Nobody had asked for the Baja and yet, it was a really good ute, actually the first one in years in North America. Then it was cut off because people didn't understand it. Now everyone wants a ute on our shores.
1st BMW M5. Take a nice mature 5 series and give it more power because BMW be like "IDGAF". Now we can't imagine a world without mad sedans, but thank you for starting this!
Renault Clio V6
Miata. I was but a wee lad in 1989 when they were released but I'm pretty sure nobody said "You know what we need? A tiny, nimble, 2-seat roadster, imitating the classic British sports car formula, made by a Japanese automaker." And thus a legend was born.
$30k (after IMS fix, taxes) for a clean, modern, reliable Porsche* that you could daily?
BMW should have stuck to making gas chambers.
They just aren't built to last. They're good mostly, through the warranty and certified pre-owned. Then at about 100K miles, they start to come apart. Need a new cooling system and a new suspension.
This stings because it's so familiar. Everything seems like an easy enough fix when picking up a cheap "premium" car, it's just death by a thousand cuts.
Has this been submerged for a while?
heheh - this is even funnier because at a point in the past on Jalopnik I made a pretty direct comment about a brown, 325xi, manual station wagon I had (I said it was a piece of crap) - and oh did the fanboys howl.
This picture just made me want a MX6.
I crashed a 2003 E55 AMG at triple digit speeds, was ejected from the vehicle and felt perfectly fine after minus a few cuts...a few hours later i had severe stomach pain and had to have some of my intestine removed though lol
wow bro, i am almost in tears. that is such a stand up thing to do. giving back something like that (something i probably will never get a change to do) to someone who did not ask for anything is why i read this website. its the human stories that i fall in love with here, and this is no different.
I took this picture of SFMikee, but now I have to go to work. perhaps someone else could work their google-foo to find out where I took this picture
This here, ladies and gentlemen, is why on occasion we can indeed have nice things - because people like Jake, SFMikee and Jason exist. Well done sirs, well done. It is moments like this when I think maybe, just maybe humanity isn't totally lost afterall.
SFMikee hasn't posted since December of last year.
I'm just trying to get out of the red on my karmic debt here
Yes, yes it is.
