  1. No, not at all lol. I think they'd run you about $175 each, I'll PM you a quote tomorrow.
  2. She really wants to peg you with rambone? P.S. if you want new OEM pegs, hit me up. The 17s are dirt cheap for OEM wheels.
  3. Yeah, I was shocked how much they (and the TDRs they're on) changed the way my car feels in corners. You should be fine, just don't try a 235/40R18
  4. What size Kevin? Be aware they run kinda wide for their sizes, they'll rub really easily.
  5. You haven't driven around here on those 4 snow days... VDOT does basically nothing, secondary roads are barely touched and the primaries are covered in a salty/icy slush. I'm saving my all seasons on amaltheas for the winter.
  6. Wonder if they have trouble telling who's car is who's...
  7. HP numbers have nothing to do with it. And yeah, I'm bored...
  8. I know they exist, I just don't consider any vert to be worthy of an M badge.
  9. Real Z3Ms are a uniquely shaped pimpin' hardtop, son. (And oddly enough, all the Z3s are the same chassis as the 318ti...)
  10. I sneak in the last post on a page so people who are too lazy to go back don't see it... I'd take an S2k over a regular Z3, but not a Z3M... mainly due to my hatred for convertibles. I'd probably take a Z3M over a Z4M, but that's because I wouldn't mind fixing all the issues with the E36/8 chassis, mainly the issues with the E30 rear end it has... stock though, not wanting to touch anything, Z4M would be the way to go. But really, you can love something on paper and hate it when you drive it, or vice versa. You've got to get out and drive stuff.
  11. I didn't miss the point, you missed mine... each weapon has its own unique requirements in terms of "reflex control" and strength. The recoil characteristics of the specific weapon matter more than what type of fire control it has. I'd much sooner let a 9 year old fire a heavy fully automatic on a bipod (or vehicle mount) than let them fire a .454 single shot pistol. Why? Because one isn't going to go anywhere because it's too heavy for them or the recoil to lift off the bipod and the other is going to break their hands and face on the first shot. And you don't have to load a full magazine (or long belt) just because it's a machine gun. Load a machine gun with a single round and it's practically no different from a bolt action. Load it with 3 and it's a controllable little burst. But yes, you should always start a kid off on a single loaded .22LR rifle and work up from there. It does not have to be a single shot bolt or break action rifle, loading one round at a time in a semi-auto like a ruger 10/22 is just fine too. Darwin Awards, Nickelodeon Edition?
  12. Creepiest Nack Cage gif ever. Of course she does, she's a woman, they want a convertible so they bitch and moan about the ride, wind, stuff flying in, water leaking in and such...
  13. Ew, no, solid hardtop, no sunroof. I like my RWD hot hatchbacks to have some torsional rigidity. No, see above. Bahahaha... yeah, the volubishis are hideous. The 318ti can take the best M3 front end evar, an E36 6cyl is an easy swap and, of course, is RWD.
  14. I don't see that rear center console in the catalog at all... so I have no idea.
  15. Was probably a test driver who's already accustomed to making them do stuff like that
  16. I'd really love an S90 Royal... not sure if any came to north america.
  17. Full automatic isn't really the issue, too much recoil is. The micro uzi has not weight to absorb it at all. Semi-autos that kick hard can be equally dangerous, even a double action revolver with a really heavy trigger can be uncontrollable for inexperienced people (which is why when letting someone try a .44 magnum you only load one round at a time). Being automatic just compounds the recoil issue and allows it to get out of control before anyone can react. This would be fine for a young person, hardly kicks at all: As is this, because it's so heavy, it's not going anywhere...
  18. Not sure if he was replying to you or Kevin... but yeah, the K24 has a weird outlet that requires a clamped thingy.
  19. Her age has nothing to do with it. This was 100% the instructor's fault. You don't hand a full auto micro uzi to anyone who's not experienced, they're notoriously uncontrollable even for grown men. If they'd had her firing a .22LR converted AR-15 she'd have had no problem keeping it on target, even on full auto and everyone would have had a great time. In fact, I can not think of a worse gun to hand to someone who's shooting for the first time. Even a standard uzi would have been much better, they're heavier and cycle slower making them pretty controllable.
  20. Yeah, but then you'd have to wait a whole year. USPS flat rate it.
