The community is 100 percent better over here. The jury is still out on the quality however. The Sentra was bullet-proof while I owned it. It even had the original clutch after 187k miles and...

Very nice car! Although I love my ti, I am still sad about selling my 91 Sentra SE-R, which I owned for six years. The ti is different (and a bit slower), but you'll like it. Just keep the revs up!

That said, I do like FWD cars. Of the ones on...

Mine will likely be for sale soon. I have too many cars. The suspension, as it is set-up now, probably would not work well on the streets of Boston. This is the car in my sig. Overall it's in very...

If you have a naturally aspirated M42/44 with an automatic transmission, you are not hitting 60 in the 7-8 sec. range. Go out and test it with a G-Tech (which is optimistic anyways) and then let us...

I had a black car with a factory black plastic spoiler (not BMW) and the spoiler faded quite a bit while the rest of the paint was fine. Just happens with plastics.
