I still think it was a missed opportunity to do a Talladega Nights 2 leading up to Le Mans with the Garage 56 Nascar.

Ricky Bobby gets recruited to race his car in the 24H of Le Mans, and faces off once again against Jean Girard and Girard’s father who faced off against Reese at Le Mans in 1976. *Cue flashbacks of…

1983 BMW 533i, I drove the tar out of that thing and drove waaay too fast on back-country 2-lane blacktop in the Texas panhandle where the little inline six just screamed for more speed. I remember bouncing from 100 to 120mph after cresting the hill leaving Dickens and then experiencing the weird sensation of feeling…

There’s shoes peeking around the grey box, so the car wash attendant was probably there, and they usually pantomime something so you know to put it in neutral plus the big flashy sign next to them shows the instructions as well.

It’s been a rumor for quite some time, I guess that’s some closure.

I was about to cancel my Jalopnik Gold subscription if the E39 didn’t appear in this.

Lol their own little cadre of “Gadianton Robbers,” eh?

The fix?

Y’all stop moving to Texas, GTHO.

Oh come one, is anybody going to do the legwork to find out who owns it instead of just naming the boat?

Current name CC-Summer

And then IN the Pacific lol

“You paid for those tanks and the fuel, but it’s no big deal”

I mean, if you’re gonna be mad at somebody with the power company, it’s not the dudes getting swamp ass trying to fix the power, it’s the dudes telling everybody to turn their AC systems off while sitting in front of a thermostat set to 70°F.

Anything new will probably be a leg up over anything I’ve owned since all cars I’ve bought are used. I did buy a “cheap” E39 Touring, which of course needed about 10k worth of work :D

Oh how I wish we’d been able to move from CDK sooner. They’re like the Sears Catalog of Dealer Management Systems.

I work for a dealer that is more parts warehouse than car dealership. We’re a central hub for a large area that serves regular public consumer, shops, as well as other dealerships. It’s been interesting to…

Sadly I have to follow the mantra of, “You can be right, or you can be dead.”

You can ride in that lane, but the chances of getting smeared are extremely high. I had a friend get clipped by a truck, broke his collarbone and sent him over the handles. The pickup truck owner acted like my friend was in the wrong and told…

Price is par for the course. I’ve seen manual V70Rs with over 100k on the clock listed for over $20k before the insanity of the used car market. They’re either that, or a $6k manual V70R with $16k worth of maintenance work needed.

Lady Gaga’s Ford Lightning.

Good to see the E39 made the list. The E39 M5 was my dream car to buy after finishing school, but then I didn’t finish college for a long time because I couldn’t afford it, and then didn’t even finish with the degree I’d originally intended.

Fast forward a few years...uh, decades and now I have an E39, just not M5-ish.…

Now we just need a Singer-esque builder for old Volvos. If I had the coin, an old wagon w/ cool new components would be pretty freakin sweet.

That’s how I feel about current GM pricing. We have brand new Tahoes on the lot at work that are $80k, and I’m like, “Who the fuck is buying these at this price?”
