re: millenials. 1982-1984 is one range I’ve read multiple times as the cutoff, but really it comes down to your state of mind.

Wonder if altitude is a factor. Palm Springs is 450ft above MSL, Phoenix is 1,124ft. 600ft, couple of degrees of OAT...may make a difference on max takeoff weight.

I really need to know the answer to this. I always thought it was fine, but maybe not? I wear an ‘M Power’ t-shirt when I’m rolling in my (non M) E90...does that make me a douche? FWIW, it has the M-Sport package (but no M badges), does that count? Ugh. I’m so conflicted right now.

And what do you recommend if the manufacturer (BMW) of my vehicle (E90) isn’t letting me make an appointment for repair? I call about once a quarter for the last *six* or so, and they still tell me to wait.

Still dunno. How about this. DOT tires, street pads and fluid indicate that the vehicle probably isn’t ready for *competition* but those don’t preclude fun HPDEs that are *not* wheel to wheel.

I dunno. I’ve known much more mundane cars do just fine at track days. Yeah, tires and pads wear pretty fast, and maybe some brake fade after an aggressive run, but not this. :shrug:

I know of a time where a woman stoned out of her mind bit another passenger. Caused the aircraft to have to return to Orlando International.

I would seriously shell out $15k for this car. For all the nostalgias.

Ok, now Elon is just trolling us all.

sigh. story of my life.

Were they ever offered with 3 pedals?

I had a Rebel 450 for years, and I really enjoyed it around town. Enough power to get out of it’s own way, and nimble enough in traffic.

It’s 75 degrees and sunny outside this morning, but I’m definitely feeling Minnesota right now. 

Oh, Toyota, you don’t want to be boring? Make the Camry RWD and give it a 3 pedal option. Sold.

Jason, I have to be honest - I’m usually a little leery when I see your name on the byline, especially if the article is posted after 6pm on a weekend, but this article was great. Glad I took the chance.

Looks like an Infiniti Q50 from the side profile.

Great car. Absolutely. Makes me regret selling my ‘90 GSX. However, while mine was in rougher shape mechanically, it was rust free and I sold it for $1800. I’d buy this one for, maybe $4k. Anything over $5k is CP all day. You can buy a lot of car for $11.5k, and this isn’t it.
