Yout missed Bad Obsession Motorsports with Project Binky and their side project Escargo!  Easily the very best build channel on YouTube, they might even finish the project this decade.

Admittedly, the two Nissan I am most interested in are the old Frontier and the 370z.  I like the basicness of the Frontier, probably my favorite rental car I've managed to get in the US.  It had very comfortable old school cloth seats, good visibility and an excellent naturally aspirated V6 attached to a predictable

It is very car dependent. I’ve found it much easier to teach people with my light weight Austin Healey Sprite than the BMW e36 M3. The Sprite idles a lot faster and just doesn’t take much to get it off the line, we’re as the M3 idles down under 700 rpm and has no power there.

These are the questions I’d like to hear the answers to.

Completely agree.  I am very disappointed that EVs have been so aggressively coupled with self driving.  I want simplicity in my automobile, particularly when it comes to the control algorithm.   Luckily some company will pull this off, someone like Mazda or Toyota, a sensible auto maker that makes sensible vehicles.

The price of these has been going up fast as it is getting harder to find clean examples. If you want a dirty one (rust, mods, filth, convertible, pick your poison) then they can be had for under $10k. But else, most decent e36 M3s over 100k miles are between $12 and $20k cars. This one feels a bit steep to me being

This one is about $4-5k too high in my opinion. However clean ones are appreciating fast so it is hard to tell.

I always wonder if the folks that talk about the under rated US engine in the e36 M3 have ever actually drive one. I own a 99 M3 coupe and a 99 328is coupe. Let me say, there is a huge difference in the performance of the two cars. 50 hp is massive when you are talking 191hp vs 240 hp.

I could only disagree more if silver didn’t exist as a color. I am a huge e36 fan, own two of them. Boston green is the one color that reguardless of the car, I pass over.

My friend just resurrected a 4020.  It was parked 15 years ago where it stopped running due to completely carboned up exhaust to the point of no flow.  He basically rebuilt the full engine. 

Now playing

1980 Gruman full sized Curbmaster van with a big block 454 and a 4 speed on the floor. It was a vehicle that my friends and I got running after sitting in a field for 10 years. It had some issues, the lower bearing on the steering column had rusted off so steering was sporadic. The one front brake liked to stick. We we

Considering where I live, Pennsylvania, I’ve not hit a deer. Came close to running one down in my Oldsmoblie, it tried it’s best to out run me while I was chasing it down with the brakes planted to the floor. I think I was within about two feet of its rear before the Oldsmoblie was traveling slower than the deer was

So this!  The e60 headlights make me physically aggravated inside when I see them, no other design feature on any other car causes me distress like those lights.  They look cheap and like something a Chinese knock off would have to differentiate it from the original. 

I still very much think that think that this generation of BMW is the ugliest with the e60 5 series being the worst, particularly those swoopy headlights that make it look very fake and cheap.

This is exciting, I've wanted Jeep to bring out something smaller, more Jimny sized.  A little stick shift SUV is high on my list of desired vehicles. 

I have deliberately chosen to keep cars with good visibility.  My Oldsmoblie Eighty Eight has a phenomenal greenhouse, though it could use so slightly taller headrests.  My BMW e36 M3 coupe has rather good visibility and I'm always comfortable seeing out of it.  However if we throw all safety out of the window, by far

I agree, I’ve always thought the e46 looked like a bar of soap, though the M bumpers help relieve that look a bit. I am a big fan of the style of the e36 M3, and the style is the main reason I chose one over the e46 M3. I also quite prefer the way the e36 feels when driven, it’s a bit more raw, and feels like a narrow

I do not mind it so much on manual vehicles.   I drove a car that had it in France, the Opel diesel version of a Chevy Trax.  It worked wonderfully and everyone else's car had it to.  It was funny that when the lights turned green it sounded like a fleet of compact diesel tractors starting simultaneously. 

I had a Mini with a fob and a starter button.   The fob was annoyingly large and the button was an extra step after inserting the key into the dash.  

I really like the one simple key in my pocket or a key with a separate remote key fob. It works perfectly and is reliable. I never forget it in the car as I’m required to touch the keys to turn off the car. Also I absolutely dispise giant new key fobs.
