This is EXACTLY what I was seeking. THANK YOU.

Genuine question to anyone who has driven one of these: How does it drive? How does it compare to an M3 of the era, or an m5, or some other comp car.

I’m a big fan of due process. So, no, I don’t think vehicles seized should be wantonly sold off until and unless those charged have their day in court and are found guilty of laws passed by an elected government that says that punishment for breaking such laws include forfeiture of assets involved in said breaking.

This is a total NP and I’m a former e39 m5 owner who sold a 2001 m5 in 2014, with 130k miles, for $16.5k.

Useless article and metrics is useless.

Owned and driven Saab, Ford, Subaru, BMW, VW/Audi, and other 1.8-2.5 liter turbo 4s going all the way back to a 1988 model (Ford thunderbird turbo coupe which was easily 10-20 years ahead of it’s time).

My first car was an ‘88 thunderbird turbo coupe 5-speed, which was basically a successor to the SVO. They had the same engine, albeit the ‘88 was basically a BIT more powerful with a few tweaks to it’s 2.3 liter intercooled turbocharged 4 cyl.

Actual reporting summaries:

My favorite “i got screwed” experiences:

As a BMW guy who loves the e46.....no. freaking. dice.

He was equating a review headline, which he called out as clickbait and did not attempt to justify, with a commenters username. Because BACKING DOWN IS NOT AN OPTION MoFo!

Ya ever notice how some of the biggest and best content platforms in the world, with decades-long growth, have focused on simplicity, usability, and a consistent look and feel?

“Super Spreader” is not well defined but the most consistent appears to be when one person spreads it to 8 or more others. That is not shown in this study. But then, “Super spreader” is not clearly defined. And it’s been dominated now by media.

I have a personal story behind my vote: In 2003 I bought a 1995 volvo 850 turbo with ~120k miles on it for $3,350. Automatic, sedan, black on black.

I’m not arguing your point, I’m arguing the way it was presented. It was presented as a super spreader event (which their own statistics argue against) and as a huge increase in national incidence (which is not supported by the data). I’m not saying a huge packed rally with nearly half a million people didn’t increase…

Soooo.....let’s talk some statistics, since we are tossing them around here:

I had a 2006 Civic SI and drove it for 110k miles before selling it for 40% of MSRP.

So I own a ‘19 Wrangler Sahara 4-door 6mt and this is awesome, but a few comments:

The challenge is this type of corporate espionage isn’t caught the majority of the time.

Yep, missed this totally. Guess I gotta change my vote...
