Same. I don't understand what's going on here.

Well this maintenance was all done prior to coming across something else yesterday. In a conversation with the wife, she basically gave me the ok to proceed. I am serious about the sale, I have posted it up online, I will continue to market the car pretty heavily in the next few days. I mean honestly at this point, a buyer would have to do nothing with this vehicle but drive it for awhile!

My outlook is this, if it sells for what I'm asking then great and that means it was meant to be. If for whatever reason it doesn't sell, then i'm at no loss and still have my baby. Maybe its my mid life crisis hitting very early in life....

But to answer your question Brad, yes I use the tapered lugs

You're being so secretive on what you've came across that interests you......

Oh just say it. There's no harm in talking about what kind of car you'd prefer to have more than the car you already do. Pretty sure 99% of the people here will support your choice, whatever it is.

Unless it's a Camaro. Standards, knowhatimean?

I see a ton of those, the vast majority driven by hot suburban MILFs

Certainly fast, but I'm a 3 pedal guy so

Good luck, the heart wants what the heart wants. I want an STI for gods sake

That's a whole lot of car. Interesting choice. About as big as you can get, while still being able to rip up the road like a sports car (ish)

G'luck. Although I'd think you'll get sad missing the MT.

I still want a Jag, dammit.

Well thanks, I'm not holding my breathe but theres one in a highly desired color combo and with every feature I could ask for and 555hp would def help me forget the 3rd pedal.

Those X5Ms do look pretty sweet from the back w/ those steam rollers, pretty dramatic 180 from your G, but it IS a bad as$ crossover for sure!

Unlucky... i’ll Keep my fingers crossed for ya. Having had three left knee surgeries... it’s the last thing you want with three pedals.

Don’t stress about the X, another will come along .

That's 6 to 8 weeks of physical therapy and no clutch pedal. Damn.

Maybe a big, comfortable SUV really is in your future... just not that one. Another one, for sure.

Sorry, OP. You must be miserable.
