naturally-aspirated, 830-horsepower V12

Much love for the S38. I think the 3.8L version in the last E34 M5s is the largest displacement 6-cylinder made by BMW? Also the S38 gave rise to the S14, another legendary BMW engine.

Hands down, the Taurus SHO V6.... For an engine designed in the mid ‘80s it combined great power, good sound (when the secondary runners open) and a beautiful design... Way ahead of its time, and a shame it was put in a crappy Taurus body. I miss mine.

Six figures ain’t seven figures, friend.

I really thought that eventually, my eyes would get used to seeing these, but it’s just not going to happen. I love the technology, but Honda really needed to show some restraint with all the scoops, wings, triple exhaust, etc. Granted, I know I haven’t been this car’s target market for about a decade now, but it’s…

Current WRC are a lot faster than Group B.

That made me literally laugh and cry at the same time.

He was feeling better!

Yeah. I have. What's your point?

To be honest, anything a Baby Boomer says to me is automatically suspect. You idiots spent 50 fucking years sucking off the system and giving nothing back.
