I'm debating the merits vs consequences of making this my work desktop...
The 1M is rare. At over 20,000 produced, the E60 M5 is not rare. I would also consider 20,000 a "mass production".
I keep seeing 240sx posting with SR20 swaps, titled as "unfinished project $5500". Thanks, I don't want some backyard mechanics Frankenstein headache.
Actualloy, "mods" can add value. Take a $500 car, throw in $10k worth of roll cage, engine, drivetrain, suspension, wheels, and race tires and you've got a $5000 race car.
I was referring to the US for 2013:
How about just a Hell Kitten? Maybe a 300 hp turbo 4?
Lady was pissed because her tires were dirty. "I spent $80,000, my tires shouldn't get dirty so quickly"
Lotus Carlton, the Charger Hellcat of the early 90s. That's when 'fast' and 'sedan' are rarely mentioned in the same sentence.
A lot of people seem to think it's hideous, but I have a soft spot for the Porsche Panamera Turbo S
You're just laying a spiderweb for dumb shitheads who happen to live in a part of town where everybody has dark skin.
Stop looking at everything through a racial prism. There was no racism involved in my anecdote and there's no reason to believe that there would have been.
Could it be that the FR-S/BRZ feels like it can handle far more power than it has, while you probably wouldn't be happier in a Fiesta ST with any more power? That is, more power is usable in the FR-S/BRZ and wouldn't be in this car?
The biggest problem may be that manufacturers will stop making replacement parts, which will force shadetree mechanics to find another route. That will be damn hard - just think what you'd do if the magnetic ride goes out on your "forever" C7 and you can't get the dampers or control module to replace the one(s) you…
I have a few friends who own old Volvos. Of course, what I really mean by this is: I have a few friends who are…
The Blue Racer (F-Zero)
One day the genetic engineers will give us all Chocobos
I should clarify that when I say a salary of $100k, I mean a salary of $100k in California. That's like earning $40k elsewhere.
Oh California,
I've worked at a golf resort for over a decade. If I've learned anything here, it's that people don't get to be rich by being loose with their money. The richest ones are usually the most tight-fisted, and the most generous ones are usally working stiffs. (Contractors, mechanics, oil workers, etc)
