The BMW study was rather disappointed to discover increased engine wear with higher octane.

However one near 40 MPG tanks a previous summer ago was after an accidental fill up with Exxon high test. But it was also ideal conditions - mostly highway on a hot and humid days. That created a curiosity. But insufficient numbers exist to say more.

TW,

Let's take the WMD issue to a new thread. I want you to make sure you document your time spent in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Also tell me about your time as a 74D

Over 10 years fighting the Bush/Cheney- and other Gulf-of-Tonkin-like decisions...
and over 65 years opposing nuclear/chemical/biological warfare.

Lola, I think they're saying you should buy a tank armed with nucular weapons ;)

boys, can you not hear yourselves? STFU or go to your rooms and argue it out via instant messaging on your iPods. None of us wants to hear another syllable about it. You can come out for dinner if/when you've learned how to behave in a civilized and social fashion. And picked up your goddam laundry while you're in there.

Lamplighter 12-17-2013 08:50 AM

Yes, Mommy. But he started it. ;)

monster 12-17-2013 09:42 AM

I don't give a flying fuck who started it, I'm finishing it and I'm kind of surprised you didn't learn that lesson already. Must be you're not as smart as I thought. I'd be delighted to be proven wrong on that

Big Sarge 12-17-2013 09:50 AM

monster - it's a serious issue to some of us. Out of respect for this thread, I suggested we take it to a different thread.

monster 12-17-2013 10:44 AM

then start one, post a link for your buddies to follow you and leave lola to pick a car. Walk the walk.

Hey, don't disrespect the honorable tradition of Cellar thread drift.
It hasn't been about Lola's choices for a new car since post #42.

Lola Bunny 12-17-2013 07:12 PM

Well, I've stopped reading a long time ago. Thank you everyone who gave me opinions. I read all those.

I reply to you with insults because you are nearly impossible to communicate with. You don't listen to what people say, you just keep repeating yourself. I've said multiple times in this very thread that I have a 2006 Jeep Commander that has a 5.7 ltr V8. Yet, a couple posts ago, you say I probably drive a V8.

I've been on this forum since 2003... In the car business the whole time, and 8 years before that. How could you seriously say that I don't know the basics of cars? I've helped several people buy cars... Hell, I even spearheaded buying a car for someone. I know you know that because you contributed to it!

I would like to get to know you better so that we could communicate effectively. How can we do that? You wanna meet up for beers some time or something?

I just love this post.

I can't quite bring myself to post it in the HoF, .... I might. Anyhow, tw, you don't have any credibility when it comes to stuff like this. Even if you have some legitimate, factual, on topic information, we'd never know, you just can't get it onto the page. What you do manage to get onto the page is ... nonsense. It's entertaining enough, at best, but really not helpful in the main. Additionally, you have the most absurd double standards when it comes to competing claims of accuracy. In the area of cars, your consistency is... stultifying. But it's aaaaall just your own personal dogma. No "figures", no citations, like you're fond of requiring of others, especially in other areas (power supplies, etc, etc.). Come on, where are YOUR citations to support your claims?

Crickets.

Anyhow, jimhelm has it right (as he often does), you're impossible to communicate with. Frankly, I'm a little surprised you even paused long enough to recognize his insult. Now I'm piling on by calling you inept. Insulting though it may feel, I can support my claim with any number of citations, should you require.

Yours,

BigV

I sure it was but considering the bullshit you've been spreading in this thread I doubt it was useful to her.

I'm seriously thinking of getting the Altima. I wasn't going to get a car until the end of the next year, but the car started to shake badly last week. It's fixed now. So, I decided to sell this car while it still worth something.

Glatt: I am going to check out the radio when I get to the showroom. Thanks for the pointer. I was in a car that has a touch screen once. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to adjust the A/C temperature. And I was on the passenger seating, staring at the screen. I finally had to ask the driver to do it...lol.
