my m3 had a cheater parking brake rotor/caliper.
it sucked. couldn't yank it to initiate drifts. wasn't strong enough. lol
 
Sometimes, you just need to grab the f'in e-brake. even pro drifters have it set up with the big as wang lever.
 
:lol:

anyways, broke 10K on the veloster since picking it up early june.

sometime this week going to have my buddy put a new IM gasket on it. leaking like a sieve, bad idle and no brake pressure. VIDEOOOOO!

wow, that was a quick 10k. I'm just shy of 22 on genny now. and i've had it 3 years longer than you. lol
 
i loooove to drive this car. i find excuses to drive it, even if its just to the store. the only time we take the elantra out over it, is in heavy rains :lol: i dont want mud on my light grey seats.

:p

78k on the truck now, bought it at 48k almost 2 years ago... and 80k on the Mazda (52k last year), 100k in one tank on the S2k.
 
I have 43k on my cr-z now. The first trip over 50 miles I took in it was to meet up with Chris over his birthday.
 
theres nothing like a brand new car. a car that you know has had your ass in it 99.999999 percent of the time.
 
Changed the IM gasket on the Elantra.

took about 2 hours. used copper gasket spray after i cleaned the mating surfaces with brake parts cleaner. purrs like a kitten. reset the codes for idle air controller and cyl2 misfire hopefully they do not come back.

apparently it is common for the gasket to break between #2 and #3

there are 2 long brackets holding the manifold to the block, i removed one of the brackets. the service manual wants you to jack up the car and loosen the bottom 2 bolts for the brackets. i unbolted them from the manifold and bent them out of the way. probably saved me about 20 minutes.

i hardly feel duped. i can break 40mpg no problem. my all time high is 42.x mpg. i average 34mpg driving the car like an asshole.

but still, the compensation will be nice. almost half a car payment a year :lol:
