1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Oh right yea sorry. It seems like a great community on there.

 

KC-135s were circling around it on Flight Aware earlier (refueling other aircraft I assume) which I find hilarious.

Accept no substitutes.

 

Okay, done priming until it's time to do the front frame

 

Yeah my dad just too it to the mechanic every time it broke than I started fixing it than he sorta just let me have it, I drive it and buy its parts than replace them when they break so I guess it's mine now

It's a 2009 528i from what I understand it's the last year usdm 5 series models were made in Germany

Hasn't given any extensive or expensive trouble, you can tell its made with good materials by people who cared about it

230k and still strong as ever, does 140 mph like nothing though it needs all new suspension as it's sagging and wearing the tires uneven

As for my dad's 2019 frontier

It was a great truck if you didn't subjectively care objectively it was great... tons of power, comfy ride, decent handling,... bad turning radius ,boring Interior from 2005, and a frame that jiggled like jello over railroad tracks... overall a great deal for the 19k he paid for a new truck in 2019

Than some fuckwad in a chevy 2500 with no license or insurance t boned it, my dad's insurance covered the repair but the frame was bent and the new guy must have straightened it cause it was fucked despite looking like nothing had happened

So in short order it found its way on the certified pre owned Nissan lot for a brand new pro4x frontier which is much nicer in every regard compared to a 3rd gen taco and overall a damn good little truck but it was like 45k

 

That N52 engine is very good and so is the ZF trans. The water pump was made and located on the lower pass side of the block by Satan himself though

 

After I realized it was a real story, that was my immediate thought lol

 

Traditional chinglish, they mispelt gristle, it's animal tendon/by products

 

My dad has had the previous and current body style

I don't think the new body style is worth double the price the old ones run

But if you had to choose an off the lot midsize the frontier kicks the tacomas ass

 

The $6 or $8 injectors I bought for my 3rz 4 runner way back when i got it had the audacity to come in fake toyota boxes

 

@eon_blue Here's a husky pup.

 

I've said before I hate when people put up "local" ads for cars across the country, but I do enjoy some of the cars.

This one's in Puyallup, WA, posted in Colorado.

At least the asking price isn't insane.

If Gene Simmons was a dog

 

I can go drive down and look at if you want. Puyallup is only about 30min drive depending on traffic

 

I'd love to drive it for a day, maybe a week, but I have no desire to actually own it.

You should go test drive it just for fun.

 

He is very cute, how does he do with the little one BTW
