About $7000. It needed some work at the time. She's probably put another $5-6k into it. The biggest thing was the transmission swap. The original 4-speed would be almost redlining on the freeway. So now it has a 320 5-speed with a short throw shifter and race clutch. I'd be lying if I said the heavy clutch wasn't…

Just noticed the link doesn't work. This one should:

Thanks! Trust me, she's been locked away in her bedroom studying for that test for what seems like an eternity. This would be perfect stress relief. As I wrote it, I sent her a message: "Quick! Send me a picture of your car. I can't tell you why."

This is my girlfriend's car:

Another fact check: The new Carrera Panamericana is not a road rally. It's still very much a high speed, high risk event.

The world must to know the truth, no matter the cost!

Peking to Paris does still exist. It ran in 2013 and will run again in 2016. Hoping I can run it myself someday.

I've encountered this dilemma several times as well. I think I've invented a new hashtag for it: #clutchpeopleproblems

He was in Seattle.

You won't catch him in a Chrysler 200.

I just finished an awful 14 hour day at work. Thank you for saving my life.

Perhaps lower the lower grille to be even with the intakes?

Haven't looked at any of the new mega-mouth Lexus models in person. How much of that grille is even functional? I love combining form and function; form with fake function, not so much.

Production? Or does a functional concept work?

She... killed a man... for a 99 cent chicken sandwich.... That must be the best sandwich ever made.

I'm starting to feel like the making of all of these variants is the attempt of BMW AG to get around using marketing and focus groups to figure out what people want. They're simply going to make every possible combination of car they can think of and then let the market decide what stays. Release them all then cull…

Oh great, that music is going to be stuck in my brain all day.

I was going about 110mph on the track when this photo was taken. Wheels look pretty stationary. Background also looks sharp. Does anyone have a real life photo that could back up the in game shot?
