There is no good CVT

You could buy one of Honda's CVTs.

The gist is that you send in a photo of your car and this just shops it for 5 bucks, quite a racket no?

The Explorer is of questionable usefulness to me. It can't offroad as well as its predecessors and it's as slow as a squad car from the 1990s.

Nice try Ford.

My last car was a Toyota and my current one a Ford. I am not brand loyal and would freely consider vehicles from other brands. That being said, when I went to buy new I found the way Honda sells cars (buy it or leave it with packages and no checkboxes for individual options) which is one of the reasons I didn't buy an Accord. There are also brands I would definitely avoid (Chrysler, GM, Kia).

I found this infuriating, sorry for the incomplete thought.

I also like that I was able to buy another two proximity keys for my Ford on ebay for $44/each new and program them to my car myself to have four keys total. Toyota and Honda don't generally have on board programming which means getting keys is $$$. Compared to the price of buying a car new this is a marginal expense though, and it wouldn't be a major factor in my purchase decision.

One advantage of switching car brands is that if you buy a similar vehicle in class (e.g. I had a Camry, and bought a Fusion), I was able to get $1,000 competitive conquest cash AND I was able to stack it with an $1,000 previous ford owner credit (If someone in the household has the last name as you and bought a ford, you can get the dealer to apply the competitive owner credit applied to your purchase in VINCENT). Ford also lets you get X-Plan (dealer invoice minus 0.6%, no haggle) through membership in the mustang owner's club of america, although it takes 60 days of membership before you get a PIN (better if you know you're going to buy a car ahead of time rather than replacing something lost in an accident). That price is before any financing or cashback incentives, which means you can get a pretty good deal.

I don't know what I will buy for my next car. I'm looking to hold on to my current one for five to ten years, and that's ages in the modern car market.

Either something fuel efficient (fuck 16mpg premium lol) or a truck.

Well cops probably won't bother you much, where I am whenever I see an e36/e46 M3 cabriolet it is driven by a woman.

If you've got the auto you won't be going so quick either.

In other words, you'll be able to enjoy your vert without being shot or peppersprayed or tased.

Also to note the cabriolet M3s are quite heavier, and I think they have different suspension.

wear something slutty and hope a guy will pull over and do it for her?

Is this constant sex innuendo and implications of girls not being able to do anything sarcasm, comedy, or actual bitterness and anger? I honestly can't tell.

>Whiny girl whines while performing a basic task

As an engineer, I work with women who can do absolutely incredible things, create stunning parts that are way beyond the grasp of the majority of the population. The thing the best of the best have is a positive outlook - never claiming the victim card and working ceaselessly to improve themselves.

Trying not to be seen as a /pol/ leak, but immature shit like this needs to be stopped.

Global Rally Cross is video game racing come to life. It's crazy watching these 400hp all wheel drive cars thrash around a track with a couple of jumps, and a mix of concrete and dirt driving. It's insanity.

Also, will be my second car, and first BMW. So just general E39 / late 90s-early 2000's BMW ownership stories / problems thread I guess.

Toyota has a dipstick

I would pick up an LCI 540i if your budget allows it. They're fairly rare but if they don't get much worse mileage than the 535i and you're still putting premium in (or atleast you should you cheap fuck). So any car other than a corolla is gonna be worse for you money. But you buy BMW because you enjoy driving and if thats worth the extra cost then by all means

If I don't end up getting another 2500hd Chevy or GMC, I'm looking at possibly getting a 2016 GMC Canyon with the 2.8L Duramax diesel or a recent Toyota Tacoma with the 3.5L and manual transmission. What are y'alls thoughts on these options?

What do you guys think, should I make an offer.
