I’m actually encouraging inclusive open-mindedness.

As the owner of two RWD E46 variants, I’m surprised to see your post. My first one was a 325i 5MT sedan. It was my first BMW ever. I was blown away by the interior. The 170(?) HP wasn’t much, but it was silky smooth, fun, handled well and it sounded good. The only unscheduled repair was a dim tail light bulb. It lead…

Anyone who doesn’t appreciate Miatas doesn’t really like cars. Honestly, I’m not sure what someone like that would be doing on an auto enthusiast blog. Seriously.

I’m pretty sure that if my stuff was permanently confiscated that I wouldn’t give a shit what happened to it after that...

So now that you idiots have compressed the bikes into a multi-material composite heap, who gets the unenviable task of prying apart and sorting the various materials for recycling?

Soooo...nobody with the City has heard of eBay or Craigslist? I’m pretty sure the city has a contract with an auction company for retired assets.
