Yes, it doesn’t have the badge but I’m guessing that it handles just as well as the big-boat S6 too. ;)

Great idea. This is hard.

This whole car... “Why, what’s the point?”

1.3 litre Suzuki Samurai engine:

Easy. It broke all the time, never fit the lines of the car (the NA models looks better) and was replaced by the lovely hoop spoiler of 97 or the 99 combat wing.

By far, the BMW GT-wagon-thing’s ridiculous pop-up spoiler. Pointless.

BMW 3-series GT. Look at this useless piece of crap:

I agree. Closer to 95% is more accurate... I've driven both and bought the Goat. After the Pedder's suspension upgrade and small mods (intake, exhaust, fuel rails, tune, tow hitch removal and aluminum skid plate), the M6 couldn't keep up. Better interior than the BMW as well. Not as many toys, but at least the seats…

Anyone who thinks this is a retcon has poor reading comprehension.

Stop by my house on a Saturday sometime. I do it all the time. I drag my laptop out to scan my OBD II port as well. I LIKE that my car TELLS me what it thinks is wrong with it. And I can set breaker points (I own a dwell tach - Google that if you don’t recognize it) and tune a carb, too. Any you young whippersnappers…

The batteries will cost more than the car.

That’s a pretty nice car for what it is.

Tesla Model S

Mercedes GL 63 AMG. The ugliest, thirstiest of all the AMG school busses. Launched a couple of years ago for about 135k € and you can find second hand ones for about 90k € right now. Imagine how much will it be worth in 20 years...

Plus the polishing cloth will be smelly.

I see you've been to Orange County.

When I was an insurance adjuster I had a customer who bought all the visual M5 goodies and put them on his 540. Maybe he bought the car that way and got duped, but the VIN was a 540, the engine was a 540.... he could not be convinced this was anything other than a roaring snorting M-car. He was missing 100 horsepower…

You can polish a turd, but it’s still a turd.
