I will say this much—I am annoyed at whoever smoked in it.

Please get the insurance, or check that the credit card you used to rent the thing has insurance.

The one time I tried to treat a rental car nicely, it betrayed me. I had a 2004 Nissan Xterra as a rental for a month. It was a bad vehicle in most metrics (13mpg in real life, uncomfortable, handled like garbage, and despite being large, had a surprisingly small interior) but I lived with it because hey, free car…

All rental cars are purpose built rally cars. The electronic parking brake is the worst thing to happen to the rental car market.

rental cars are always the fastest cars in the world

Now here’s a twist. I was the seller in this sketchy car transaction.

Please let this have a turbo. And it’s not because I’m really interested in buying one, it’s just that I really don’t want to hear “if it only had a turbo, I would totally buy one” time and time again.

It’s probably worth knowing more about the ergonomics situation before having many feelings about it one way or the other. Some level of physical stress is acceptable with physical labor, absolutely, but some machines require movements that are inordinately physically damaging, and for which minor changes could make…

That’s the reason we have a dwindling middle class, people say tough get another job or deal with it. What’s wrong with standing up as a group with the good of everyone involved, employees and employers. A happy employee is a productive employee and turn over costs a killer. Obviously I’m biased but I like health…

You’re cruisin’ for a bruisin’ in these here parts with that language, sir.

That is Jalop as fuck, man. Thanks for sharing.

It was Black Friday of 2013. The car was a 2003 BMW 540i M-Sport. I had found it online a couple of weeks before. I had been looking for a car to replace my dying Accord and had wanted an E39 since around 2000.

This is me and her. Before you all laugh and laugh at the idea that a 300C can be a dream car, let me give background.

When I was younger my moms boss had a Bentley Arnage T, at that time I was absolutely in love with that car. I would bug him to let me sit in it and pop the hood. During summer break, I went to visit my mom at work for lunch, the boss was there just hanging around and as I parked my little Civic EG next to the mighty…

I fell in love with them, quit college, moved to the United States and opened up a shop to build and service only them and now have two to choose between in the morning.

This strikes me as an excuse to drive the absolute hell out of this car for the next six months, then put it up for sale on May 1 so you can put “STILL UNDER OEM WARRANTY!!!!111!!!ONE!!” in the Craigslist ad.

Perhaps consider the E60 M5's younger, more nimble little brother, the E90 M3. I’ve had mine for 6 years without issue. The past 2 without warrenty.

No, it's not okay. I messed up. I made a mistake. I did break the law and owned up to it. Was that not apparent in the story?
