A couple hundred dollars would have been only 2-4 hours work or so plus materials. What is described in my post, cannot be done in 2-4 hours. :)

He was a SuperChad. But with the risks the man was taking, perhaps just a matter of time.

1 Euro= approx 1.17 USD

It depends on by how much . 300 Euros are not unusual. Leaving the Autobahn in an unauthorized manner (say there is a traffic jam and you use your 4WD to drive over the shoulder onto a farm road right next to the autobahn), is approx 2500 Euros.

I would think that RWD vehicles are more likely to be fitted with performance tires and thier higher speed ratings. I could speculate that perhaps 4WD and AWD buyers care more about all season behaviour?

This right here was peak car.

That generation TL was absolutelly gorgeous inside and out! But... it would go thru transmisisons like candy. It was a design flaw, the replaced transmssions would also go quickly. The I35 was pretty sweet. A Maxima in a Tuxedo and thats not a bad thing.

This is a discussion we have all the time here. And there are 2 camps. Those who follow the evidence ( which is that thicker oils can establish a better film to protect moving parts) and those that observe the party-line crafted to allow manuafactuers to use thin oils in EPA mpg tests, (which...

Aerdodynamically despite being large it could go quite faster still, it is obvious by how hard the engine still pulls even at 125 mph. However you are correct the electronic limiter kicks in at 130 mph , the speed rating of the tires. I did not realize the AWD/4WD vs RWD convention with Nissan...

-It was an effort just to get her to catch the Speedo. -This is a US Spec vehicle and I am a US citizen here on assignment for work and brought my vehicle with me. Incidentally one of the very very few, areas in which Germans has more freedom than in the US; Locals may import foreign spec cars...

(Edit: 1.6 kph= 1 mph) In Germany certainly. Fines for exceeding speedlimits in areas that are speed limited (which are the vast majority of paved roads here) are quite steep and go up to and including loss of license. In principle, exceeding the speed limit by 28 kph may results in loss of...

Converted from Euro/Liter to US measurements about 8 Dollars a Gallon for Premium. This is also the reason why some people ehre seem to think I am a Millionaire, because those are the only types who would even think abut dring a 2.6 metric ton empty weight, 400 hp V8 full size 4x4, SUV here...

The tires are rated only to 130mph/210 kmh. I dont like to get too close to keep a safety reserve

My GF took the pic

A little shot of my speedo from earlier today on the Autobahn in my 2023 Nissan Armada. Took a trip from Kaiserslautern to Neunkirchen so my GF could go shopping at the SaarCenter Mall. I didnt drive this speed all the way, but a lot of the way, due to light traffic. That Nissan V8 just wanted...
