I hope I am not seeing this correctly because it looks like a vent. A vent for your wrist? Wouldn’t want that to get warm going to and from your parking spot work site.

This is tough. On one hand it’s $5k for a V8 swapped 3 series. On the other it’s $5k for a V8 swapped 3 series w/o a brake booster. $4k we’re in NP territory. $5k, CP but a nice starting point to negotiate.

Elaborate. I’m genuinely curious as to your perspective on this.

No Dr. Z? How can you say no to this mustache?

#COTD right here!

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! There used to be a Lincoln variant of the Explorer called the Aviator, but it got killed because nobody bought it. Think if you even recall that this was a car to give you an idea of sales volume.

This....is AWESOME!

Went to the show at DTE Amphitheater outside of Detroit not long ago. Left after 4 songs into their set. Half of the pavilion was empty. I’m glad that Mrs. 5mtFXT wanted to see Dashboard and not Third Eye Blind. Turrible.

dictionary pwned. nice.

Always Causing (a) Ruckus

NP for the Spaceman Spiff reference. But seriously, $4k into this thing after buying it at a little less then asking and you have a great summer ride that you could offload pretty easily if you ever had to. NP

Exterior is really cool. Motor in the bed for laughs? Yes, please! Interior....WTF is going on here? Has potential to be a NP if not for that interior. CP

No buckets! Bad, bad buckets! You turn back into a proper bench seat right now!

Not for the streets, but when the CLA45 launched there were several race prepped ones designed for a one make series.

This image will be making frequent appearances from here on I think. Holy crap this is great!

I’m going to be curious as to how these motors stand the test of time. That’s a lot of boost running through a 2.0 motor and largely given to the hands of people who are either going to a) beat them within an inch of their life or b) only put 5k miles on them over the course of their 36 month lease.

“If it’s too loud, you’re too old”. He can enjoy his Camry.

Hopefully they’ll hide moose icons throughout the vehicles a la McLaren and their kiwis

There is no question that this is a great summer project. The 20R will run forever and you just need to piece back the interior to make it a great summer daily driver. NP all the way

I’m torn. NP for the history of the car and that it’s an early GTI. CP price, but not by much. $8,500 is a good starting point. I wouldn’t surprised if it sold for around $7,500 though
