Looking at Hyundai Ioniq EV. Facelift going on currently, they are selling out the pre-FL models 20% under street price of the new one. Anyone got one of these? 30k€ for the premium, all-options model, 28k€ for the not-so-premium (no leather mainly and some other things I guess). All prices including tax.
Europe btw.

so yea, the folding creeper decided to crap out on me, the screws in which it connects to frame, really isn't meant to be twirling i guess
they didn't snap off, they grinded off, i was fine with it, so rather than get another one, i decided i'll fix it correctly, ended up finding casters that were super long, threw on a washer and locking nut and it fucking feels 1000x more solid.

Can I predict the future again?
You will dirty, tired and pissed off and you will knock your head on that nut/bolt and throw that entire fucking thing through a window.

yea i was thinking about that, i couldn't find any rubber grommet end caps, and will probably just get one of those rounded end nuts to cap it off.

Rubber Thread Protectors something like this. You might have to do some more looking around but the basic hardware stores should have them

Great cars, maybe the best BMW's of the past 10 years. Manual too, must have been hard to find

Yeah, the automatics are all over the place, but once I saw a manual with relatively low millage(under 19k) I couldn't pass it up. They are fun, no doubt!

I took this for a test drive last month 'cause I'm getting sick of the automatic on my S5, and though I loved the ride and external styling, the interior is beyond bland compared to my S5, and is missing all sorts of electronic gadgets. if they upped the internal styling and/or allowed more customization, it would have been an auto buy for me.

Yeah, I love Audi interiors. That said, coming from my boring-ass 2017 QX50, the M2 is like a spaceship as far as tech goes.

What is that color as well? Doesn't quite look like the long beach blue? Or is it just the lighting? It's sharp.
There is a new 2 series coming next year with a new M2 coming the year afterwards supposedly, will be interested to see how they update it

So the i decided to replace the "front sidemarker lightbulbs" in the impreza, these aren't the headlights or the fog or the turn lights, they're just the fucking like accents lights, i thought i bought wrong ones until i figured out 3 out of 4 are already dead, heh, anyway it was annoying in that i have to take out the bumper and the headlight unit itself, i "could" kinda squeeze in from the wheel well, but fuck it, anyway i park the honda outside cuz i want full room to work and i was gonna move it back and for some reason the car battery is dead. no idea why really, i just recently checked and refilled all the water levels. Anyway i could drive the subaru out to it, but i have a portable car jumper in each car...
turns out the one in the honda is dead too (it's one of the super heavy half battery kinds), so i take the one from the subaru, which is the new thin style (basically an external usb charger) and it jumped in a second. So i was gonna buy the same one and for some reason, it's down in price to $25 and theres a $10coupon to boot, i think it's an error (cuz i have an app that checks price history and it went down this low this month for some reason), if you want to snag a few to give to gifts, it's like usually 50$ ish bucks
Car Jump Starter RAVPower 300A Peak Current (for All 12V 2.0 L Gas Engines) 8000mAh External Battery Pack Quick Charge Portable Jumper Power Bank Power Pack Car Battery Booster, Built-in Flashlight
and yea it works fine, jumped my car in a second.

Not an M2 but I'm looking at the M340i.
Pretty fucking fast for "not a real M"
I need 4 doors and can't/wont afford an M5.

I was thinking about swapping out my OEM halogens with some LED headlights for better visibility, but I'm out of my league. There are a ton of options, not all of them are DOT compliant/street legal, I have no idea which brands are reputable or not, and I don't know if things are plug and play without special equipment.
Does anyone have experience with the process or have any recommendations? I believe my car has H4 bulbs.

my 2002 civic uses H4 also, so yea i know, you're probably wondering why it also says it's 9003 compatible? simply H4(or H* whatever) is the motorcycle designation and the quad number 9003 is for cars
also yea, it might not fit cuz of the way regular light bulbs are
especially the H4's
they basically just jut out with a 3 prong connector, most LED headlights will look like this
that's a heatsink/fan on the end, and then it comes out as a tail to connect it, this might/mightnot work in your car (it doesn't fit my civic, i had to jerryrig it)
they do have H4's now that are LED and resemble the oldstyle halogen (to fit in motorcycles more)
(they just moved the heatsink up)
it was really annoying doing the civic, it has an annoying clip that breaks and i had to fit a rubber boot over it the impreza takes a h11 and it was twist off, twist on, thats it.
pretty sure the upperlimit of color light is 6500k (bright white, lower for "warmer")

also i found this website the best for lightbulb sizes
www.modifiedlife.com
(i put the link you can type in your car model)
all other sites are mostly autozone or oreilly with their own internal numbers and blah blah, this site was easy and simple, i just printed out page for my two cars and taped it on my garage door.
