I posted the short version of this story in 2010 when I had a different username (wow, I’ve been reading this site forever).

Congrats on getting this heap road legal!

Find me a cpo bmw 328i x drive sedan in dark blue with saddle interior with less than 25k mikes for ~$25k, give me $11k for my ‘13 37k mile g37x with scrapes from 8 months in an NYC garage (being realistic for a dealer trade in value) and you have me as a buyer. If not, I can drive my car until it dies and therein…

Story?

I got a speed camera ticket in another Ohio municipality, East Cleveland. If you want to see what happens when no local economy is combined with a virtually non existent residential tax base and a severely corrupt and ineffective bureaucracy, that’s East Cleveland. Their leaders are practically begging Cleveland to…

I’ll take a a fully loaded 200c even trade with my 35k mile G37x (Kbb about 16k) and free nyc garage parking closer to my apartment as long as I have it.

My uncle is on his second one of these, bought among the last off the line because he loved his first one so much.

At my previous job, I’d periodically be sent out to do due diligence on real estate. We had someone on staff full time to do this but when we were on a deadline and we had too many to look at, I’d be sent out as well. My first ever trip was down to Mississippi. My rental car? A bright blue Toyota Prius C. With…

In the last 3 months and within 6 blocks of where you ended this video, I’ve seen 2 Alfa Romeo 164s, a Milano, and a S4 Spider

It’s funny you mention this, I recently started seeing a roughly ‘07 S550 in my neighborhood. The car is in a lovely shade of dark red and it is street parked most nights. This itself isn’t a red flag, there is a brand new s6, B7 s4 avant, and several other interesting and/or high dollar cars that routinely park…

I walk by most of those cars everyday when I walk my dog. The 240 rarely moves much (probably an original owner car, it just got those plates recently, last time I took a picture it had blue and white plates with the old style 6 digit plate number). That Lebaron NEVER moves, there is usually an older model Buick…

Flood Damage? Pass, Italian cars of this age don’t need another reason to have problems.

Not to self promote, but on Flickr I routinely post pictures of unusual cars I find in the NYC area (both exotic and rare). Might be of general interest to spotters here.

I started receiving these notices almost immediately after I bought my new-to-me CPO/warrantied car and fell for this. Well, by “fell for this”, I mean I called the dealership’s General Sales Manager (who had given me his direct contact information after his employees messed up a number of things on what should have…

I’m about to do just this. After a year living in the midwest, I’m moving back to NYC with a new dog and a new-to-me G37x (also have my girlfriend but she followed me for some god forsaken reason out here). We’re going from using it as a daily driver to using it for weekend jaunts to one of the ‘burbs where our…

Ok, can someone tell me if I can get a normal 3 series in this color in the states?

Street parked, downtown, a few weeks ago in rainy weather

My dad upgraded to this car’s twin from a 1.8t A4. His was the 2.8/automatic, he loved the car but only kept it the length of the lease, he was surely scared off by the a4 falling apart soon after the lease was set to expire (he extended the lease a few months). Our neighbor had the facelifted version (amber rear…

Yup

The car was thrown out of the parking garage directly across from my apartment window. Our entire building shook, I wish I had actually witnessed it.
