  1. $325.00 oil change???

    Thank you.
  2. $325.00 oil change???

    Which dealer? Paul Miller quoted me $289 for an oil change and the car has to be dropped off overnight.
  3. What do you do for a living?

    I did. Retired for 18 years. Have kept the car stock and dealer serviced so far. Never any issue.
  4. What Made You Choose Your Car?

    At the beginning, in 1977, in Cali, there was the 1976 BMW 2002 and the sickness took hold, followed en suite by 1981 Alfa Romeo GTV6+, SaabTurbo, BMW735i, BMW E34, BMW 1988 E39, BMW 01 E39, BMW E90 335i, then a 996 C4S then a 997 C2S convertible. When my mechanic advised me that the engine in...

  6. Salvage & Wrecked Supra Registry

    Wonder whether anyone has kept a running total so far. For a "new" car that is a lot!
  7. Front collision avoidance system.

    " Follow the manual and you will find the way... " Tku. I will try.
  8. Front collision avoidance system.

    Thank you, all for the "constructive" advice. Perhaps, I should explain myself better: I have had the dashboard go Red and the brakes applied 3 times on the highway when in my judgement it was not warranted...The experience was quite unsettling, to say the least, and so I searched and adjusted...
  9. Front collision avoidance system.

    Please constuctive answers only.
  10. Front collision avoidance system.

    I don't know if this has been covered before: is there a way of shutting down the auto braking font collision avoidance system perhaps through bimmercode? It is not only annoying but I find it a bit dangerous. Any help?
  11. Previous 2 Cars

    2005 Carrera C4S 2009 Carrera S cabriolet. I don't miss them...well maybe just a bit, the cab. The preventive maintenance was heavy.
  12. What is weird with this forum.

    Xtreme, I get you. I am not a natural and I hate to admit it. It has taken me literally years of training and talking to experienced people to even begin to understand what REAL car driving is about. My story is a bit convoluted as I first really learned about car handling on a business trip to...
  13. What is weird with this forum.

    I don't think these are "sour grapes", just a dose of reality. I went for a drive today on 280 West in NJ at abt 1:30 p.m, outside of the Mom's pickup time and b4 rush hour. I have 2 tell u that I had a hard time staying at a steady 75mph. US roads are so clogged nowadays that it is nary...

    If I'm gonna get kicked out over this, then I don't want to be a member of a group that does not accept non pc opinions. So, screw you if you want to kick me out. It only shows how narrow minded you are!
  15. What is weird with this forum.

    More excitement: " I beat car XXX on XXX freeway on on onramp". Geez, people, car driving is a lot more than 0-60, 1/4 mile and freeway onramp races. Go drive a Miata, a manual old P-car, A2001 530i manual, a Porsche 2011 PDK, an old BMW 320i.
  16. What is weird with this forum.

    See, this is what i'm talking about. This guy is real. I can and do understand and indeed sometime envy the single mindedness of a tuner and his goals. What I have an issue with is the all or nothing mindset on this freakin' forum: either you tune or you're a nothin' mindset. I bet any of you...
  17. What is weird with this forum.

    Like you, I own the car. So I'm entitled as much as you do! Plus I'm a member so i can post my opinion. So, screw you if you don't like it! Nothing personal, though!
  18. What is weird with this forum.

    I have this thing about a car fulfilling all needs. One should only need one car unless one live in God forsaken places. So, for me, a car has to function well all year around with merely tire changes. this freakin' Supra never ceases to amaze me: the more I drive it, the more I feel it, the...
  19. What is weird with this forum.

    so, my issue is that it seems that this effing forum sucks big time and the majority of the posters are stupid post-teens and/or rather mind compromised mid twenties-thirties digital minded morons with loads of financial resources but little sense of how to use it. dg thousands on mods Just...
