Post bikes

3rd for 125cc enough cc

You want to spend that much for scrap?

At least buy something you could sell at the end of your trip and get some money back.

Convertible SN95 GT or maybe even a foxbody would do you good

I'm planning on eventually selling it and heading to South America

My parents bought one, albeit a 2014 318d in Ireland so entirely different to your context.

I would just advise you to be aware of upkeep and maintenance costs, because the car isn't worth shit without extra money to keep it alive.

>>16946220
No you're not wrong but get a 4 series instead.
435 preferably, it's right in your price range.

>>16946250
There is no upkeep/maintenance with a certified pre owned BMW. I got 4 years of complimentary maintenance with mine. All servicing, fluids, etc was free. Even a $4,000 brake job was included.

Why the fuck would they switch

I hate the mini dash so goddamn much

They no longer would be obligated by the EU to use metric measurements. Thats what the whole common market deal with the EU made them do, but now that they're calling a quits, may as well go back to what made England well England.

I think it's s beautiful car but I wish that it had 4 doors on the sides. Because of this, I suggest the Volkswagen Golf GTI or the Mazda3 Hatchback.

Good luck.

OP here, safety is a pretty significant factor since I'm an EMT and can't stop obsessively worrying about the horrific shit i've seen

It's a Mazda3 in a Swedish suit and with half the doors. The T5 has that based 5-cylinder, but that's about it. Mazdaspeed3 may be a good alternative, but I hear it's got a ton of torque steer.

Kill yourself in their office

you could kill yourself. that would show him.

>>16945797

End your life in their main office with a shotgun. Would take weeks to get all of it out...

Someone probably has something to say about valets, so I'll just go ahead and say it.

Yes, we drive the cars fast. Even at an upscale joint, most of them are rentals anyways so nobody gives a fuck (for anyone wondering, Hyundai's are the rentals we get the most). When it's something halfway fun to drive, we drive it nice and slow while the person is still in earshot. As soon as they're inside or we're on the street, we'll drive it like we do everything else.

There's a few morons who like to drive fast in the garage, but the bosses don't care unless we do it in front of a customer or someone who actually has ranking in the hotel. As long as we don't actually crash the cars, they could care less.

If you give us the keys to a "cool" car (ie, Rolls Royce, Ferrari, Lambo, etc), we're actually not allowed to park in the garage and have to park out front where everyone can see it. Also so we don't get blamed for bullshit that's already on the car, which we get blamed for. If the top's down when we get it and you don't show us HOW to take it down, we're not going to bother because most likely we're balls deep in people trying to get their cars parked, so we'll put it in the garage and forget about it.

Uber drivers and cabbies are complete cunts. We only have so much space to put cars, and when they park halfway down the narrow ass drive to pick someone up it fucks us up. Cabbies are the worst because they'll take their sweet time. Surprisingly, the shuttle drivers from the airport are actually really decent.

>I hate people knowing that I can work on cars
>Try to tell extended family that I can't fix their cars because I don't have manufacturer specific special tools
>Get suckered into doing jobs for immediate family which isn't that bad, but obviously can't charge them full price
>And can not do the job, because them I am a dick
>Also the stingy jew in me doesn't want them to pay more elsewhere when I can take the money.

Anyways...

>Dad is horrible at maintaining cars
>Slave cylinder goes out
>Have to drop the tranny to get it out
>Didn't order a flywheel and didn't have time to get it worked because it was during a holiday and dad needed a car to work.
>Don't change the clutch
>6 months later, clutch is slipping...

Not to mention it leaks coolant, and has been ran dry for who knows how long. o2 sensor is out. I rather we just get rid of this POS with a new one, but dad wants me to fix it...

Fuuuu.....

Just a sorta-related aside. Did we ever get those stories LPG promised for christmas? Because now would be a perfect time for them.
