I bought an '84 944 in 1990-91 that had 11k orig miles on it and absolutely loved that car.  I've never driven a 968 but if they drive near what the 944 did, I would definitely buy one.  It's strange though, their prices have never fallen anywhere near what the 944's have.  Not sure why that is.

Had a similar car, an '85 325e but a 4 door auto that was just a rock.  Always ran well, always started, just a totally reliable car.  Until it shorted out and almost burned down.  The entire electrical system fried and just wasn't worth fixing, so the insurance company took it and I imagine auctioned it for parts. …

This ^^^^^.  Have a 2004 545i and it's a nightmare of unreliability.  Hoping to unload that tank this weekend.  Wish me luck.

A colleague had one of these and after we parked from lunch and were walking in, I asked him if he ever felt out of his Element.  He said no and said he really enjoyed being in different situations and loved being with different people.  Fortunately another coworker was there who just grinned and carried on.  Sad day.

Yeah, no.  No thanks.  Looks vaguely like a BRZ/86, although I do see some of the Mk IV in there, just doesn't remotely appeal to me and certainly doesn't look like a high end sports car IMHO.

Sorry for your loss, sincerely.

This.  So much this.  I have a 2004 545i and I've done some of those fixes myself as well (coolant related ones, etc.) but the one I'm struggling with now is an Active Steering f-up/fault that just won't go away.  I'm trying to find a new ring with brushes that ride on a compact-disc looking part as my brushes are…

The Macan has been around since 2013?  The earliest one I could find is from 2015, as I was interested in seeing how depreciation has affected them (not much for the 2015's).

Sounds exactly like the owner of an E60, of which I am one. I am currently trying to offload a 2004 545i that I’ve just dropped about $1,000 into fixing all the regular over-engineering but under developed crap that goes wrong with these on a regular basis, but like Michael Corleone, it just keeps breaking and…

That's not a Ferrari, that's a Corvette with Ferrari emblems.

Totally agree.  I think they cleaned up the previous design and except for the droopy grill, I like it a lot.  I sat in a new K900 last week and that interior was miles nicer than any Lexus at the show (no MB, BMW or LR at the show to compare sadly, and what in the world is up with Lexus' nav system?  An…

Good grief, I remember reading that first story about the Mustang and your brother. Seems longer than just 2 years ago. I understand about your delay as I have a ‘68 Camaro ex-ISCA showcar sitting in my garage with a blown oil ring in the 302.  It's been probably a year since that happened and although I trailered it…

381?  Do you mean 318?

Put your tools away.

Great article! Would love to hear more about that day, esp about KR riding that TZ and what his thoughts were.  How much were you off the race pace?  Good stuff Jalop.

Ronal Bears.  Wow.  I have *got* to get to one of these shows.

When I was at an MB dealer 2 or 3 years ago I was looking at a new CLS and the salesman told me that the rear seat had an option to delete the console in favor of an extra center seat.  Never saw one, but that’s what he said.

The clear coat post-polishing is absolutely needed to keep them clear for a period of time longer than a couple months and the step that most people (myself included) have skipped, but if you don’t want to have to do this again next spring, do the clear coat.

I vote you do whatever you have to do to put in a transmission cooler before you go. Might be your saving grace.

Love your collection. You do you. I have twin Camaros, a 1968 former ISCA show car that still has the wild paint and chrome from 1979 and a 2017 Camaro RS convertible; both silver with black tops (vinyl roof on the ‘68). I see your post as a challenge of sorts :) Best of luck.
