No, it was special order paint. This dealership creates fully optioned-out wagons to put on the lot. Seems like they have some success with them. They did this one too.

I’ve seen that green before. This was sitting on the lot at Seattle BMW a few months ago.

My dad had a VR-4. Honestly, I thought it was fabulous. Ample power, performance oriented AWD, and the four wheel steering made it feel much more nimble than its weight would suggest. It was a fun car to drive and in the couple of years he owned it (purchased new) it actually was entirely reliable. My most notable…

Stuff like this used to happen all the time in the 80s if you had a satellite dish (the big 10’ ones, not DirectTV). Before they started scrambling everything, you used to be able to pick up the live feeds, and even though the networks would go to a commercial, the live feed was continuous. When the announcers were…

Just bought my 9-year-old the first two seasons of Ren & Stimpy and I was all nervous it was going to be too much to show a little kid based on my memory of how crazy it was back in the day. Turns out it’s really tame compared to what’s out there these days. It really did pioneer some new trends in television.

As a former GTV-6 owner, I think your assessment is optimistic.

Many, many years ago I was driving home from college in Boston to southeastern Connecticut. It was pouring rain and my wipers had been shot for a while. I recalled a Sears Auto Parts right off of my route in Hartford and so I decided to stop and finally do something about them.

I’m assuming the reference is intentional. I’m surprised it wasn’t picked up in the article.

Yeah, but only on a 10-mike stretch in Rhode Island.

Bad pic, but I drove an ‘82 Alfa GTV-6 through several New England winters. Thanks to the old school rain gutters, I was even able to mount a Barrecrafters ski rack over the rear hatch (thus making it useless) and took it skiing many times.

A few years ago the latch clasp on the center armrest of my wife’s A4 broke and I needed a replacement. The only option at the online parts stores was an entire lid/cushion replacement which was $250 for OEM or about half for a questionable knock off. I stumbled onto a website for 3D printing vendors and one of them…

That’s Countach and BB 512, youngster!

This, this, this. Taped Cannonball Run off of cable, watched the intro a thousand times.

Excellent branding opportunity for Amazon Now if Lockheed wants to offset some development costs. Bezos does love aerospace.

It’s weird, but I was just wondering this morning why you don’t see more Neons still around. They were everywhere for a while.

I think it’s simply a matter of the other chairs being in the wind shadow of the building where the person filming is standing, or it’s deflecting/amplifying the wind.

No shit. I think they just finished paying off the ‘76 Olympics like a week ago.

BMW requires 89 for the 2.0 turbo in the X3, but 91 when that engine is used in some other models.
