Yeah, I’m just going to use the “latest” link.  That’s actually a good tip - best thing about the site redesign news.

A single thin strip of wood at a character line down the side of the car would be a good way to have an homage to the older generations. Closer to the last ones you made, but even smaller.  However, the design is awful looking and that little detail wouldn’t help. Guess it couldn’t hurt?

Isn’t the only jalop approved car a diesel, rwd, manual wagon in brown or is that only for traditional auto journalists?

I can’t believe the talent pool of waiting drivers isn’t large enough that the teams can’t find someone else who hasn’t been recorded saying something terrible. I haven’t followed NASCAR closely since the mid-00's, but is he a Lewis Hamilton level talent? If not, he really must have some good sponsors or a well…

Which owner group with enthusiastic owners does not have a negative stigma?

It would still be functional with a normal sized kidney grill and a single opening in the bottom, like on the previous M cars. They could taper the middle bar just as well, pulling it forward a bit to bound the bottom of the kidney grills, and not look ridiculous.

My friend’s son (17) autocrosses one. He puts up some really solid times with it, think he won his class Sunday with it. 

Too much for an M52b28tu. If it was an M54B30 (01+), then I could see getting closer to 10k in mint condition. However, this car may have had the Style 42 wheels stock, and while I am a huge fan of M-parallels, the Style 42 wheels look better on it. I also want to see the trunk floor. They fail if driven hard with the…

Add to that when everything does line up except the manual isn’t available with the more powerful engine. I swear the only car that ever did it right was the RX-8 where the manual had the more powerful engine and the auto got the crappier one. Manuals are now for enthusiasts, not cheapskates, might as well just have…

It’s funnier if you read all of this thread thinking they are fighting Vanilla Ice for Allison Brie. 

As the owner of an RX-8, I am used to keeping a funnel w/ some premix oil in the trunk.  I just keep it in a small tool box and a ziplock bag and throw it in the trunk. The things we do for abnormal cars...

The initial marketing campaign was hilarious for the Blazer. The real people saying that this is the cool mom/dad car. It was such a disappointment.

I had the exact same experience with a 130k M5 at the same time as you.  I put some more in because I modded it some, but the maintenance/repairs were pretty close (actually a little less for me).  

I kept reading it looking for it to be a rebuilt title or a flood car or something awful, but it wasn’t there.  I voted NP, but I almost think I need to vote CP since something has to be off.

Damn, I would buy this in a heartbeat. Clean title, nice color, N52 manual for 4k is a good price.  

I have been very happy with my epoxy coated floor. I just used some stuff from Lowe’s and it has held up pretty well. However, I did what you did and rented a cutting machine and cleaned it very well.  Was very careful about that and took my time.  It has only come up in a few areas where I had been cleaning some…

He could pick up a 2014 Durango R/T for around 20k. Tows like 8000 lbs, modern, plenty of room for activities, and pretty comfortable. Makes a good daily. My wife loves hers.

Permits for driveways can be denied if they will cause a drainage issue.  The ones that are in place were approved for installation because they slope properly (or should) and drain correctly.

Nicely done. 

I have wanted to watch Mask of the Phantasm for more than 25 years - it’s always been something I have wanted to see, but never got around to it. I was very mad that DC Universe doesn’t have the full Batman Animated Series and did not have Mask of the Phantasm either. At least I’ll be able to see it soon.
