Have you ever purchased a supercar? Not really a supercar but I own an '06 M5 which despite having four doors has more power and speed than a lot of supercars do.

Damn East side drivers. :)

Kinja won't let me link more than one picture per post today.

Well, both Ford and GM produced refrigerators (and other kitchen equipment like ranges as well). I once helped build a kegerator out of an old Philco (A division of Ford Motor Company) refrigerator.

My first thought was basically the same. Oh those poor shifter bushings.

All that money to buy the car and absolutely no taste in color combinations. Dark blue and bare carbon, well that's good. Yellow accents and wheels? Well that's not good. Green calipers under the yellow wheels? Well that's really not good. I wonder if the interior is yet another contrasting color.

When my grandfather retired from Lima engine he received a lamp made out of the crank shaft from the V8 truck engines he worked on for most of his career. My father has the lamp now and I REALLY want it. The biggest problem is that it weighs right around 150 pounds because well it's a crank shaft not a cam shaft so…

My first ever experience with being called for jury duty I drew the short straw here in Ohio and got called for grand jury duty. So with grand jury the "invite" comes registered mail, so they know you got it, unlike with normal jury duty where it is just a letter in the mail (at least here in Ohio). So, I show up to…

Either works, and apparently there is no brain to be functioning this morning. I actually meant the E60 M5 though.

This one is easy. E90 M5. Wonderful to drive, terrible to own.

For most of my non-automotive friends I explain that things are pretty simple. CEL on, that's emissions and you can usually ignore it unless you are due for e-Check, if you don't want to ignore it go to Autozone and get the code pulled and they'll tell you the $30 part that will fix it and I'll teach you how to…

Appears to crash much less than the last VNX array I was forced to work with, good for EMC.

So rental car plates died out for a while, but they've recently come back. This is especially evident in Colorado, where the rental cars all have bright red license plates that say "FLEET" on the side, as if to tell everyone: I am an idiot tourist. Please murder me and steal my fanny pack. Also: which way to the…

We flew Qatar Airways from Philly to Doha to Male for vacation last month and the quality of service even in coach is amazing. I wish they flew more destinations because I'd fly with them anywhere.

As an E60 M5 owner who thought $24k for that car was obviously a better choice than $24k for a new BRZ I can definitely feel this article. 500HP vs 200HP. Heated leather seats that automatically hug you in the corners vs cloth seats. 12.8 MPG when I drive it fairly gentle vs maybe 25 MPG when I'd trash the living…

This just doesn't seem that impressive to me from a tuning perspective. Aren't folks getting nearly that WHP rating out of the engine without a pulley change?

My vote is still for the Eneloop Pros but I have to say I'm surprised that any of the choices that made the final list were non-LSD type batteries. I might have put the MAHA Imedions on my list of the top 3 but I definitely wouldn't have put any non-LSD battery on it. I own some Imedions and they are still used, in…

Eneloop Pro, formerly Eneloop XX. The only real contest here might be between Eneloop Pros and the normal 1900 mAh Eneloop but I go with the Pros in my strobes because they seem to cycle just a bit faster than the normal Eneloops do and I get about 30% more shots before they run dry.

Wait, where did Doug find a place to meet women that didn't require pants to get in?
