David, can you do me a favor? I’m reading Jalopnik on my phone and I only see 17 ads on this page. I think we can squeeze a few more in without breaking up the flow. Thanks!

Couldn’t say Purple, could you???

This is why I like having a beater. Take the beater, then don’t care what happens to it, and likely it’ll be nothing as I never keep ANY thing of value in one, and they don’t want to joyride in it because it’s a piece of shit.

When I was 25 I once rolled up to a fancy restaurant in my 1997 aubergine-colored Dodge Stratus, and I left the keys with the valet. After a very nice meal at the restaurant, we headed outside and waited for the valet to return with my car. After about 5 minutes, imagine my horror when the valet returned with a 1997…

Not quite a Valet story but I had to pull my car into a Tire Store bay once because no one there could drive stick shift.

Okay so this one time, I convinced my friend to let us take his dads 250 California out for the day in Chicago and...well...lets just say it was one interesting day off.

Right here, just outside the car! (tires screech as car peels out, and away)

Lol

Every time a company follows through and makes an enthusiast-focused vehicle like this, there is this... focus on what it might lack and how expensive it is. Can’t we simply enjoy the fact you can still get a 4x4 crew cab with a stick in this country in 2016?

Sorry chums, wrong blue again. Midnight Metallic Blue:

If you’re referring to the wheels, they don’t really look similar...

Boy, bye.

Good low effort troll here, lets see how it fares.

Is this a good reason?

So Elvis was some kind of car-modifying artist? What if he’d gone to Pep Boys and bought all the stick on vents and chrome? Should they have left those on, too?

I agree with you in that BMW probably didn’t care it was owned by Elvis.

being that there were only 200 some of these, BMW may not care that it was Elvis’ car. I can’t imagine very many are left. BMW probably just restored it for their sake. The car just happened to belong to Elvis.

It comes down to perception. Wrench on a late model BMW, Porsche, or Audi and people say “cool”. Do the same with a Corolla and people say “get that crap out of here”.
