Disagree. The E30 M3 was a necessary improvement over the stock E30 chassis, never mind the drivetrain, to make it competitive against the Cosworth Benz on the Touring circuit. That lead to the homologation requirements for the M3, that lead to many happy things for drivers all around the globe, for many years to…

Yeah well, back in the 80's I did a comic book for a girl I was smitten with. Might call it a graphic novel these days. I was an art major and working my way through college, so money for anything substantive was out of the question. IIRC she "Xed" out each page and sent it back.

Chappaquiddick Bridge?

Yep, great choice.

Developed as a pet project for a few engineers. Promptly orphaned on the showroom floor.

Quite envious of you - - I was smitten with Ann back in the 90's!

Perhaps Nomi palmed this style, but he was always aware of the visual impact of his performance

You now perfectly well that BOTH the pilot and copilot will have the same meal.

it's a 996. Maybe he's carrying a replacement IMS bearing in the bag? In which case, I kinda' respect a company for developing a carrying bag for not only a specific make, not only a specific make and model, but a carrying bag for a specific part, for a specific model, of a specific make.

Nope, it's not because you're from West Africa. I'm from Maine and the thoughts of spending $200/night ( think it's more than that, btw) to sleep in a glorified ice rink is beyond my grasp as well.

Yeah, there are lots of experts out there on every make and model. I have a (z3) M Coupe. I've been told: there is no such thing as an M Coupe and that mine's a convertible with a fiberglass top (I had one guy actually try to take a piece of the trim off to prove his point, that didn't go well); that it's either an…

To add to secret weapons of the IJN at the start of the war was the long-lance torpedo. It was the best torpedo in the pacific theatre for the majority of the war and was a nasty surprise to the British and US navies.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but the Yamato-class battleships were top secret and to this day the complete designs have not been found. Small portions of the blue prints have turned up, but the data is far from complete. Even most of the engineers who worked on the ship never saw complete plans for…

James Dean's 550. Find it and I'd gladly drive anywhere in North America to see it. Not for morbid curiosity, but because of the mystery of the wreck.
