Yeah, the XM's went for around $52k USD back in the early 90's. That was probably the only reason why only 25 were sold. From the car reviews the conversions appeared to be well executed.

Yup is was that low. They imported approx 25 XMs and an untold number of CXs. (a few hundred)

Well, CXA did import 25 of them...

2020 leaves me enough time to complete my current project so that I can drive it to the dealership and have the sales staff can ask me "what kind of car is that and who makes it?"

They say this every 10 years and every 10 years they are completely full of merde. I'd welcome any official return of a French manufacture with my checkbook (if they still exist in 2020), but I'm not putting much faith in their once a decade claim. To mangle the Social Network movie quote; "If you wanted sell cars in…

Better yet, just weld a 36mm socket to each bolt. Heck, all bolts should have sockets welded to them.

My personal track record:

The ideal scenario is to own a Buy-Here/Pay-Here used car lot that allows consignments. While growing up a friend's family owned a used car lot.

I have experience with ozone generators and they can be effective depending on the circumstances. I would recommend using one only as a last resort as the oxidation process also attacks the interior of your car. Here are some of the last resort situations:

I've been following a whole-foods plant-based diet ala Forks over Knives/2 Engine for some time. It is essentially vegan, but goes one step further and advocates eliminating all added oils. That is seriously strict as you can eat fake cheese, butter, and meat alternatives all day and still be considered vegan. The…

But, Career Day or something....

Interesting response to Ferrari on an unrelated case.

Yes officer, I realize I was going under the speed limit, but you know... the mother-in-law is in town.

I view the use of antibiotics the same way I view ordering one of those blooming onions at a chain restaurant; only for special occasions when you exhausted all other options.

Keep cutting and pasting anti-Israel talking points Mr. Waldheim.

"Israel is passive aggressive. This isn't an opinion...it is a fact."

Since we're back to talking points I'd like to know more about what led to the theoretical bulldozer driving through the theoretical living room. I ask that because self-identifying Palestinians living in Israel have a higher standard of living than say camps in Jordan or Lebanon where they are persona non grata. The…

A group of 10 kids chases a kid into a dead-end alley, then cries foul when he picks up a stick to defend himself. I guess in your mind the only fair thing to do would be to take away his stick so he can fight the 10 kids fair and square.
