You’re correct, but your regular John Q. Public is not too likely to look through  70,000 pages of tax code, or really understand any of it. Outside of deducting work shoes or whatever, it’s difficult to get any advantage. Unless, like I said above, you stand to save enough that you’ll profit after you pay your tax…

This is the important part here. In order for this to work out your reduction in tax liability has to be greater than your costs spent hiring your tax adviser, so it’s really only applicable for people making boatloads of cash.

So don’t read it.

Was he radioing the drivers directly? How’d that all work?

Does anyone remember the Subway Inn at 60th and Lexington in New York? There was a barkeet named Tony who worked there in 2003 or 2004 and this video was a verbatim transcript of every conversation I had with him.

There’s an right hand drive R32 at a shady used car lot in my area. I need to go test drive it.

Damn Bavarians, putting a V8 in my 5er.

Hybrid spaceship tech is cool and all. NA V8 prototypes are cooler.

Is love to see the Border Patrol use the ol’ Saudi Sandbag.

You’re correct concerning modern BMWs and their handling and feeling. I based my statements on ‘90s/early ‘00s bimmers which is their high point imo. Think how awesome an E46 would be with a 2JZ. Fantastic chassis that doesn’t poop out a cooling system every 70,ooo miles sounds great.

While we’re talking about M70 powered BMWs, here’s a fun blog where a guy compares the M62 to the M70. Somewhere in there he talks about RPM vs roadspeed and how the V8 ends up whooshing more air through itself than the V12 at low to moderate speeds.

Well that’s disappointing.

Former Glory? F30? Something’s wrong here.

Is this the supposed Toyota/BMW partnership? Because I’d love to see car that handles like a BMW with a powerplant built by someone that doesn’t view entire cooling systems, fuel pumps, and turbos as wear items.

It seriously needs the side trim pieces. Still NP. I had an ‘88 900 that was just a superb little car. The only drawback here is parts are getting scarce.

Acceleration kept me out of an accident in high school. I was driving a ‘68 Toronado on a dinky country road trying to cross a two lane country highway with 45 mph limits. Stop signs for me. None on the highway. There was a blind hill to my left, and a sign warning approaching drivers of a blind intersection. I pull…

Well damn.

A Z3 was pretty much an E36 roadster.

The wheels look like a Lego kit, but the bodywork, wow. The bodywork looks more like a Mazda than Porsche’s or Audi’s LMPs look like Porsches or Audis. That’s a good lookin’ car right there.

I like old cars, quirky cars, things that don’t quite work right. The Vanquish looks nicer than anything I’ll ever be able to afford.
