how bad of an idea would it be to get one of these as a daily driver? i don't have my own business, but i'd rather have the large cargo area than more seats that i won't use.

Not bad at all. I daily a Ford Transit 250 right now which is only slightly bigger than a Connect. I would recommend getting the Transit if you can. Higher seating position, more cargo space, and you already have the rails and brackets in place to add seats if you want to down the road. Fuel economy will be worse (14/18) but you can get either the 3.7L V6 which is pretty good or you can go with the EcoBoost in which case you're putting 320 hp/400 torque to the wheels on a plumbers van which is p. cool.

Yes
The only non-M one that is is the E92 335i though
>>
>>17165360
E46 330Ci tho
>>
Yes, but you need to get a 335, debadge it, plastidip a few parts, buy some bolt ons, have gauged ears, an annoying exhaust, and pray that people actually mistake it for an M car
God fucking damn it, /o/. Not only are all my captchas select all vehicles, one of them has /o/'s ACTUAL meme car, the AE86. Will this shit ever get a fucking rest? I hate looking at this fucking car.

Considering doing a rotary swap on my shitbox just because. Renesis engine and transmission packages go for $1500 or less while 13bs are $2000+ for the engine only (from a cursory search on eBay). I wouldn't be looking to boost it to the moon, only 300-350hp maaaaaybe 400 if I'm feeling frisky and it would get a full rebuild and upgrade before installation as well as the usual preventatives like premixing. Does the renesis a shit meme stem from the same general rotary unreliability Because no one knew how to into rotaries meme or are they genuinely that God awful?

Hey guys! Im a genius! I vroom vroom with the best of them. Im going to put a rotary engine in my car on a whim. Haha isnt that funny!?
Im a pretty wacky guy and would love it if you shoved a finger up my exhaust pipe haha! I wonder what that would smell like. Oh man guys I'm getting off topic. So I want a minimum of like 300 hp from this but also maybe 400?(??:3). I like Renesis so much because it reminds me of what I name my dildo.

>>17165134
The renesis can make 350 hp with proper mods, check forum builds

Automotive entertainment.
I know there is a flood of these on youtube and shit and more than 90% of them suck ass.
Here's the thing. A friend of mine contacted me out of the blue saying he needs a cinematographer. I'm an award winning guy and we used to do stupid shit years ago so he wanted me to be "his guy."
He is a professional mechanic and wants to make a show that challenges a variety of things. World records, street events, attend rally's, etc.
As a car enthusiast, I'm totally on board.
Here's the catch. I've just lost my job after a company removed my position and eliminated a lot of people along with me. I have a bit of a savings to work from, but I'm not making any money right now and if I were to shoot his show, I'd have to invest about $10k into it for cameras and accessories to film it the way we want to do it. I have that, but my concern is the return on investment.
He wants a youtube channel. I want him to think bigger and make a website. So he says, fine, I can do all that. Problem is this. I know a lot of people make money online through their own entertainment sites, but I don't know how. I've helped hundreds of people do it but I've never been able to myself. Lets say we have 12 episodes a season, and 2-3 seasons a year. Each year that's 24-36 episodes.
I have no doubt in my mind the show would be "awesome" and properly entertaining. My concern is if it is worth a good paycheck? I was making about $4000 a month working full time. I'd like the site to make about $12k a month minimum so each of us have a good paycheck and we can return some money for future episodes.
He will be funding all the first season episodes himself. After that, he won't have money for season 2.
Is this doable? Will I be able to find sponsors and national ads to pay for the show? How do I make money off of this? I know it is possible. Top Gear did it. /Drive does it, and so many other youtube sites do it. How can I?

>He will be funding all the first season episodes himself.
So, why are you paying for the cameras? Make him buy or rent them. Unless you or him have an established audience/fanbase you're probably not going to make shit. If you do, you're still probably not going to make shit.
>>
If it's some half baked "vlog" dude bro channel then no one except for normal fags want to see it
>is this doable
Yes but it won't be fun and you're taking a huge gamble
>Will I be able to find sponsors and national ads to pay for the show?
Probably whatever youtube will give you until you can actually get any serious attention from the automotive world
>How do I make money off of this?
You probably won't. Welcome to being an artist
>Top Gear did it
Top Gear was a radio show, that was a TV show later on. That was funded by the BBC and was a cultural phenomenon before Clarkson, Hammond and James were there.
The Grand Tour could have been a flop but they were banking on the fact that it had those three men.
>>
>>17165039
He is paying for the car related stuff. I'll handle the camera equipment.
>>17165047
So what is the process then to get audience then advertising money/sponsorships? Is it as simple as saying "We get XX,XXX views per video and would like some support." ??? How do I price out what to get? How do I say this month's advertising costs $5000? Or this video advert is $1000 a week, etc?

Why does Subaru keep making Boxer engines?
Is it just a case of 'why stop now' or is there something about the way they make cars that dictates the need for flat-4/6 engines?
