Texas is like the Florida of the midwest.

Ah, the vaunted “Friday Afternoon Special”. I retract my previous statement, this man is sitting on a gold mine.

You misread the headline. He thinks his car is worth $25k, not that the shopping cart caused $25k worth of damage. To be fair, both are equally ridiculous propositions.

I always thought the Porsche Cayman would make a good convertible. Nice mid-engined construction, powerful enough to have fun with, well-balanced. Why haven’t they ever done that?

In 18 months they’re going to announce the Demon 171, the Final Final ICE-powered dodge muscle car, with 1,026 hp.

As I was wrapping up a tour in Afghanistan 2010-2011, I was really eyeballing air-cooled 911s. 964s were pretty plentiful, and the prices hadn’t taken off on them yet. Still kicking myself for passing on them back then.

Going to go hang out in karaoke bars and wait for a woman wearing pants to step up and sing. Then it’s time to cash in.

NP. Good examples have been holding steady in price for a while now, all while getting older.

Coming from Kentucky, there was no money and shit roads, but at least they kept taxes were low. So at least we weren’t paying for what we weren’t getting.

Sounds like sOcIaLiSm to me though!!!

A quick google search says Xcel services 3.7 million customers in Minnesota. One dollar per customer per month would have this more than paid for in under a year.

it’s been a while since I’ve had anything to do with E46s, but if I recall correctly, the coupes failed more often than sedans and wagons. The rear ends were not quite the same, I know the coupes lost a bit of rigidity due to the pass through seats. 

I’m a simple poor who drives used German cars, but that seems like a lot of money for a Mustang.

I wouldn’t worry about it. As a later model, and especially a sedan, it’s more than likely fine.

yeah, they’re nothing like BMW V8s of the era. The M54 itself is extremely reliable. Some of the accessories, a little less so. But the engine itself doesn’t pose any hidden worries.

I had upgraded mine at around 120k miles, but the stock one was still fine at that point.

This is what I sold my non-zhp ‘01 330i with six speed for about a decade ago, although I had closer to 200k on the clock at the time. Probably a good price. Still miss that car sometimes.

I can’t think of anything on this car that would qualify as a “live grenade”, short of it was run without oil for a decade. The thermostat and water pump are fragile, but easily replaced. Short of that, these cars don’t really have any catastrophic issues lurking.

I owe the pinched nerve in my neck to 1000 miles of driving a 26' uhaul with trailer back in February.

When I first read somewhere that the Wrangler was like, the second best selling convertible in the US, I was really shook for a solid minute or two.
