    BMW 2-Series

    I wouldn't consider either of them compact utility vehicles. I'm still not sold on the electric steering, but they have added DPC to the F15 which was only available on the E70 M. I'll have to see what they do with the M variant when it's time to trade in, may need to wait for the LCI though...

    Cake for gay couple and ESPN blocking religious commercials

    No, a civil union and a marriage is not the same thing under Colorado law, that's the distinction. Are you claiming there are a lot of straight same sex civil unions?

    Cake for gay couple and ESPN blocking religious commercials

    A civil union is not a marriage, that that's the distinction being made. He would have been fine had he said he wouldn't bake them a wedding cake for their marriage/wedding reception but he would make them a cake for their civil union reception. The judge seems to say that a civil union...

    Cake for gay couple and ESPN blocking religious commercials

    Two straight men could get a civil union in Colorado AFAIK, but they can't get married. Did the judge ever say that two straight men couldn't have a civil union in the decision?

    Cake for gay couple and ESPN blocking religious commercials

    That's exactly how the judge called it though: It certainly sounds like if they would have been willing to provide them a cake for a commitment ceremony or a civil union, then the judge would have dismissed it. It may be because current Colorado law specifically states marriage is only...

    Cake for gay couple and ESPN blocking religious commercials

    The judge's ruling said they would have been within their rights to refuse to make a wedding cake for a gay marriage. What they did was also refuse to make a cake for civil union or commitment ceremony, which is why the judge said it went beyond the act of marriage and discriminated based on...

    Cake for gay couple and ESPN blocking religious commercials

    I just read through the entire ruling and this is what caused it: Had the bakery been willing to provide them a civil union cake it sounds like they would have been fine. I didn't realize they had stated they wouldn't provide one for a commitment ceremony or a civil union, my bad.

    Cake for gay couple and ESPN blocking religious commercials

    A domestic partnership is what is legally recognized in Colorado, not a marriage. If a cake is a cake, why wouldn't they take up the offer to bake them anything other then a wedding cake?

    Cake for gay couple and ESPN blocking religious commercials

    Colorado also does not allow gay marriage, the state constitution states marriage is between a man and a woman. They should have asked for a Domestic Partnership cake.

    Can't log into a Surface Pro

    Go back to work and login while it's on your work network. You need AD available for the first login so it can cache your credentials, then you can use it at home. Unless of course it has a VPN client running on boot that you can login to before logging on the Surface.

    The Official Forza 5 thread

    It's tier 4, starts at 2500 points, tier 5 is 4500. I was hoping to get to tier 5 before the launch but it looks like the only way to do it will be to buy DLC from 4 and Horizon and buy tokens.

    235i M Sport? You can get the 228i with ZMP but the M235i only comes as an M Performance vehicle. Hopefully we'll see an M2, but for now, the M Performance vehicles have been getting great reviews and they have been warmed over by the M Engineers. This is the first one that's made it to the...

    Basically, they've had been using the M57 since 1998, it's only after they added all the US emissions stuff that it had all these issues.

    Any dodge charger come in diesel flavor ?

    2009? Early builds had the DPF recall and then they had the software recall on them. Then they had the SCR catalyst, the DEF mixer and the EGR valve recall as well that affected everything from 09-11. At least they're bringing the N57 over now in the F10 5er and F15 X5.

    Fiat 500 Abarth (calling out Zap)

    Probably best just waiting a month for the 2014, the 2.5 is no more, the base engine in the beetle is the 1.8t now. The EPA rating for the 2014 Jetta 1.8t is 25/36 with the 6AT, haven't seen any ratings for the Beetle yet though.

    DirecTV Genie, anyone have this?

    CCK and the HR34 both work fine connected to the SMC gateway (one or the other obviously), hook either of them up to the Time Capsule and whole home doesn't work at all. I've had them out to look, they tell me you can't use Apple routers with whole home.

    DirecTV Genie, anyone have this?

    Right, the CCK doesn't work with the current crop of Apple routers, neither does skipping it and going straight into the HR34. Still haven't been able to get a straight answer on why it doesn't work and if it needs any ports forwarded, just that it doesn't work with Apple. So I have to go into...

    VW GTI vs BMW 320 vs BMW 128

    They brought the 1er over as soon as they had the Coupe/Vert variant ready and federalized. Along with the release of the E82/E88 in 2007, they moved all 1er production to the Leipzig plant and it was built on it's own line.

    VW GTI vs BMW 320 vs BMW 128

    The N20 is basically the same between the 320i and 328i, there are some differences, like the pistons, but with a tune, you can hit 328i numbers with the 320i. The JB4 is available for it. http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=849566

    What is the appeal of a BMW?

    Who doesn't like hot hatches when they're correct wheel drive, like the M135i. But I certainly wouldn't take a Fiesta ST over a 135i regardless of price, the 135i is more fun to drive then any FWD hatch, IMO.

    What is the appeal of a BMW?

    The 320i is a $299 a month lease spec special, it's just a way to bring people to the brand and dealerships. So you'd take a Fiesta ST over a 135i because it's more fun to drive and cheaper?

    Do automakers still make "49 state" emission legal vehicles?

    There may be some small manufacturers selling some, but nothing on a national level that I know of. The California car market is just so large, they're really able to dictate what the rest of the nation gets, especially now that other states are following their standards.

    Do automakers still make "49 state" emission legal vehicles?

    Things changed in 2007 IIRC when 4 other states started using the CARB standards and you have some 45 state emission legal vehicles, VW diesels of the time were in this group. In 2009 it went up to 14 states and most recently AZ also adopted the standards. In 2016 the EPA will have matched...

    Replace RFT with RFT?

    Michelin offers 3 years of roadside assistance, so just get some Pilot Super Sports if you're looking for summer tires. Also, if it's a lease, you'll need to turn it back in with runflats, just something to think about if you're in that position. Personally, I replace the stock tires as soon...

    Saw a Tesla S on the road

    I looked at the Model S, if you're strictly using it as a commuter vehicle it works nicely. But if I'm spending 90k on a vehicle, I'd want to use it as the family vehicle, not just to get me to work and back. In that model, it just doesn't work unless you're on the west coast or the I-95...

    Yeah, they're all over in Denver, guy in my neighborhood has one. I drove past the Denver service station on Friday and was wondering what it was doing next to the Speedy Cash, not exactly the location I'd want to take any of my vehicles for service, much less a Tesla.
