Was it rusty?

 

Never saw it, but I can see the resemblance. I definitely heat my home with burning piles of money.

 

That's enough

 

We have pecans for sure; I chose to use pistachios a few times in dishes we had to use nuts in.

Think one or two chocolate deserts did call for pecans but the instructor made it *optional*.

Had to look up persimmon pudding; that looks good

 

Hmm. I have no idea if that’ll run on my laptop.

 

@Wulf runs it windowed, 640x480 on a 4:3 HP monitor you'll be fine

 

The lowness saved it from its crossoverness

Autocross version would just be the soccermomobile

 

They’re so beautiful though. I'd just have to check the rad for CO and make sure it stays cool on the highway if I were looking at another one. As long as the cooling system is ok and it doesn't knock or smoke, I can deal with the other stuff as it comes I figure.

 

*broken knock sensor plug, broken nipple for coolant bypass hose, and leaking PHH have entered the chat*

 

Its a hard design to like, its a pretty visually loud wagon. I still like the Alpina B3 and other wagons more. They can be a bit soccormom-ish as well though.
One cool thing BMW does is the rear hatch glass opens separately from the door if you want. I wouldn't mind having that feature.

 

Mine actually didn't have any of those issues. The rad had just been replaced and the PHH had been done at some point. Compression was kinda low though at around 120 PSI on average. Probably worn rings. Bottom end and HG still seemed good though. No heavy metals or K in the oil analysis. I'm thinking about trying to buy it back from the guy I traded it to lol.

 

I wouldn't.

I would pursue all that other stuff you talked about, traveling, career, etc.

Of course if you do buy it back, or a different one, we'll gladly answer whatever questions you have but know we'll be giving you a ton more shit knowing you won't get it done anyway

 

@treyus30 Alpina is clean.

 

Fucking love that feature. One of the reasons I loved my 4R. One thing I would love on my Golf.

 

Yea honestly getting into 4x4s has set up me back financially for years. I try to deny it to myself but it's the truth. At least I'm making more money now in my new job, which is going well btw. I'm still not exactly swimming in cash, but it's a good start. If I was really smart I'd sell the Tacoma and buy an old Camry, then invest the difference to try and recoup some of my losses incurred throughout the past several years. But I'm not that smart.

 

Any known way of tapping the oil pressure reading on the stock Taco?

 

Eh. It takes a lot to sell me on a BMW and that ain't it haha

 

You're on TW; we're all fighting a losing battle

 

As much as I liked my Cruiser, I wouldn't buy another one anytime soon. It just wouldn't get used the way it should. I'm happy I had one for a while though. If I ever relocate...different story maybe.
