Where my serious mechanic br/o/s at? This is a long question but I'm only asking because google didn't tell me what I want to know.
I'm rebuilding the Ford 8.8 axle under my Wrangler after a catastrophic carrier failure. Basically I removed a lot of the carrier from the housing with a magnet. I'm replacing everything in it and got the new bearing races tapped in a while ago. I took the old pinion bearings and used a sanding drum on a Dremel to open up the I.D. so they'll slide on and off the pinion instead of pressing on, thus I can take them on and off quickly and use them to get the pinion depth set up. Now I bought a new set of Ford Racing 4.56 r&p's for this and a Ratech Pinion Depth tool to help get the depth set. I have the pinion held into place without a crush sleeve and the pinion nut tightened down enough to give some rotation resistance. The tool is placed against the end of the pinion head with the arm resting against the axle tube face. You then stick a caliper through the hole and measure the distance to the surface where the carrier bearing race goes. With a little arithmetic, you are supposed to be able to calculate the pinion depth very closely (within a few thousandths) and determine how much shimming, if any, is needed.

What I've run into is this.. I've got run-out in the pinion head. I have no idea if this is normal or acceptable and don't know whether I should proceed. I gently cleaned up the face of the pinion head with ultra fine sandpaper to make sure there were no high spots before putting it in. I placed the tool up tight against the face and began to take the measurements. I rotated the head numerous times and measured to make sure it was the same every time, what I found was that the measurements varied by at least .030"
I repeated this several times to make sure and got the same result each time. In an attempt to see the run-out, I backed the nut off just enough to let the gear spin freely and then spun it by hand as fast as I could. Based on the shiny face, I could see a bit of side to side movement at the tips of the teeth, but don't see it anywhere but the face. It's almost as if the whole gear runs true but the face is not perfectly perpendicular. If that were the case it wouldn't have any effect on the performance of the gears.
Basically my question is this. Should this be considered a big red flag that indicates a possible problem with the gears? If not is there another way to easily determine the pinion depth, possibly based on the old gear? It was a different brand but had a .030" shim on it. If that won't work, do I just bite the bullet and move on with the install to the point where I can use marking compound to check the pattern and determine if the depth needs adjusted from there?

Buick: boring, but nice. Cheap parts, good gas mileage, brand new tires
BMW: fun, but expensive. Expensive parts and service, worse gas mileage, exemplifies my virginity
I would be paying in cash so financing is not involved. My heart says the BMW, but my brain says Buick (China loves the shit out of the Buick; parts everywhere).
I know /o/ will make fun of both the cars, but if anyone with some experience with either vehicle could help me out, I would appreciate it.
Is the BMW inherently a bad idea? I've always avoided post-80's BMW since I've heard of their reliability issues.

Why are 2002ish eclipse GT so cheap? Is there something wrong with the cars themselves or a major component that fails?

16 years for cars and 20 for bikes.
2 accidents. Hydroplaned when I was 16 in a prelude and clipped a guard rail on a bridge. Second one was a year ago, some lady SLAMMED on her brakes in front of my loaded down work truck. I slammed on mine but the little car stopped WAY faster than the work truck. Not bad, but fucked up my bumper.
tickets: god, 20?
About 40 so far and 6 or 7 motorcycles. Not including the shop cars me and my partner have owned.

Driving 4 years
No accidents
1 ticket from a fucking stupid cop having a slow day. I've parked on this same spot near my home with no problems for 4 years, until this fucked cop comes and says I was parked 7 feet from a fire hydrant (must be 15 feet). 150 dollar ticket.

About that second accident... What did insurance say about that? Just curious. Did your rate go up?
Its always the case with insurance companies that if you hit anyone from the back you're always at fault no matter what.

Why do car companies use V6s and V8s for large displacement engines when I4 engines get much more power / liter ?
For example the Honda F20C 125hp/L
The Mustang 5.0 V8 only makes 85HP/L,
If you scaled up the F20Cto 5L it would be making over 600HP.
So why don't auto makers build large displacement 4cyl engines ?
