And it's pretty darn quick for it's size and motor.Quote:

Very nice. My BMW wagon was a rare find since it had the M Sport package and not the XDrive (AWD) package. Makes wagons so much more fun when they handle like a sports car. Yours is probably considerably more spacious too. Very awesome.Quote:

Just turned in my Impala rent-a-car. Stories of GM's success are highly exagerated. It's most distinguishing feature is huge seat bottoms. Custom made for America's massive badoinkadoinks.
and only kinda barfed once!
Was it a true 2014 Impala or the 2014 impala Limited which is produced for the Fleet/Rental market and has the same tired design of the last 8 years?Quote:

1974 BMW 2002 tii. No rot. Matching numbers. 5 speed conversion. 3.91 and lsd. Definitely a project that is going to eat shit tons of money and time.
The paint job currently on it is TERRIBLE.
Really really hyped to blow shit tons on this project and have fun ripping around in it.
I know some of you duds have/had these - any recommended projects? Run away?
I truly regret selling the two '73s that I had.

It's pretty darn fast for a shoebox and handles great. i might through a Torrie Tune in it once it's broke in.

The AMG version of that is my "if I ever win the lottery" car.Quote:

Very nice that it has the 1968-1973 bumpers instead of the boat anchors the 1974-1976 models traditionally sported.Quote:

Sport coupes - they're still too long and not 'verts. So nothing.
Roadsters - new there's only one: ND mx-5. I'm afraid it'll be synchroed to death, but the promise of lighter weight with decent power is...exciting (Goodwin Racing just sent me spam as I type, natch.) Old cars, short of joining CCC-Manhattan or funding the local Alfa mech's kids' education, just don't work for me. Lot of guys around here are into the vintage autocross thing, which would make great solo weekend drivers.
Bottom line there's simply no substitute for a car you wear, in which you sit on the powered rear axle, doesn't have a top and pivots around you. I don't drive a lot - when I do it better be memorable and reliable, that's the way I look at it. YMMV.
