Wow, that’s actually lighter than I expected. By today’s standards, though, the 525i/530i weighing in at 3500lbs is positively featherweight. How much did the 540i wagons weigh? And IIRC, the e39 M5 was around 2 tons.

Interesting. We’ll see what happens. Oh, and Musial was president of the production company behind /DRIVE (http://www.tangentvector.com/about/)
Yes, please! Doug, if you’re ever in LA, I’d love to see you make the rounds of the podcasts; Hooniverse, TST, Car Stories, etc.
I believe it’s JF Musial; IIRC, he orchestrated the entire DRIVE network from the beginning. I think it’s safe to say that DRIVE is done.
Can confirm; I went to the show a few years ago. Didn’t get on stage, but my dad won the $100 door prize!
That’s what college is for; if you’re not wealthy enough to know the US’s failures, they want you to work hard to protect the country.
Well, he’s gone, dontcha know? Just kidding, I have no idea.
Oh god, if it wasn’t so true.
Sounds like you have a great bracket racer there!
Holy... The hydrogen in the air is burning?! WTF!
So true. But remember, we’ve had 104 years to learn about the Titanic; only 40 or so for Vietnam. School curriculum changes about as fast as a glacier.
Heh, entirely possible!
I'm happy to see it, too, as this ensures the preservation of the class as a whole.
I've always wondered the same. What happened to our old aristocratic heritage (as a descendent of Welsh and German ancestors).
I'll be honest, it looks quicker than my e39 530i...
Just like the Queen Mary in Long Beach. I don’t know, honestly, how I feel about that. It’s also sad that the interior is gutted, as, at least in the QM, it’s still really luxurious.
If I recall correctly, the contact patch of a massive mile-long freight train is less than the contact patch of a single passenger car. Add to that metal-on-metal vs rubber-on-road and stopping can take, literally, miles.
Oh man. If the SS United States ever sails again, I WILL be onboard for the maiden voyage.
Thanks!
