It’s 2. I was a Chevy dealership parts guy, I know these cars too well for comfort.

I also traded my 1979 BMW 320i for a 1987 BMW 325es. My 320i had an immaculate engine, transmission, suspension and brakes thanks to yours truly, but the body of the car and the interior were in poor condition. the 325es had a near mint body and interior, but all four shocks were dead, all the brakes were toast and…

The first car I ever purchased from a private party on my own was a 1980 633CSi. I live in PA and bought the thing in NJ. It was a stick shift, and I couldn’t drive stick, but I wanted to learn. Paid the guy’s full $3500 asking price. Ended up putting $400 into a full tune up, then I discovered that the original…

I’m fairly young, my first car was my dad’s 1990 BMW 325is with the Alpine audio equipment. I went on to buy a 1980 633CSi, and in trying to find the least offensive aftermarket head-unit, I discovered how Blaupunkts were the OEM units of BMW yesteryear. And lucky was I to find that they still produced new ones with…

I recently submitted my passport. I was doing my research as I wanted to have everything in order and be as efficient as possible. So as I’m trying to find out where to submit it, I decide on my local post office. Keep in mind, I’m in no rush so this happened over the course of several months. I was told that some…

Any vintage German car enthusiast has heard of Becker and Blaupunkt.

Travis Long, if you see this, know I thought of you.

Oh I believe you. I was just saying that it rare that a GM dealer will install a non GM part on a GM car. I was in the parts department and I personally only ever authorized it a small handful of times. The biggest one is with older vehicles where parts are no longer available, such in the case of a 1972 Corvette we…

Assuming this applies to used cars as well as new ones, I’d like to buy an E34 generation 540i BMW with a 6 speed manual transmission. Black over black with heated seats.

As someone who worked at a Chevy dealership, I can confirm.

I often forget that I can’t pump my gas when I’m in Jersey and get yelled at lol

What? I came here expecting a good old fashioned Tesla bashing! I am unfollowing.

Bugatti probably could, but they likely choose not to. Cars HAVE gone over 300MPH. The technology IS there. But race tires don’t have to be DOT compliant. The issue here isn’t that these companies can’t make a 300MPH tire, it’s that the cost of R&D-ing a DOT compliant street tire is higher than their desired ROT…

My 2018 Chevy Cruze RS. No pictures because why would I? Options include 6 speed manual transmission, alloy wheels, 8" infotainment thing with Bluetooth and heated, cloth “bucket” seats. Has a real spoiler too, neat. Between 21-40 MPG depending on how I drive it. Traded in my 2007 BMW 335i convertible on it. Allows me…

Race tires and production tires are two completely different things, pal

I don’t live in NYC so I don’t have to experience this on a daily basis, but every time I’ve taken the MTA subway (which is honestly maybe 4 round trips over the course of 20 years), I’ve always been lucky to have no delays or interruptions, enough room to comfortably sit, and no weird experiences of any kind. I…

I don’t have AAA, but I get free towing through All State, who is my insurance company. I totally abuse this service, often towing my junk and friends junk from house to house, and for a bit, to the car lot where I worked so I could fix it myself. In the past three years and maybe fifty tows, I probably used this…

I love you, Torch. Don’t ever change.

Oh, simple enough.

What’s that?
