My brother’s had a rental Toyota Corolla for the last 7 months while he waits for a replacement airbag for his xB. They expect him to have it at least 3 more months. Totally free, he treats it exactly like you would expect. You don’t want that car when he’s done with it.

...or for less money you can get a better looking 4-door M6 with more space and basically the same HP and top speed (ok, 10 MPH less - but you’re never going to see the difference), *and* a better-looking M3 to satisfy your compact sedan urges.

I paid monthly (probably by check back then) which the guys working in the garage didn’t see. Then I would give them $10 or so for doughnuts (or whatever) each month.

Did you park it there around 2002-2006? If so we were probably parking neighbors at least (I also lived on Houston and Norfolk).

Hey! Delancy St. Municipal is where I used to park my motorcycles in NYC. Shockingly nice guys for a NYC garage (assuming you know to tip them appropriately, which I did).

Ah, the Renault Appliance. My German professor in college had one back in 1991/2. I remember asking her why, with all the good German options, she picked a terrible French car. Don’t remember the answer. Do also remember that she was the best looking professor I ever had in college (although I did go to an…

I’m a huge BMW fan. I’ve owned probably 15 of them now (jesus, really? - yup guess so). I find them to be really good workmanlike cars, and the people I know who have X1s and X3s really like them. Don’t know anyone with an X4s, X5s or X6s right now, and that’s probably part of the problem. If you want an expensive…

Wow - they only sold 18 i8s in May? That’s super low.

Look up the anti-commandeering doctrine. It’s a *part* of law enforcement and it says (generally) that the federal government can not force states or other localities to enforce federal laws. Here’s a good start:

Two or three weeks ago I went to the dealer to drive an Alfa Giulia QF to see if I could deal with the tragic transmission choice Alfa decided to offer in the US.

If it’s super needy that just makes it stupider right? ;p

In general an E28 M5 may not be needy, but did you see the rust on the linked one?

UniMog backloader hoe military truck. Only $9.5k and way stupider that anything expect maybe that extremely needy M5.

I doubt it will sell for $15 but if it stays reasonable it might be mine.

How about this one?

Well I’ve had relatively new expensive BMWs for many years. But unless the M8 is amazing my next BMWs will probably go back in time to a really cherry E34 M5 or E39 M5 for the analog feel.

This may be the highest quality post I’ve ever read in the comments here. Bravo.

How’d you get this picture of me?

Well time tends to blend together for me but I think I’d remember if it was this weekend. So probably another one.

I’m 45. How much older do I need to be before I start appreciating this?
