Comments

Never done 6 and 10
But the rest is 100% true

I was on my way to a lake in the woods the main road was closed due to tree falling over so I took the high road in this heard a loud bang on a bad part of the road and my wife is now upset as I broke her car snapped something on the back axle

Putting an automatic car into manual or paddle mode

I actually like when my light turns red because I get to accelerate and make turbo noises

Last one is so true… My E36 has been making a slight clunking sound ever since it got swapped from a 318is to a 328i engine with the 318 gearbox and diff still attached. I so badly do not want it to be the subframe mounts that I’m ignoring it unless it gets worse.
