That big ol’ Town Car would be magic in an empty church parking lot after a fresh rain. Just like mom’s old Olds Custom Cruiser with the 5.7.

My $4200 E39 wagon goes 0-60 in 7 secs, real rack and pinion hydraulic steering feel, and I three-pedal dance my commute. Sucks to be electric.

I’m sure it doesn’t suck but I could only get excited about a V6 Ford if it were mid-engine and brown.

Single centralized tailpipe always makes me think “b-hole”.

I used to drive my E46 sport package with similar ground clearance on BLM dirt roads like that in the Mojave desert (on the way to shoot guns). No problem if you read the road and do a lot of sawing at the wheel.

“Also, notice the two jumper seats attached to my central throne. Those are for my guests.”

I’d get a 128i and source a 3-stage intake manifold to create a lighter more perfectly balanced 255 hp 130i.

Came here wishing hoping a rich person like Queen Latifah bought the unmodified Japanese market W126 I wrote up on Bring A Trailer. And find myself walking away incredibly butthurt. My heart will go on. I just don’t get non-car-people culture....sigh. http://bringatrailer.com/2015/10/08/11k-miles-euro-spec-1989-mercede…

Manual E39 wagon. You can have mine for 20k.

It’s not pretty, but if I could get a manual 140i hatch in the States, I might actually give a crap about BMW anymore.

Bought the base manual Outback because $6000 savings. And you can upgrade to higher trims in your own garage for dimes on the dollar if you can turn a wrench. Alloy wheels, leather wheel, fog lights, tweeters take just a few hours to install.

I knew there was a reason I drank when wrenching on my cars

I’d love this idea. If it were a wagon.

Dodge Diplomat squad car. Ready to be Commander-in-Chief but also diplomatic.

Nuclear or GTFO.

At least it doesn’t want to beak my face.

Great news for me, since I think the 996 looks a lot better than everyone says, especially the earliest models. (Don’t mind the Boxster headlights, in fact I prefer the looks of the 1st gen Boxster to the 2nd.) If anything it has more personality than the 997 which is beautiful but perhaps overly conservative. I even…
