Unpopular opinion: $11k over nearly 9 years for a car like this is not a lot of money for maintenance. I spend that much on much less expensive BMWs and Porsches, easily.

The E46 is not iconic, and at least show the pre-LCI version, no one does an homage to a facelifted car.

Too bad its feel won’t match its newly aggressive looks. I spent a couple hours in one of these recently and frankly it was a huge disappointment. Read more

Please tell me that is not a DLO fail at the Hofmeister kink 

To all the comments freaking out about the gun, it is comically easy to get a handgun permit in Florida. I have one and I don’t even live there. Sure, he probably didn’t have a permit but what I’m getting at is that handguns aren’t exactly uncommon in Florida.

It’s not obstruction to refuse to incriminate yourself

Yes on both counts

I’m a criminal defense attorney. The dog is likely fine but who knows based on the limited details. The problem is the phone. You can’t be compelled to enter a password. Period.

There aren’t many places left in the country where you can buy a house for $126k anymore.

I paid under $10k for a 7.3 excursion (from a large city’s suburb) that is worth about $25k in my area because they are so hard to come by here. If I sold, did I scam the seller?

Property is worth what the owner is willing to sell it for. If you are willing to sell it for below market, that’s on you.

A cop who doesn’t flinch or say “out of my price range” when he hears the car starts in the $90k range? Must get a lot of overtime...

Never heard of such a thing at any of the vets I’ve ever used

Mine are not clever but are definitely obnoxious and supposed to be so. On my convertible, it’s just my first initial (double douche factor!). On my truck, it’s the name of my boat (platinum douche!).

Often it’s military personnel. They don’t have to change the registration based on where they’re stationed. Look for a DOD sticker on the windshield.
