It’s really oxymoronic.....you make a living off of conspicuous consumption, but you don’t come off as a total popped collar asshole. Bravo sir, bravo—you’re a mystery, wrapped in an enigma.

I was thinking the same thing. My chainsaw requires about 40 minutes of sweating and cursing to get it going, including three breaks where I hurl the thing down and go get a beer to calm down. You think they told the kids stories or threw on a DVD in the backseat entertainment system to keep the kids happy while all…

Just goes to show how much the journalists who slammed it for the purpose of generating interest/headlines/inducing emotions (=revenue) suck.

Now I’m imagining Mr. Crazy getting out the chainsaw and not being able to get it started because it’s either out of fuel or he got the oil/gas ratio wrong.

Yeah, all the chainsaws I’ve ever owned have a (published!) startup procedure involving “push the primer bulb 37 times, pull the start cord 3 times, wait 15 seconds, turn the choke all the way on, pull the cord an additional 2 times, wait 3 minutes, turn the choke fully off, and then pull the cord until the saw…

Seriously. He’s a short monologue away from being a movie villain.

Maybe he had the only chainsaw that always starts first crank and no warm up minute.

Woah woah woah there...let’s not get too hypothetical here. It’s the real world and we all know when you’re cut off or tailgated by a road-ragey driver your responsibility is to defend your honor by seeking an in-person confrontation to let them know how much of a terrible person they are so they might learn their…

You get your damned crazy “logic” outta my internets!

So I have this crazy idea here.......it’s intricate, so bear with me. I’m thinking that it probably took a minute or two for the guy to get the chainsaw out of the car, and at least 3-4 pulls to crank it up. Now here’s where I get outside the box—-what if, as an alternate course of action—-instead of sitting still…

Didn't read through that, but I know you put your heart and soul into it, so here's a like.

On February 6, 1998 President Bill Clinton signed legislation^[19] changing the airport's name from Washington National Airport to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport

No worries....the S50 was just the one year only 1995 M3 motor. You most commonly see it in swaps like this because it’s OBDI, vs the OBDII S52.

It's been called 'Reagan' for nearly 20 years.

Get over it. What’s it been now? Almost 20 years?

Looks like an S52 to me (from the US-Spec M3/Z3M). Neither an S50 nor an M50. The S50 was never sold in the US.

Classic Range Rovers. 50% of the electrics don’t work, but when they do, you push the window switches down for the window to go up, and up for the window to go down. Maddening.

Forgive the BMW nerdiness, but it’s an S50, not an M50......the S50 was the 1995 M3 motor, the M50 was just a regular old 325i 6 cylinder.
