What a great 3/4 shot. Classic lines, really; definitive almost.

People bag on the early 'Cuda design, and it has a few funky details. But it's just begging for someone to take a resto-mod Foose-style approach, and I think it would look great. It would just take an industrial quantity of window tint and the right two tone paint job, for starters.

As a wagon driver, I am sold. Instantly. Sign me up.

@beercheck: I had a Bavarian cream this morning, and you're right: I do feel bloated.

@graverobber- Two BEER minimum: beat me to it.

We already have this in Arizona on a section of highway near Scottsdale, and they're announcing plans to extend it to all highways.

@FЯeeMan: You may want your two hours back afterward, but at least you'll connect with all of the one-liners above.

@P161911: unpredictability is required in this case - it's Lucas electrics.

@wheels OF satan!: Thanks for the visual reminder of what we've lost - those are some beautiful cars. It's a rare design house that can go from those exotics to the Suzuki Forenza and still maintain a recognizable flow and imprint of design. I hope the company holds the line and continues to bring their unique accent…

Owned 3. The best one was the 1993 sedan — an incredibly well-built car, ridiculously fast top end, and with a very good interior. 2.2l with an auto, and it went to 235k getting passed around the family. It was then sold to a family friend.

@west-coaster:

This was filmed near were I did undergrad - I've eaten at the little drive-in. This is the van's second round on Ebay — it sounds like it went from glorious Preston, Idaho to Cali.

That oughta get the BMW purists at my door with pitchforks in 3...2...1...

Okay, my immediate thought was rat rod. Apparently I'm not the only one, so here you go: quick, dirty, crapteriffic 'shop:

@dry guy:

@bozoerrebbe: But you digress??

@dotorg greg: Odd camera angles to hide a fat ass?

That, kids, is a godly and beautiful thing. I was about to say it would take 10-lb cast-iron nuts to drive it to its limits, and 20-lb kryptonite huevos to ride shotgun.

@Van Sarockin: Yeah, the advertising partner is BMW Girl.
