Finally dragged this old lady out of storage
Feels good to be driving her again
It blows my mind...
How many people at the self service wash will take the tire brush, turn on the foam and drag it along their expensive cars like they’re scrubbing off an elephant or something. Makes me cringe inside every time. That’s what the spray gun is for!! Why don’t you care about your paint?
Why hasn't the E24 M6 exploded in value?
The E30 M3 and E28 M5 have gone up in value like crazy the last few years. Why not the E24? M6?
Yay! New Car-themed tshirts!
Just got my new shirts in the mail yesterday. Found this cool website, Bavaria Classics. They sell a huge variety of German car parts but they also sell tshirts as well. Being the BMW enthusiast that I am, they had a couple designs that I just had to buy.
Goodbye, summer wheels.
Hello winter wheels and tires.
My buddy's S4 for sale. Every car ad should be this detailed.
This is the guy who I bought my M5 from. That experience is actually linked to in the kijiji ad. So if you open it and click on the link, it’ll bring you back to Oppo. It’s like an infinite loop.

Jalopinions on future values of the BMW E34 M5?
All this Ronin talk has gotten me thinking about the values of the E34 M5 relative to other German classics these days. Full disclosure: I own a 1990 Euro Spec E34 M5 which has been documented in Oppoland previously.
So I just saw an F40, Miura, Shelby Cobra and many more.
So i just finished a private tour of a local collector’s car collection. Its housed in four separate airplane hangers. Some of the cars that i saw include the following:
Wow. The Jaguar F-Type R is insanely loud.
I was cruising with a couple of my groomsmen the other day to go check out suits in my E34 M5 when this dude in a Jaguar F Type R screamed by me and passed me on the left like I was standing still. The noise sounded like a cross between a sport bike and a muscle car. This thing was easily louder than my M5 with a…
I just got notice that my contract is done in 30 days. Been here 2 years, 3 months. Cutbacks all over Alberta right now: the falling price of oil is screwing us all over. My oilfield services company just announced that they're cutting flex days and instituting a 10% pay cut across the board. Glad I'm getting out now…
Sigh...I wish it was spring...
Only driven her once in the last two months. :(
Saw the weirdest thing yesterday morning
So I'm trundling along to the train station in my car yesterday morning when a Toyota Prius comes tearing up beside me and proceeds to just blow by me at probably 130 km/h. The weirdest part was that it was jacked up (lifted), had a huge decal on the back that said "TRD Offroad" and was fucking filthy - just covered…
Added some ///M stripes to my interior yesterday
Still debating whether I like the way it looks or not. Originally did the steering wheel too but didn't like the look of it so I took it off. Did the center of the ashtray because the leather is all scuffed there anyway and it looks pretty dcent. Added a small set of stripes to the handbrake as well, although now I'm…
Car magazines that I miss
As with most of us I imagine, websites like Jalopnik have replaced the plethora of car magazines that I used to read back in the day. Every time I pick up an issue of Car & Driver now I notice that it seems to be short on content and long on advertisements.
First DIY on the M5
New hood struts! Now I don't have to worry about my hood trying to decapitate me anymore!
Yay! New car stuff and new center caps for my winter wheels
HAd a bunch of stuff for the M5 show up yesterday. New BBS hex wrench for my center caps, BMW battery charger (since I'm not driving it very much now that winter/snow are officially here), new coolant level sensor and new BMW center cap stickers to replace the trashed ones that were on my BBS Style 5 winter wheels. I…
Finally got the winter wheels on
Throwing stars and summer tires off, BBS Style 5s and winter tires on. Just waiting for new roundel stickers before I throw the center caps back on as the current ones are in rough shape.
My new internet obsession
Is this site right here: http://germancarsforsaleblog.com/
Always blows my mind
when I see people at the self serve car wash scrubbing their cars all over with the foaming wheel/tire brush. Do they not know what the high pressure spray gun is for? Or maybe they just love swirl marks. Especially weird when it's a newer or nicer car. I only ever use touchless automatic washes to avoid that very…
