LOL, np. I forgot the year until I looked it up myself... Read more

I’ve always loved the Z3…so much that it’s amongst my favourite BMW’s. Read more

There is nothing, nothing, like the smell of an old British car interior. My wife calls it musty, I call it heaven. Old leather and wool and whatever they stuffed the seats with, a little oil and grease from the mechanicals, and I swear you can also smell the hint of early fall leaves, but maybe that is just memories Read more

I love it! It’s what Alfred would drive to the market to fetch groceries for Master Bruce. NP

we have a 2020 ioniq ev. it’s a fantastic car. it actually drives pretty well, its very quiet on the highway, appleplay etc, we average 4.8 miles/kwh, surprisingly spacious, the rear has decent legroom (ok-ish great headroom), its pretty much a zero maintenance car (I pop the hood and look under it from time to time Read more

I think we are going to see the emergence of a new car category: the electric beater. I’ve been loving it — in 2019 I bought a used VW eGolf for about 12,000. I also own a Subaru Outback. The eGolf will only has about 100 miles of range, but on most days that’s enough for all practical purposes, and it doesn’t use any Read more

Thanks Rob. Appreciate the history lesson on the 1800. I’d never known about Jensen’s involvement. Read more

NP. I mean it’s high price, but that’s gotta be most awesome thing I’ve seen this year. And nicely put together.

Hell, screw Amarok, VW should put this piece of awesomeness into production. Read more

That’s both weird and wildly inaccurate because sex-having teens almost never get stuck on the underside of a detention hall desk. Read more

These actually have a pretty nice exhaust note with an aftermarket set of pipes. Its not like this thing will ever end up in a museum, great car to buy/drive in all its early-aughts glory. Not the fastest car, or the best handling.. or the prettiest/sought after.. But hey, for $6k its a clean sporty car in great Read more

Was at one point asking 80K for this??!! For that alone the seller can get bent. Read more

That is a part I have heard is tough to get. You should join the owners group on Facebook. Its an amazing resource, while I am confident I could have eventually gotten my car to where it is on my own it would have certainly taken me MUCH longer without the help of other owners. The files section is incredible with Read more

This is what shows up if you wish for a 300ZX on the monkey’s paw. No dice.  Read more
