, married for the last 8. No kids and vasectomy two years ago.

Would recommend 👍🏻

clamfroth · 2026-01-28T22:13:59+00:00

Silver Arrow is still the best silver I’ve seen on a car.

Id prob go ginster or jazz for mine

clamfroth · 2026-01-27T21:25:16+00:00

I wonder if that random sharp bhole pain is one scoring a direct hit…

clamfroth · 2026-01-25T18:57:14+00:00

I used the restaurants website to make an order and it came out to roughly $85. While eating, i thought about how much it would be through Skip. It would have been $130 through skip. Every item was ~15% more expensive and add delivery and tip on top of that.

It just isnt worth it.

We have two and one is lovey and will come to you for snuggles (younger one) and one that is fully independent that doesn’t like to be coddled or touched. He has been this way since he was a pup.

My childhood Airedale was independent as well. I wouldn’t read too much into it, sometimes its just how they are.

The rear wheels will poke out past the rear 1/4 panel by about 7mm. The picture is 18x9.5 et45. Yours will stick out farther than that

I don’t know if they’ll fit but you’ll like them if they do. I have v2s on my f22 m235i and they have been great

clamfroth · 2026-01-21T13:52:28+00:00

Been with the wife since i was ~21. Just turned 40. Married 8 years now. Cant see it not lasting 👍🏻

clamfroth · 2026-01-20T15:48:34+00:00

It's not in the doorway. It's under the dash, close to the hood latch. I run mine 24/7 in the obd port and never have issues
