Wagon Stoke

[Norseman]

lol, dunno. Continue beating the shit out of it? Drive the GT when I want to feel fancy? Might give it away. It'll probably outlive the GT, having the built block etc.

I've got garage space
Nice find on the new ride

[Norseman]

Well, it is still a shitbox Subaru.

I can feel the e-scoffs of the Fraulein-humpers already.

[simple]

I've got a spare power window module for when yours fails

Another nice thing about that generation is it was right before traction control was standard.

Hey now.

Woah, M3 Touring may be in the cards for the US:

Then again, in the worst design era for Munich since Bangle, is an M3 Touring worth it with a face like this?

Hopefully not....that front bumper is terrible!

I thought I read somewhere they confirmed it today? https://www.topgear.com/car-news/can...been-confirmed

If the front end isn’t attached to it as currently proposed, this is hot.

Every time a cool performance wagon/hatch gets introduced every article says it may come to the US but it never does. I like seeing a few new wagons trickle into the US but M3 wagon will never come here. BMW knows dumb Americans would rather a top heavy X3 or X5 with M badges to impress their neighbors.

[liv2ski]

Yup, pretty annoying.

No. No, no, no and fuuuck no. What in the actual fuck?

While driving over the Ravenel Bridge in Charleston this week I couldn't help but look down and see the ocean of BMW X cars and crossovers being loaded on to ships to be sent overseas.

[not my pic]



It's not just dumb Americans craving these bloated crossovers and SUVs. I read that the Port of Charleston has moved over 2,000,000 of these things from BMW alone. Add in all the Volvo SUVs being shipped out of the same port and that's a crapload of non wagon stoke export.

that head gasket will blow any day now...... my 05 only lasted 50k.

looks like a nice score.

I took my 05 2.5i into the dealer yesterday for the airbag recall fix. It’s head gaskets have leaked for a few years and all the dash lights are going. Service advisor “Tucker,” eyeing thousands in repairs on a beater, scratched his head as I explained I didn’t give a shit as I just putter it around town. Just crossed 199k, just gotta get me one more thousand...

But wait, you don’t want them blindly replacing parts until they finally hit on the one that turns of the Check Engine light?

Pffft, small piece of black electrical tape over CEL, problem fixed

[bagtagley]

X2 on the color, Norse. That’s one of the finest looking Subarus of all time IMO.

X3. I had the NA version of that car in the lighter blue. I always wanted the darker blue with a turbo, aka Norse's car.

Yeh or neh?

I had the 2011 XC70 T6 with that same interior. Great car and such a nice place to be inside. Those seats are the best ever made. Went like stink too.

[HankScorpio]

Almost a month into a new V60 CC and I'm so happy Volvo still makes these here. The interior, the seats, all the tech - only nitpick it the 8 speed transmission is quite slow to the DSG in our old VW Alltrack. The T5 engine is torquey and gets the job done nicely but that Polestar upgrade is tempting.......

Ha! Yes, I had electrical tape over the CEL and other lights for the last few years. I pulled it off before dropping at the dealer, so as not to look as crusty as I am. Promptly replaced once I got home

Can't pass smog in California with CEL on.

I really like the front end of redesigned V/X fleet. That wagon also is the nads, saw one IRL the other day, sweet lines.

It's a pretty car, inside and out. The non-CC V60 is a real beauty but those are special order only (according to the dealer) here in NE. The V60 with the T6 motor is real sleeper.
