There is no way it’s the Cal Ace. They look nothing alike. The yellow one actually looks like a Cobra. Notably, the seller was asking about $14k for it just a few months ago.

Very. It was very comfortable on the way back from WA (nearly 1000 miles), drove incredibly well and hasn’t given us any issues since, except for a reverse sensor fault that went away when we unloaded the stuff in the trunk. *knock on wood*

Thanks for the suggestions! Will try to check the meet out.

Great link! May prove useful for the one-owner ‘06 9-5 Aero Kombi we just picked up a few months ago for peanuts to replace our V70. Had to drive from SoCal to WA for it, but well worth it.

Eh, I’ll believe it when I see it. They did this to us once before. Does no one remember the spy shots that made it around the forums three years ago? And still no Regal Turbo Wagon.

Interestingly enough, about a decade ago, Beverly Hills Mercedes had a bunch of old historic Mercedes in its showroom for the AMG 40th Anniversary event, including the C-class DTM car, SLC rally car, an SL73 AMG, and the Waxenberger 6.3. Among these was an early (possibly prototype) C36 in purple with cloth interior…

What notes, exactly?

I’m not quite sure there is any other way.

An accident captured by two dashcams. What is this, Russia?

Just bought the book on Amazon.

Not true. 2016 2-doors are order-only, but available.

All in, we’d be spending $31,740 for our plaid-seated hot hatch.

When? Back in the 70s?

Oh, Jalopnik, you make me sad. You pick that video instead of the raw footage on the same website where the girl references her lost Range Rover as a “P38A,” which is infinitely cooler than anything you wrote about above.

Oh and my E36 M3 was an M3/4/5 :P.

As the former owner of an E36 M3, the 2x parts cost claim is without basis. Simply not true. Parts all cost the same for these things. Now, as for my E30 M3, that’s a different story :).

The English translation is clearly done via Google Translate, so it sucks. Here’s what it actually says (I’m omitting the stupid hashtags):

Happened to me many years ago at LAX. Parked at the top level of the structure, dropped someone off and came back. Left the ticket on the dash. It was a hot day and I was driving a black car, so I decided to roll down the windows and let the Golf cool down while I smoked a cigarette outside. Oh, did I mention the…

It absolutely doesn’t. I read “If you don’t register it as non-operational” as “If you register it as non-operational.” That’s what I get for triple-tasking while browsing Jalopnik. Apologies.

They’re working just fine. Most of the pics you find online of “smog” are actually pics of the June Gloom/May Gray marine layer.
