Catz0 explained it well. These are well-invested old money who complain about being charged $0.05 for a bag at the supermarket. They didn’t get rich for generations by carelessly spending pennies. They might have $8m custom-designed homes, but they’ll invent some standard to compare it to where they’re coming out…

Twenty years is decades, and go to any reasonable show in Vermont and you’ll see crazy guys who’ve been building them and other fringe setups for that long or longer. I’ve personally seen pedal-powered aero three-wheelers in Burlington (not electric, but you get the idea), veggie conversions have been going on since a…

Bingo.

Oh it’s a stupid decision financially. So is buying a new car at all, and so is the out-of-staters compulsion to build new homes identical to their neighbors when there are properties waiting for buyers. But they like justifying these decisions my saying that they’re saving money compared to some arbitrary…

Have you been here? Vermonters have been driving electric cars for decades. All the charging spots I know of are full pretty much constantly. Admittedly, few of these are Superchargers, but it’s a system that people would probably appreciate being adopted.

So here’s a thing. Some people—wait for it—some people don’t live in New York City.

Unsurprising, as there’s less to go wrong the older the car is. My 1986 E24 was much the same for the first three years of ownership (until it was time to get engine and trans re-sealed, plus clutch and front suspension refresh, to the tune of about $6500), but it was still always cheaper to maintain than my…

On the bright side, Jordan’s moronic input here provided an excellent test case for Godwin’s law...

As opposed to all those beater McLaren F1s sitting in backyards in Cleveland.

Manual only.

5. You call for an Uber, and when you go out to the car you find yourself facing a well-maintained Chevy HHR. 

Overfender. Basically bolts on (sometimes welded, sometimes adhesive-mounted if you don’t give a shit). It’s basically an alternative to pocket flares for people who want a wider track, but still a more “time trail” look than a Fast and Furious bodykit. I believe it’s also meant to replicate a NACA vent (in the front,…

Good for you. So when you need to work in Monterey on Tuesday and New York on Wednesday night, do you drive or take the bus?

Again, that guy has a European M3. If you’re an American or Canadian reading this website, the only E36 you can get (barring the 47 or so Canadian Euros, which Americans can’t get for another two years anyway), is a bored-and-stroked 328is, which is cheap to maintain. Like any German car, do your homework and don’t…

If he ever finds out this rule exists, he’ll make the ban indefinite. No way would he allow anyone to spend money abroad. It’ll be another four or eight years before this should be brought up to an administration.

Wait, what’s 1995? Even the oldest of these three was born in 1997. Was the fourth car stolen by an incarnate OBDII system?

Not a factory manual wagon. That’s gotta be a sketchy car to be asking $5k, given that most manual-swapped E34s go for $14-25k.

I think I’ll just let him explain his (brother’s) “500 horsepower” SRT4 himself. Disclaimer: Video is old AF and shit, but the comments are YouTube gold.

For those paying attention, that’s 100 more ponies and 31 more torques than you get with a 335i and it’s within shouting distance of the top-of-the-line M4.
