$103K brown wagon

"because this is Russia."

You can find E34 and E39 540i's sedans and wagons all day long for 4-6 grand. For close to 10K with a manual. Not BMW's most reliable engine but... fast as hell.

At 17 my dad bought me a new 1993 SE-R for $12,800 out the door. That car lasted me 7 years with minimal maintenance. Those were the days.

My son will be inheriting the family car I just bought: 2014 Outback 2.5i with manual transmission. Slow, stick shift (pretty sure he'll be the only kid in school with one), AWD, traction control, 5-star safety rating. My son is 1.

My sister once had an autotragic 4-cylinder Z3. That thing was a 1000X less manly to drive than my 1990 5-speed Miata.

Great band. All their albums are great. They are also great live. This is probably their greatest song

Mildly annoyed it's less likely to be called a gay/girl car now. That's half of what Miata ownership is all about.

I disagree that it will baby. I have a 528iT E39 and am selling it with kid #2 on the way. Only one rear facing car seat works - in middle seat - if you're of any height. Anything else moves the seat forward too much. Maybe if my wife was 5'4" or shorter we could stuff the other baby seat behind her but...

As much practical cargo space as a 3-series sedan. Wicked awesome. {jerk-off hand motion}

Roadmaster Wagon

I drive a 5-series Touring now and the 3-series Touring looks like dog squeeze relative to this baby. (Granted, the 3-series Touring looks OK on its own, but I'm done with modern BMWs.)

A most excellent song.

Sure it did

Put me down for not wanting a stupid TV screen in my car AT ALL, EVER.

The donut maker of my youth... mom's wagon with the 5.7

Glad I've never lived in a climate that requires the expensive, complexity and porky fat of AWD. But I'll take my FWD 1.8T wagon in brown, sure. And reflashed to 240ish horspepower. Slap a bigger anti-roll bar on the back like I did my Protegé and sweet oversteer is mine.

Like that you're listening to Stephen Malkmus who penned these lyrics
