No, you’re not doing this right. Other great cars that are out of production that would be great to bring back are the Jeep XJ and the Mk IV Supra (but I doubt you could find a decent one for $15k). Rules are rules, buddyo. The E39 M5 is a car that is no longer in production and should be brought back. But keep…

“Discontinued cars that deserve to be made again”

The E39 has.

Like most eBay challenges, this question is easily answered with an E39 M5. Sure, the E60 has a V10. Sure, the F10 is more modern and has all the gizmos, but if BMW introduced this today I’d buy it over a new one. This 2003 example, at $14,500, leaves a few bucks leftover to fix those awful smoked out tail lights.

Kinja hanlde checks out.

The difference is this looks good.

High beltline, not enough greenhouse, and wtf are those tail lights?

How about one of those slider doohickeys where we can compare rear ends?

Do you mean that LMP1 cars are around 1000 kg? Because NA P1s are 850 kg minimum, and hybrids are 870 kg minimum.

Not sure if serious. A ‘93 would have been an E34. Mine is an ‘01 E39 540i. The E36 was a typo.

And words and their meanings change. Just like “literally” now can mean “figuratively,” “assault rifle” now means black scary looking gun, and that’s just the way language works. Also, getting your panties in a wad over a technicality in nomeneclature is evidence that your forest:tree ratio is way off.

Why the repost? I’m not complaining, as this is the hard hitting journalism I expect from Torch, but it was first up only five weeks ago?

C’mon, live a little. A 30 every six hours isn’t unheard of in prescriptions for people who sleep. For race-watchers, that’s 15mg per 3 hours, or a 5mg sweet blue snack every hour for a whole day. It’ll keep you up and active and drinking and THEN you go to rehab.

Nowhere in this post did I see the word “adderall.” 120 mg should get anyone through the day.

I’d absolutely like to see that. I get that racing is advertising and if one car is on the front no one else gets paid, but I’d like to see the prototypes as close to unlimited as possible, and the GT classes be as close to road-car as possible.

I didn’t know about the Jaguar-Broadspeed XJ12. I was trying to figure out why an E9 didn’t have kidneys.

This may be the one time where a misused contraction actually makes sense. Russian accent “Makes Chinook look like it is bitch.”

Fuuuuuck BoP. I watch racecars race because racecars, and I want to see the baddest mother of a racecar go do racecar things. If one racecar manufacturer made a racecar better than another manufacturer’s racecar I want to see it racecar better than the other racecar. Racecar.

Alright, I started paying attention around the CTS-V acquisition. What confused me was the concurrent GT-R and Hummer ownership. I still maintain you should get an old Alfa Duetto for your next car. Something horribly unreliable. Better yet, an XJS. invest the leftover cash and save a little for maintenance and have…

Doug, what’s the timeline on your “buy a car to write about” purchases? You sold the Skyline to buy the Aston. Did you sell the Hummer to buy the Skyline? Was there any overlap? I can’t remember such important details.
