Old BMW motorcycle parts are EXPENSIVE! Each cylinder head is about $1000, a crankshaft is $1800, and so on. And the engine is exactly like a beefed up 2CV engine. Would love to see this bike in person.

Had the nitro version of that truck, ate a spur gear pretty much every time I drove it.

Even better, having a 1 day performance driving course be a requirement to get a driver’s license.

They’re completely different cars, but looking from purely a financial standpoint:

What I would really like to know is why on all of my vintage cars the pump always waits until there is gas gushing out to shut off; I’ve tried pumping slower but still every single time I have gas squirting out onto the paint just as the tank fills up.

This was my first thought as well

Spoiler alert: They are all off-duty cops.

If it’s a 5 year warranty it’d really, really make sense, think of it as a $35k car, drive it for those 5 years assuming you’ll get about $12k for it at the end of that time and you’re looking at $380 a month for a pretty cool car.

He’s from South Africa, the way the truck is designed I think it has features that would make it very appealing in the developing world and that could be the strategy behind it. Personally I don’t like the design but I could see some people moving from their Land Cruisers and Hiluxes to something like this.

Close, I do know of at least two mid-20somethings who bought 90's Grand Caravans to live in them.

Also have the DVD but now the website redirects to Apex so I guess it’s no longer available. Worth a watch if you can find it but this new one will probably be better.

That said, I really like the fact that Christian was there checking the underside of the car and fueling it up.

Any nice slightly used Audi, BMW, Mercedes or Volvo station wagon would work perfectly for this, or if he’s feeling adventurous the best Alfa or Maserati he could find within the budget.

Not on tight parking spaces

The cars are easy, the huge covered sheds on the other hand...

It’d be very interesting to see the actual numbers to this, as in how many new supercars go to “old money” relative to “new”. My guess would be on the “new money” buying more of them (or maybe they just use them more, hence being seen more often) while the “old money” has their vintage car collections and yachts and…

Thanks Torch, for reminding me again of how much I want a 1960 Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite. Anyway I think I’m super tough then...

Boring passenger car with the engine right where the rear seats would be?

I mean, if we look at how tire sizes work it’s really not surprising at all.
