I have had bad experiences on scary roads and out in the boonies, but the only time I truly felt in danger was on a highway. I grew up in the mountains and learned to drive fairly young. We learned quickly to always be aware 360 degrees around the car due to various wild life, rock slides, trees falling etc. I am very…

I love our Nissan Leaf. Now this is because I grew up around 2 car shops, one focusing on classic Chevrolets 40-70s and the other was a DeTomaso Pantera shop. So I grew up with and helping work on American muscle. Shoot, I have had my fair share of classics, including a Mustang and a Cougar. I currently have a 52…

Living in California where no one apparently respects the “Left lane is for passing” and “Slow Traffic Keep Right” signs, the autobahn was a blessing for me to drive on. Yes, the trucks and the construction zones suck. That being said though, still far better than our Cali roads. When a truck passes in Germany they…

Factory Five GTM is what my neighbor is working on... While I work on my lowly ‘52 Dodge B3D.

Still for sale too! Maybe they would throw in the replica porsche at this point

I feel like my new life goal is getting this truck to run on the dunes

Great job and care into saving the car. But c’mon man, get appropriate insurance. Not to mention those BMWs are crap cars to begin with, I know I’ll piss a lot of people off, but no. I have full coverage on anything that is on my property in a flood zone and earthquake area, it doesn’t cost much to cover your own ass.

One of the first times I brought my now wife to visit my parents house we were using the GPS because I was too tired to drive and wanted to make it easier for her. Well, we live on a windy mountain road, much of which has large drop offs on one side or another. So as we come to what us locals call “the bridge” (a…

I think he should keep the leaf... As a gearhead who also uses a Leaf on a daily basis for commuting I get the struggle. I think the answer is certainly not a terrible BMW diesel, but something inexpensive and classic. For me I bought a 68 Cougar with a 302 and C4 for dirt cheap and also a 52 Dodge B3 truck for $4k.…

You New Yorkers need to stop whining! At least you have a good public transit system that can move 100s of thousands of people per day. BART has just as many or more problems and maybe moves 1/10th the people. Come to California and visit the crowded land with crap for public transit. The NY subway is one of the…

Quite frankly, if you don’t have it in cash, don’t buy it(other than a house). That was the lesson I learned after going madly in debt in my early 20s. I’ve stuck to that ever since and no issues. $4k could have bought a perfectly good and reliable Honda, Toyota or Focus.

While I’m all for getting rid of this scum.of the earth... Can we please stop praising BMWs?

San Luis Obispo County... not South County. We call the 5 cities area “south county” but that is just for us locals. Technically I believe this chase extended into Santa Maria county judging from where he finally stopped.

We went solar and are on a battery backup waitlist (Tesla)... No coal or petroleum... Though we do us natural gas for several appliances. Haven’t paid a dime for petroleum in a long time!

Is it just me or does the side profile look just like a Mazda3 Hatch?

I had bought one of the rare Tangerine Orange 1996 Mustang GT’s many years ago and applied for the custom plate TNG STNG for what I believed to be obvious reasons. I figured the CA DMV would assume either tangerine or Tang the beverage, both of which work for the color. Nope, they sent me letter saying my requested…

Pontiac G8 GXP, a future classic potentially. Low mileage, manual, and bright red to boot! $30k.

I would get two classic Ford Taurus SHO motors and mate them together to make the best sounding and best looking V12 I can imagine. Then I’d probably try to figure our what 60's to 70's era beautiful body style I could cram it into. I’d probably go with the Gen3 Factory Five Type 65 Daytona coupe and suffer the…

Supposedly a numbers matching Porsche 356 restored
