    This smells fishy now, and it isn't because of the Smally in the center counsel. #bugattiveyron

    1) Buy Veyron
    2) Submerge Veyron
    3) Collect insurance for Veyron
    4) Repair Veyron in your supercar shop
    5) Sell Veyron
    6) Profit! #bugattiveyron

    @Alfisted: Um, at step 3.5 the insurance company would total said car and say it can't be repaired or salvaged.

    Although having a parts car would make you the best deal around for Veyron repairs. #bugattiveyron

    That's not how any insurance company I've ever heard of works. They don't give a shit what you do with the car, whether it gets on the road again is up to your local/state authorities. #bugattiveyron

    @TechnoDestructo: Leinholders and banks may get to make that decision between the insurance company and them, not you.

    Know of a few cases where the bank refused to let the person keep the car when the insurance settlement hit.

    If you own the vehicle and it is just between you and the insurance company, sure. But this ain't a five year old Camry.

    There will be splain'in to do. #bugattiveyron

    "It is by far the nicest car that I have ever owned, looking to replace it now!"

    "As soon as the insurance company tells me they're going to cover over a Mil's worth of repairs on the first one - all of which I will do at my own shop, of course, at a hard cost to myself of maybe a hundred large!" #bugattiveyron

    He also drove said Veyron into a salt-water bay. I stand by the fact he's endowed with poor decision-making as the default. #bugattiveyron

    After a LOOOONG day of wrenching on the LeMon for Kershaw in ~1 month, we headed inside for some good German grub and a few hours of perusing this w/e's leMons activity. When we stumbled across this E36, teammate Rob (who drives a 525 wagon) exclaimed "That thing's in better shape than my wagon was when I bought it!" Newer, too.


    I did find it refreshing, however, to find that the race was otherwise bereft of modern Sporters of the Roundel. The only other Bimmer to be seen (at least in M. Martin's pictures) was a decrepit-looking 1600/2002, which i thoroughly *heart*.

    Someone should try to cobble together a LeMons car from pieces they pick up on-site when celebrities inevitably crash their cars. I'd call it the "McLamborrera Enzonda."

    My roommate just came up to me and asked, "What can we put on our front porch to get another notice of violation?" (There's an old letter from the city taped to our wall telling the previous tenants to remove an arcade videogame from the porch. We keep it up for laughs.)


    All I had to do was point to the Enzo wing.


    PS: I think we've decided on an old organ, kinda like this one:[denver.craigslist.org]

    Wait, it's that bumper?


    Glad to see it got a BS penalty, 'cause I've never seen a running E36 go for under a grand, regardless of title.


    I take it the grille came from another car he restored?

    @Foozy Ploosh Room: The Auction listing makes no mention of a salvage title, instead it says that it left active duty due to an inability to pass emissions... which is a far more likely scenario to get it down into LeMons territory in "running" condition.

    @Foozy Ploosh Room: Not necessarily to the person selling it. For us, yeah, there's an easy grand to be made there, probably more... for a lot of people it's "in the way" and they want it gone so they sell 'em cheap... that's why there are so many <$500 race cars in the bay area, where I live (where there are no emissions) those cars would be going for $1,200+ easy. Where I live you're lucky to find anything running for <$800, and a lot of the legit LeMons are in better shape than what I share the road with.


    But yeah, the different stories... I smell carp.

    @something_unique_and_descripti...: Yeah, that's true - smog testing effectively drives up the price of decent used cars, which is bad for the lower class, but good for LeMons...


    Still, though, something's up.
