But this is my deal Ed!

I forgot these existed until I bought mine. Went in to the dealership looking at something else, left with this instead.

Holy crap. I’ve never really seen it that way before. Now, I will never be able to look at that generation T-Bird and NOT see a 6-series greenhouse on it. I mean, I got the whole “personal luxury coupe” thing, but never really saw it as an answer to the E24 BMW before.

I ran 13.6 @100 in a car with about 180hp. It can be done. (It helps that the car weighs about 2,000lbs, including me).

He forgot the “A/C works, just needs a recharge...”

37!

Wow, I missed that one. I also utterly failed to buy one for $20K 3 years ago when I should have.

I believe we’ll see the original Z3-based M Coupes appreciate like crazy in 10-15 years.

How one shop inspected my blown head gasket... with the rear end of a parked Thunderbird.

13.6 @ 100 mph! I still have this car.

I love the fact that both of the planes in this 50 year old movie are still in service. In my mind, that makes this reference even more spot on.

I believe it is something like this:

In Soviet Navy, ice hits you!

Depreciating Luxury: Fine Motoring on a Budget

That’s why it’s brilliant satire... Just out there enough to be maybe plausible.
