Wait, I can measure in tenths? That’s a level of OCD I don’t need.

Incidentally, I also lost any shred of respect I had for Magnus after this. You literally spend your life around old 911’s, you know how they behave, and you’re driving one like that on an open public road with an innocent reporter in your passenger seat? Not to mention there’s tons of other people driving their…

Regardless of Bond, I think that exact model is still the finest looking BMW of all time. It literally gets every single conservative proportion just right.

Out of all those Id have the E38. The last great looking 7 series before Bangle messed them all up....

cars have inflated over time. older civics and corollas are the same.

It was mid-sized. Cars have really ballooned! That Altima is pretty big now, isn’t it?

I can’t get over how small your car looks compared to the newer models. I can’t decide if the skyline is small or mass market cars are just so much bigger than they used to be. Was the skyline considered small back in 1990?

Yeah. Shame, right?

I know an old (85+) orthopedic surgeon that tells a story about the first electric drill he used in surgery, it was a Craftsman. They used to buy them from the local Sears outlet, use them once and throw them away, since they couldn’t sterilize them.
