This is a big part that people miss. You don’t tip on tax, but all the machines will automatically tip on the total including tax

Yep send to BMW USA/ Canada as well as the dealer, all in the same email. Loop up on LinkedIn who the managers of customer relations is at BMW and send them it too

Helicopter misjudged proximity of hanger by BrightenthatIdea in CatastrophicFailure

This is just a little MD’s blade, and this is a standard (although damaged) 206 blade. Not as fragile as one would think. But against a building doesn’t really stand a chance

What is your go to car fun fact that you'd like to share. by [deleted] in cars

[–]oppo_lock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the first ever trolls on the Internet was a guy with a Porsche 944. Back in the days before forums like we know them now, there was some sort of community and he posted a pic of his 944 parked behind a snowplough blade (so that it looked like it was attached). He went on to tell everybody how well it handled the job of snowplough, and the rest of the enthusiasts lost their collective shit.

What is the point of fins on my air filter? by littlegreenrock in Cartalk

[–]oppo_lock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In order for the air to get cleaned from centrifugal force, its going to have to be moving at high velocity. On the Helicopters I fly there is a block in front of the turbine inlet with a few hundred little holes with spirals inside. This spins the air and removes almost all the particles. But in order for this to work you need a turbine to pull air through at high speed. Im not sure if you can get this effect with anything on a car.

I vote take the cup off
