Another example. My first car was a cherry-red 2002 Mini Cooper S.

New cars may be more reliable, but old cars are longer-lasting. Difference.

I dunno. He’s gone on record saying he’s in love with the first-gen 7's. I’m just feeding the fire, as it were.

Selling projects is tough. But now you’ve got space on your driveway for a new car!

Which opposed piston engine is best opposed piston engine?

844 is such a gorgeous engine. I was lucky enough to see her in Sacramento a few years ago, but I didn’t get to see her at full steam like you did. Damn, that must have been amazing to see.

I’m so excited for 4014 to be running again. One of my coolest experiences ever was seeing 844 pass me at full steam.

Union Pacific’s Big Boy scoffs at your measly 1.9 miles worth of train.

Relevant:

I agree. I think part of it is the rarity of it and it’s still fresh because there are so few of them on the road. The interior is a little dated but Saab was never a big innovator in that area.

I feel this way about most saabs

I’m not comparing it against modern Lamborghinis. If we were comparing it against the Aventador and Hurican; I’d agree completely.

I may be biased, but I think the 05-09 Legacy holds up quite well

This needs more stars. This car looks like it literally rolled off the production line merely 5 minutes ago.
