I daily older cars. my “newest” car is already 13 years old. I convinced myself that I could leverage my tools and know-how to drive something thats both a bit unique, and pretty cheap to own (whats depreciation?). And, I wasn’t wrong.

As long as you keep the switch for the windshield wipers in the same place. I don’t want to crash out in the rain because you guys decided to get cute and change stuff. Other than that, nice work. Read more

This reminds me of my last NYC project car. So many red flags I blew by when I bought it. All the bad memories are rushing back to me. All the hours wasted searching for parking in a car I didn’t need. The $350 or so a month I spent for liability only insurance. The $100 or so a month I spent on storage for all the… Read more

Soooo, not just a loose hose like that time my E30 stranded us? If any good comes of your story it’s that it takes a little bit of the sting away from not buying the E28 M5 I saw in Knoxville for $10k a couple years back.

Now, a few years and several thousand dollars later, it runs great, but I’m just sick of looking at it and want it… Read more

I learned to avoid projects thanks to a 1972 Bavaria I bought while exiled to consulting work in Peoria. I had to travel and live there so much I bought it figuring I’d have time to make it road-worthy enough to get back to Chicago and have a body shop fix the front end.

When Tiger Woods won last month at Augusta, all the talking heads were saying it was the “greatest comeback in the history of sports”. The first I thought of was Niki. It will be a very long time if ever before we see someone go from last rights to the grid in six weeks to World Champion in a year.  Heroic stuff. Read more
