Not necessarily that old, but definitely a modern classic: 2001 M5. I even Lyft with it.

You can retrofit the vented seats, but that requires perforated leather centers and thus sacrificing the ostrich skin. Yes, ostrich skin. I will never sell mine for that reason alone

The Ford, Mazda and Honda approach of bundling this tech into packages to sell a bunch of extra features with it. This is an older approach.

But they SUCK on fuel. It uses a Crown Vic drivetrain in a heavier, unaerodynamic body. I think that's one of the reason's the manufacturer went under.

Tel Aviv has these things called "Sheruts". It's literally described as halfway between a bus and a taxi. They follow bus routes, but only stop where someone wants to and will pick someone up anywhere you flag them down. Costs around $2 instead of the 75 cents or so a bus does (if I can remember correctly).

My dad has a V10 and it's been reliable. Maintenance is comparable to an A8L

volvo is not Chinese. Geely has a majority stake, but the profits go back to Sweden first. Where they pay wages for Swedish employees and super high taxes to Sweden. Then the remaining profit (or debit) goes to Geely. So it benefits a lot of people in different countries, not just China. And nothing is 100% good in…

You're also giving money to Volvo and lots of highly educated Swedes. This is the company that gave the world some safety features like modern seat belts, crumple zones, automatic braking, child seats, etc. Sometimes for free.

I'm sorry, but the new C-class is atrocious. It's a shame because the last model was such a handsome little car.

For affordable 4 doors, this has to be it.

As the past owner of an identical (minus the tinted headlights and stupid lip spoiler) 540i, I must agree this is the best car you can buy under $10,000. Hell that was my goal when I bought mine. I had $5000 and the best possible car was a '97 540i/6. It serves me faithfully for years and I would still drive it to…

Andorra is the only European state with a small plate. Every other state as the massively long ones that, IMO, are much uglier than the rectangular ones we have. Also Europeans don't get fun designs, like your alma mater, as options for their plates.

Very useful. Very ugly.

I bet you there are some states in America where the owner would be liable if he crashed.

what about lease swap websites?

Trying to find something I don't like about this car.

I normally agree but this is a great usage of random chrome.

If you're moving 70 miles per hour, brake lights mean a slight deceleration 90% of the time. Most drivers expect to slow a few MPH.

I work at a hospital with a free valet service. Normally I wouldn't bother because it takes way too long. But nobody working there can drive stick. So I just park my car along the curb and hand them the keys. They get in, get out and my car sits next to the curb, right by the front door all day. Since our parking…
