You think he swapped it because he was bored or something? $1 says he bought the car at auction with a dead engine

That apparently dutifully served the car for a good 157,000 miles after which it was retired and replaced with a 6.1-litre edition of the Hemi V8.

So if someone bought a E46 323i and blew the engine, put a bunch of M badges/fenders/hood on, and shoved an M3 drivetrain in and then modded it, you’d buy it as long as it came in at cheap market E46 M3 price?

The 6.1 was originally rated at 425-bhp from the factory, however the seller says that this one rocks freer-breathing heads and an NBA-caliber cam which conspire to provide the car with 500-ponies at tits massive rear wheels. The work is claimed to have been done by Plum Floored in Arizona, and there’s a nominal 60K…

Don’t buy other people’s project cars. CP

It’s got Thad Castle in it. That’s all I needed to know; watching all of this.

Yeah, and $250/year wouldn’t have stopped me from buying the car. $5000 did

A tip of the flat-brimmed cap to you, good sir

Yeah. it’s just a nail in the coffin. I wanted the Leaf purely for work commute (150ish miles a week), and then I was going to use my normal gas-powered car to get to anything else. But if i’m paying [insurance + gax tax fee + ad velorum + lease payments] it isn’t worth it anymore, even if I am saving the electricity…

Fair, sure. But it also means electric cars are dead in GA

You think that the republicans who killed the rebate weren’t paid by big oil? I envy your obliviousness

LOL you think the roads are well maintained in GA? A chunk of I-85 literally burned down last month because GDOT (the fuckheads who are supposed to be maintaining the roads) stored flammable materials under it. The section is still closed and likely won’t reopen for another month. 

Georgian here. Before the $5k rebate went away, I very nearly leased a Nissan Leaf. I had test driven it, I had figured out how I was going to charge it for free (thanks employers!), and how I was going to basically have a new electric car for the cost of insurance. Plus its made right here in the US.

Voting CP because of my intense, searing hatred for convertibles.

Rare does not equal collectible. CP

Is there a spec 3 where you can get the performance goodys without all the gaudy shit all over the car? My god that RTR logo stamped on the liftgate is hideous. And don’t even get me started on those grille lights

The post I responded to said

Saw a beautiful MkIV Supra driving in town the other day. Black. Targa top. Tasteful exhaust and deep dish wheels. But then I got closer

As another Subaru driver, you jelly about my FA20DIT bro?

You had me at rear-wheel drive Celica. NP
