Sorry to be all curmudgeony and hey-you-kids-get-off-my-lawny. But NASCAR has been stupid and boring ever since “stock cars” became racing cars with nothing in common with anything anyone drives on the street, with only a fake rough approximation of a production car body on the outside.

How every free enterprise economic system/capitalism has worked since Adam Smith described it around the time the US was founded.

When the awesome downsized 1962 Dodge wasn’t selling they put a 1961 Dodge front clip and interior on the same-body 1962 Chrysler to make the 880 sometime around mid-model year. The early 60's were really the peak years for Chrysler dashboards and steering wheels.

When videotape was new 60 years ago Steve Allen on the Tonight Show used to do stuff and play the tape in reverse. Hilarity ensued.

But by established Western companies. Other GM cars (among others) are made in Mexico and South Korea. 

So apparently from the article the BMW roundels like the one on the Vixen I came across are owner applied.

It looks like you could stand up in maybe one location, given that the highest headroom part is mostly pointlessly over the kitchen counter. 

Walking over the hill from the Haight to Castro back then I came across one just like that, with the stripes and the BMW roundel on the front. I assumed it was made in Europe in association with BME. Why else use a probably super expensive engine prone to need super expensive repairs using super expensive parts? Given

Two or three years of depreciation might be plenty. 

Erik claimed both engines were in-line, not V’s.

I’m guessing that they are configurable.
