At 56, I’ve got ya by a couple. And IMO your wrong. Todays cars are just so much better than what we had back in the 60's & 70's. You can beat most any stock muscle car of that era in one of todays econoboxes. Today cars last longer, get better mileage, are more comfortable, and are much safer than they’ve ever been.

Silver or grey is nice...but the blue over white is the best.

Full digital or bust. It's great once you get used to it. And yes, I need gas.

1995 BMW gauge cluster:

It’s über rare, but these even came in a turbocharged version. Digital dash, power windows and locks, even sunroof standard. The one caveat - automatic transmission. Source a manual transmission and swap! (At least that’s what I did to my 87 turbo).

The 4-cylinder model is in the 3,300 lb range.

I hate seeing the 3-series on the continual end of this discussion. Yeah, there’s a lot of trophy wives and douches that drive them. They also drive lots of Audis, Infinitis, Mercedes, Acuras, et al.

I love these. I love any car that is slow as molasses going uphill, but still manages to feel like the fastest thing ever when you’re driving it. This gets bonus points for being obnoxiously noisy on top of it, so you get the whole sensory experience of going much faster than normal (especially if you haven’t every…

Went from a Boston Green Metallic beater, to a Space Grey Metallic because it had the exact options that I wanted and it was cheap with low miles on it. I would have preferred Deep Sea Blue or Black, but at least it’s metallic

Yer better off skipping the future wife as those are also future divorces which can and often do include future liquidation of assets to pay her off once it all melts down as it inevitably does.

This is percisely why I play Forza Horizon a lot. It reduces the urge to do stupid shit on the road, while allowing me to live vicariously through my video game and drive an F40 through a rally course.

It simply can’t be topped:

Yes yes yes. My 5 and I thank you.

I’ve had three German cars, and one is a 2008 which I still drive — no airbag lights on any of them. That said, it’s actually the clockspring that’s being recalled.

E38, thankyou.

How about an ‘89 Grand Wagoneer? Everything you need, nothing you don’t; and at half the maximum price, kind of a bargain.
