I would expect the owner of shop that does work on this sort of car would not be driving around like an 18 year old the first time they get their hands on a car. If they want to test and tune the car, get it on a dyno, hooning around at lunch hour and just after kids get out of school is a pretty bad call and I…

I was going to say a built not bought bumper sticker.

Thats still a lot of money to have in something before you swap the engine. It might fit, but redoing the fuel system, figuring out where to put the radiator, plumbing that, wiring it, getting adapters to hook up to the stock transmission or adapting a different one to work and all of that, I doubt you would have…

I think it depends on where your height is. I am 6'2" and because I have a long torso and short legs a lot of sporty cars are uncomfortable for me, even after messing with the seat to tilt it back. Interestingly compacts seem to work better because of their higher rooflines.

I made that same connection. It kinda looks like if you took a 911 and Dino and blurred them together. For something like this I admit it looks pretty good, but the real deal breaker for me is it looks like it should be fast and has an air cooled VW mill. I would feel like a phony in this car.

I’m imagining this as what the Avalanche would have looked like in 1993.

If I remember right the Truck races used to stop at the halfway point, much like short track racing does. I didn’t mind that, honestly I grew up on Nascar and short track racing and stopped about the time the chase came out. It seems like they are trying to be entertaining rather than a sport or competition and as…

I am not far from you sentiment, although at the same time I always feel like when I express my feelings on the matter I need to include “Hey kids, get off my lawn!”

I think your asking the wrong crowd. The people who I think will want this the most are the people who dont care about driving. The interface on my phone is very efficient and for navigation it will probably be my go to for many years. Other than bluetooth I dont really see any other need, I have an OBD2 reader to…

I think convertibles range from good to terrible and the biggest factor is whether they were designed to be convertibles, or designed to be hardtops and then made into convertibles. Miatas are nimble, fun and light, even Corvettes since they have a fiberglass bodies rather than unibody can be very enjoyable. I think…

Honestly my wife has a Subaru and I think it is a miserable winter car. I have a 4 wheel drive full size pickup with a limited slip rear end and it is way more fun to drive in the snow. Stomp on the gas and ride a 4 wheel drift as long as you want. I think AWD is a gift for unskilled drivers and a curse for…

Although a Cummins RAM and this BMW could hardly be more opposite. I do feel like the manual and coilovers don’t fit the character of this car. But that’s just like my opinion man.

It seems like a bit much for a car that could be getting close to “Hes dead Jim” territory. Its a roll of the dice, and while I believe many cars can run beyond 300k miles, I prefer to have 50-60k on the car as it approaches that number so I have a feel for it. I think I would rather find an Accord with around 200k…

If you are buying a car that potentially only had one seat and concerned about mpg, your gonna have a bad time.

I do have to agree that many people get to concerned by specs and the layout of cars rate than the results. In the same way most Jeep owners never benefit from the solid axels because they never take it places a Pilot couldn’t go, many BMW owners don’t get the benefits of the rwd layout because they never drive it…

If they put the same effort designing and building them as you put writing that they wouldn’t be a terrible car. Last spring we got out from under my wife’s rogue as it needed 5k worth of work plus a transition replacement Nissan had been putting off since she bought it. It has been overheating on the highway and…

Honestly at this price I would get a Ram Charger from the same era, but Toyota guys where I live would pay this price any day and it wouldn’t last long. NP.

I think the first step is you have to talk endless about how it doesn’t need more power because it is perfectly balanced. Then something to the extent about how the car has made you a better driver.

Running a snowplow is actually pretty fun if you aren’t trying to make a living at it.

I really get a strange vibe out of this car. I could be wrong, but my guess is it was at one time in rough shape and was fixed up to be sold at a profit by someone. It reminds me of that car you see at a sketchy car dealer that looks really clean as you drive by, has racing stripes or MR Gasket Chrome all over the…
