Instead of just fixing the 318ti...while you’re in there, spend the money to drop in a refreshed 6-cylinder (M52 perhaps) and a lower mileage 5-speed and renew your love for the E36/5.

“Darling?”

Well then, velvet ropes would open, etc, etc.

She heard that. 

I have no qualms with the Gone in 60 Seconds remake, but I hate the Mustang that launched a thousand awful clones. If you own one of these, you are not a connoisseur, you’re a self-indulgent wiener.

I hate to say it, but $100k is the new $75k. Cars generally have gotten more expensive across the board, especially performance cars. I think a better way to look at Corvette prices is to compare them to their competitors of the time. For example:

Seriously, people, don’t be heroes. If someone breaks into your home to take your stuff, let them. File the insurance report later. There is nothing in your home, save yourselves and family (even then, fleeing is probably more sensible than fighting), that is worth fighting to keep. The crooks have already decided it…

I don’t think Chevy intended to keep the model line going. They came out at a very rough time economically, and I believe I remembered hearing GM took a loss on every model they sold, because they were marketing a technologically advanced but ultimately fairly pedestrian car to a middle-class public. If they tried to…

ehh, person without the wrap so long as they don’t have boomer brain, will probably just shrug and say cool wrap man.

So long as they maintain low end trims and a-la-cart options I’m fine with them milking rich idiots for profit.

I’ve been saying this for a while. It’s depressing how much stuff GM pioneered and then dumped. GM should have been Tesla, but instead of setting up a separate division to build electric cars, they shelved all the work they’d done on the EV-1 (which had a small but passionate following) and moved on. Same thing with…

The last few years, they were ALL turbos. And I love them dearly. Heck, I even loved the utterly base automatic 100hp Pop I rented that got me into them in the first place. SO MUCH FUN, you keep your foot pinned to the floor and let it rev, rev, rev. The average American won’t be caught dead in one. Amusingly, they…

Hurts me to say this, but NA Miata. I don’t want to call it a Lotus Elan ripoff, but for all intents and purposes, it was. It was the late 80's best interpretation of Elan. They even tested like 96 exhaust systems to come up with the sound best reminds of Lotus twin cam.

This is utterly pointless. And absolutely awesome.

I feel all of that, right down to motorcycles though that’s what the Miatas replaced due to being 59

Hot take. The US best bet to combat the “evil threat of BYD” is to subsidize Kia and Hyundai vehicles. American manufacturers simply are not innovative enough to generate demand.

I appreciate your dedication and I get it. I dearly miss that car but it’s also been 20+ years and sometimes I wonder how much of my desire is misplaced nostalgia. I’ve trolled BaT a few times, but 93Ts that aren’t frankensteined together are pushing 30K, and that’s 2-3 Miatas plus Ohlins, turbos and all the other…

Do they actually want Chinese EVs or do they simply want more cheap EV offerings?

The G70 represents one of the best value proposition for sports sedans out there

The Genesis G70 is probably the closest any automaker has come to recreating the excellent driving feel of the legendary BMW 3 Series.
