I went for the build-your-own 500hp wagon option because N54 and 3 pedals

Are those non-promotional prices real? Regular is $2.25/gal in Miami today. WTF L.A.?

A little off topic, but what’s up with only two people authoring the last 19 articles on Jalopnik?  Did everyone else quit?

I do have a set of staggered 19" Schnitzer Type IIs I was hoping would fit, but they’re just a tad large...

Of the 60+ cars I’ve owned, I’ve had (and will continue to have) the E34 M5 the longest. For sure not the best at any one thing, but the sum is greater than it’s parts. With the relatively long wheelbase and linear power curve, it is exceptionally easy to drift also. Not to mention that the S38 block has been debated…

I still have my system 1s, but swapped on a set of system 2 covers for aesthetics and also to preserve the more valuable covers from potential damage.

We had a 3-time scca solo national champ Grady Wood in our region back in Arkansas that campaigned an ‘86 CRX.  It was faster than a CRX was ever intended to be.  We had a couple of others that were very competitive also.

7,000 RPM redline could be indicative of CTR engine under the hood. Although 300+ hp isn’t exactly setting the world on fire in a car that big.

In case you were wondering if that X1/9 can be turned into racecar, yes in fact it can. Ours had Lincoln Continental springs and would lift both front wheels out of any given hairpin.

Tell me about the resale value of a 1997 NSX vs. a 1997 Corvette, and then we can talk about bang for buck.

Yeah, this guy had the whole track to himself looks like.  Good day at the office.

No Lamborghini tractors

Did you know that farmers in the infield are only allowed to use rear engine tractors?

Way back in 2010 the E61 not only had the opening rear window, it ALSO had automatically raising and lowering tonneau cover(if you got the automatic liftgate option).  Mind. Blown.

Had my second S2000 stolen from my girlfriend’s apartment complex one night about 9 years ago. Walked out to go to work just before 8:00, and it was gone. It had two GPS trackers installed, and spotted the car by 10:00 AM an hour or so away with one tracker removed. The cops of course had no interest on sitting on it…

Re-fueling would not change this statistic, FYI

I’ve been watching F1 for 23 years (every stupid race), and have given this a lengthy amount of contemplation. The pros of re-fueling are that it has the potential to switch up the strategies of teams in quali and the race, and doesn’t put so much weight on getting the tire changes perfect. Also it means a longer…

New M5 is looking like a bargain at $103,000 ‘base’ MSRP compared to this.  

Red Top: Velvet Elvis approved

Was privileged enough to go 6 races (and also the ‘05 USGP) in the V10 era. Can still hear them in my chest just thinking about it.
