I’d have to go back and look at the question, but the past few of these have had a certain “everybody gets a cookie” feel to them.

These are some bad takes. And I predict the new M4 will age well.

YES! And this might be the one time that BAT totally makes sense. Those cars get bought and resold on that website all the time, and I think you have as good a chance at recouping the majority of the investment as any of the other suggestions so far.

Here’s what I found just on ebay. Any of these would be a head-turner; fun to drive; and mostly immune to depreciation:

WTF?!? Did y’all miss the “fun to drive” part? How could anyone recommend anything other than a classic car? Something REALLY unique?

Highly underrated response.

Fuck it.

Eh, they put it in the header. It was the non-spoken recommendation. 

That’s a shitty situation, but it’s cool that you can do something enjoyable for her in the time she has left. There will probably be a lot of sensible suggestions, but how about this:

The best option, if it’s financially feasible, is to get a two year lease on a brand new Mustang Convertible. I can guarantee that the payments will be about the same as buying a car for $25K plus (not to sound insensitive), when she’s gone, Ford can just take the car back. No hassle in trying to sell and you can do…

Yes. Here’s a 2008 Boxster S tiptronic in Guards Red over tan.72K miles and heated seats. Asking 22995.

Uh, Mercedes Streeter? Time is of the essence with this one, don’t you think? “...if you can wait about two months...” isn’t really an option.

Man, these are some boring convertibles. She should get a Boxster or a 996 Cabriolet.  

No.no.no. let me try again.

I think the spec battery was only for the first few years to ensure everyone was competitive. I thought this was opening up soon (next year?)

Having a spec battery in Formula E seems counterintuitive if the goal is to develop and promote EVs.

More like, Formula E-rror. Am I right? Spft

The energy density of liquid fuels is amazing. An efficient car gets 5L/100km (don’t ask me what that is in cubits per bucket), which means each liter gets you 20km, each 100ml gets 2km, 10ml gets you 200m, and a single *milliliter* gets you 20 meters. That’s 34.6 MJ/liter, which compares to 1MJ/liter for high-quality…

If Formula E wants to be taken seriously, they need to ease up on the gimmicks. The fan boost thing is silly. Diminishing power because of a safety car is even sillier and I’ve hated it for awhile. Safety cars/cautions are part of racing and always throw an interesting wrench into strategies, it’s fun to watch teams…

Do you know of a weird or unique but must-have tool that every wrencher should have?
