I just saw them two months ago. Unless they dropped the old bodies on a modern chassis or something, they’re still running at Yellowstone.

My entire history of performance car ownership began and ended with an out-of-warranty 335i. I owned it for 6 months before it went through $3,000 worth of fuel injectors. That’s more than my first three car purchases put together.

I totally remember reading this article at the time. I both cracked up at the absurd comparisons (how much effort did they put into finding and mounting a ferrari red gun rack in the 348?) and loved the notion of the little townie truck turned up to 11. Good times.

Just one of their studios (the one that made SimCity, predictably)

My wife replaced our aging Legacy wagon with a Prius. I reflexively protested, but after doing some research, I realized that the Prius was:

The answer is always 911

Indeed. A slant six is the best argument against the inevitability of entropy.

Salute!

We sold an old diesel Rabbit to our next door neighbor in a “sweetheart deal because you seem like a nice guy who’s down on his luck” kinda situation. He couldn’t afford the whole $300 all at once, so we agreed to let him make payments.

Our big decision was; should we hold the title until he paid it off, or sign it…

That’s a pretty good/big point. Snowmobile engines get to bypass regulations that a car cannot.

Seen them live twice. They put on a good show these days. My favorit TKK/racing track is this one. Not sure what movie they sampled from, but it sounds like the awesome kind of cheezy. “And then he picked up an oil can and threw it at me, almost knocked out my teeth, and I told him that’s crazy! I have to race in 20…

There’s a ‘barn’ in rural NH chock full of 356's, 914's, Lotus Europas and a ton of other 60's and 70's semi-exotics. There’s a main storage building with about a dozen of the best ones (including a racing Europa), and a collection of shacks, sheds, and lean-tos with 20 or so others. I can’t tell you how much time I…

Depending on your definition, I’d say it is actually rare. They didn’t make many manual SC’s

I’m a terrible driveway mechanic, I’ll just get that right out of the way.

I had two garages mention to me that my Caravan had a leaking valve cover gasket. It was only making a silver dollar sized drip, and I couldn’t bring myself to pay garage prices for a little fix. Armed with youtube walkthroughs and a healthy…

Back when “absorbing bumps” meant big tires with low pressure.

When my wife replaced her ‘92 Subaru wagon with a Prius, my car friends piled on the mockery.

I pointed out that in every measure but interior cargo space, the Prius absolutely was a performance upgrade.

They aren’t fast cars at all by modern standards, but if I time warped back to my late 80’s high school in our…

I did gobs of research, read old reviews, and settled on a G35 as my first “driver’s car”. I maintained a spreadsheet of all the viable craigslist options, and tracked them for months. I even created an indexing system to chart the desirability of each car (based on color, options, transmission, etc), and value.

I…

I’m on this list.

I’ve been a driving fan for the greater part of 4 decades (reading old racing books, car histories, playing racing sims), when my wife and I finally decided I could afford a less practical vehicle than the 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan I was commuting in. We stretched some, moved to a lower cost of living…

I tend to hold onto cars until their next repair bill would be significantly more than the value of the repaired car.

I have a 2001 Grand Caravan that we’ve spent $2500 in repairs on this year. It feels like a lot of money, but if I’d spent that $2500 on replacing it, I wouldn’t have done any better.
