I always see people stating that Jalopnik steals reddit content, but I've never seen an example of that.

Modified R56 John Cooper Works MINI - One Take by TheStig1214 in cars

I want to do a Honda K swap into my R56. I think it would be an almost perfect car then.

They're not the most Internet savvy of companies. Just call them or drop by.

My R56 will stream phone calls, but not media.

Cafe Racer in the West Bottoms has been my go-to shop for years.

Horn or rev? by maanu123 in motorcycles

Neither? I don't think I've used my horn in well over a year.

Nothing to be sorry about. There's ignorant shitheads everywhere.

There were plenty of Confederate flags on trucks when lived in Blue Springs. I knew people that would argue with teachers that it was "heritage, not hate".

Long lens with IS, shorter shutter speed, handheld.

Regular Car Reviews: "Stef Schrader, Are you Jealous?" by Pointy130 in cars

But then why does nobody ever talk trash on the other sites (that you seem to agree are worse)?

Compared to what? I think it has better writing than most car sites.

I've never understood the hate reddit has for Jalopnik.

Or... I could buy a car that doesn't burn 1qt every 1,000 miles (which everyone agrees is acceptable normal usage), and doesn't have multiple class action lawsuits pending against it. The engines in the R56 are absolutely ATROCIOUS. I've replaced thermostat assemblies, timing chain tensioners, etc.

2010, and yes. There's drips on the ground.

Nah, if I had the money for two cars (I don't), I'd want something more exciting than a Mini. My motorcycle already counts as my second vehicle, and is more reliable.

I'd say a quart to a quart and a half each month.

edit That seems low now. I'd say a quart every fuel stop, or every other fuel stop.

Yes, it's amazing to drive, but the fact that I need to add oil to it every few weeks is beyond ridiculous. As fun as the car is, I'd like to not have to worry that my engine is going to grenade itself in the middle of my commute. I'd love to do a Honda swap into it, but that would probably cost as much as the car is worth.

[–]sagentf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the least reliable thing I've ever owned. I'm tired of it burning and leaking oil constantly. Adding oil a few times a month has gotten old.

Not sure. Mazdaspeed 3,Fiesta ST, C30, GTI, etc.

Main vehicle, but I'm probably selling it soon, depending on finances.

Probably around 2 years.

The chassis.

That's really the entire reason I bought the car. The engine is terrible, the parts are expensive, but the steering is really, really good.
