...aaaand it’s gone, as it should be. BMWs of this era are among the loveliest, though I never cared for the slightly droopy rear of the E23. But that’s just me, and this is cheap enough to give you many satisfactory choices for what to do with it.

My New Year’s resolution is not to buy Florida Man’s bad decisions. ND.

Selling after 700 miles? Sorry, friend, if you can’t live with your creation, neither can we. ND.

Not for anything supposedly “special” about it, but for being a nicely kept runner, in this market–NP.

This is in that weird place many high-end German cars reach. Cheap enough to trap buyers who aren’t prepared for the cost of owning it. Too long in the tooth to attract those who could handle it. ND.

I was about to say, this is insanely well preserved except for the forces of entropy at work on that ’80s GM interior.

I use it like most people, to wake up drivers at green lights or warn someone who’s about to merge with my fender. And occasionally I use it to say “That was not OK,” but it has to be pretty extreme, like someone blowing a red light across my path.

Nice! Yeah, it’s the combo with silver that doesn’t work for me on the Baja.

On the rare occasions when I see these, they’re always in this ugly yellow/silver combo. That aside, it seems well-sorted enough if this is what you want. NP.

Oh, look, it’s the steering wheel from my old Taurus.

Oh no...

If it could cash the checks it’s writing, I might be able to forgive the looks. Let’s face it, many racecars aren’t objectively beautiful. But this is just a hideous poser-mobile.

Eh, if this is your thing, roll the dice. You’ll probably get $5K of use out of it before it goes hopelessly bad. I do wonder, though, how much attention can you really give to any one of your 23 Land Rovers?

...kudos to your tenacity and iron will.

This doesn’t look like the typical seller trying to recoup his outlay on questionable mods. Seems more like lowering your risk of something big breaking a month after you bring it home. NP.

Well preserved but still just a late ’90s econobox that happens to be a convertible. ND.

If you’ve ever owned a treadmill, you know how heavy, unwieldy and space-hogging it is for a machine that typically ends up rarely used. The glimpse of the mechanism behind the seats reminded me of a piece of exercise equipment, taking up real estate for its all-too-infrequent use. This must have been really cool to

I guess when you know the individual pilots’ work habits, that can be a good thing or a bad thing. I think I would only use that knowledge to guide what instructions not to give.

I...don’t hate it? But the Mini headlights aren’t doing it any favors. And the integration of the taillights, which seem to be from the shooting brake version, is a little clunky. Also, is the rear end up to handling the extra horses? I don’t know. Anyway, it’s kinda cool, but not for $34K. ND.

Truly sir, you know how to enjoy your car like a man!
