An unmolested first-gen CRX? I don’t care if it’s on fire, $2550 is a NP. Somebody buy it before it gets stanced, yo.

That’s been my “beef” with current EVs, which is really a symptom of an immature, early-adopter technology stage. EVs are either crappy econo boxes with barely enough range to get to work, or 6 figure super cars that regular people cannot afford. EVs are inevitable, and eventually everything will get sorted out, but…

CP. It probably is overdue for some major service. Everything was replaced.....10-15 years ago. Although the suspension was gone over again about 6 years ago. Makes sense, you figure about 50k miles or so things need to be replaced. Suspension bushings and mounts are probably on their way out. Oh and unless there’s…

Oh, it's going to break.

Back when the DB9 came out Aston decided to skip DB8 so that customers wouldn’t be confused as to whether it had an 8-cylinder or 12-cylinder engine, especially with the V8 Vantage on the way. Perhaps the same reasoning came back with the DB10 so they decided to use the name for the one-off/movie car rather than a…

Actually, fuel burning AC’s do exist and do work. We had a propane powered AC on a motorhome once.

As the owner of one of these, between the time I purchased it in 2009 with 60k miles, and today, with 130k, I’ve spent ~$14k in maintenance and service... so yes. At least once or twice a year, it will be in the shop for something. Right now I’m hemorrhaging coolant, a known problem with all BMWs of this age, tranny…

I bough one of these last year for this reason. Ive been a BMW master technician (Since moved on), but I can tell you that this is one of the best cars ever built. Electronically, yes...any control unit is super expensive, but they dont fail any more often than any other car. (except for the telephone CU...that on has…

And cue the jokes about British electrics. I’ll start.

the Bavarian Itch sounds like a WWI STD.

Self: “Gah. Another anonymous potato-shaped SUV that’s just gonna spend most of its time in the drive-thru at Starbucks. Plus this one’s a BMW which means when it breaks, it will be a bitch to fix as well as prohibitively expensive. It would be rational to walk away.”

She probably will never take delivery. I had a teacher who won a Corvette on Wheel of Fortune and what they actually got was basically a gift certificate which they sold back to the dealer.

Infiniti drivers are the worst. I always wondered why they chose such an anonymous and non-incredible marque, too. The G-coups are the worst; it’s like they were too dignified to find a Civic Si to ruin, but too well-informed to find a fifth-owner 3 series.

“You see what happens Larry? You see what happens when you find a stranger in the Armenian Alps?!”

That is a very valid point. However, having had an XJ-40 bust my balls once already like some sort of mystic shaolin master preparing me for an epic fight, I feel pretty confident in my skills and know what to expect.

Glendale, CA - Dikran Gligoriu

All of these things threw up red flags for me too, but in the end it’s a $2000 car that someone will use as a daily driver til the tranny blows up. Then it’s on to the crusher.

Everyone’s entitle to want whatever picture of a car they want.

this weeping willow pussy billow

Not my kind of thing, but no harm done. All but the best cars or GTS aren’t terribly valuable or rare, and plenty have been off the road for a long time, sitting in barns and backyards with no real chance of coming back. It’s out being seen again, and that’s part of the point of these.
