I’m all for having the older car, but...

Also, 2013 128i. Last mainstream BMW under 3,200 lbs, last NA straight six BMW, last hydraulic steering “fun” BMW.

And ever since! Although the F355 is hard to beat in the sound department. I didn’t mean to say 48V at all—thinking about too many cars at once.

Which Ferrari do you own? I always lusted after the 308/328/355 cars, but it’s starting to look unlikely that group will be worth the price of admission in several years. Maybe I just need something wedge-shaped that doesn’t try to kill me for taking the targa top off. Yeah, that’s it.

N73*

I wasn’t suggesting that someone would, but that such a sum of money has such monumental buying power and the price delta between an embarrassing Mondial and a modern car with the same positive attributes is significant. I respect that many Mondial owners are keeping their old cars on the road and being satisfied with…

Whoops, was just thinking about swapping an N72 into 8 series earlier, Freudian slip. That would be an interesting V8! All it takes is an idiot like me to plant the idea!

Relatively serviceable Ferrari 48V V8 mated to a gated manual for $23,000. While insufferable, pretentious Ferrari owners laugh, I’ll have a QV Ferrari motor screaming behind me and wind in my hair—without dropping enough money to feed thousands of starving children for a year to earn their acceptance.

C4 Z51s were kicked out of showroom stock racing for embarassing 308GTS/3.2 Carreras while handling like a truck? I need a truck.

I just love these blanket statements that always seem naked without being followed by “bro.”

I disagree here and, perhaps because I’m biased, I find this cooler /roomier than more modern Corvette interiors and far more ergonomic than its predecessors. If you can’t embrace the character of an old car it’s better off in the hands of someone who appreciates the 80s-ness of the whole experience. There are…

One thing I hopelessly wish automakers would do is to stop trying to make naturally aspirated feeling engines with turbochargers. Give them the low-rev wallop, even with a little lag—or supercharge (as I wish BMW would have done)/make NA power and efficiency at a higher cost. Nothing is like the instant response,…

In America, where wealth/celebrity is worshiped to a pretty great extent and the right to worship is "always under attack!"

Would you also recommend renting a smaller cargo ship equipped for a crane when picking it up?

First world problems!

Haha I couldn't care less about photo (if that's what that potato product can be called) creds but I appreciate the consideration! I just wanted to add a bit of context for the trans itself in case you ended up on AOTD to show how I waste my life on stuff like C4s. Cheers

Hey, my knob is on Jalopnik. For the sake of useless information...

The Doug Nash 4+3 only has problems if the owner really is asking for them. And it's fun.

That was a great opportunity to be really ostentatious! Then again, seizing all opportunities is the mark of just about anyone who can buy a dozen supercars every year—after paying taxes, of course.

2. I didn't "invent the modern turbocharger in my basement." I don't even have a basement.
