I saw my old e90 330i in traffic this morning and I thought, man that was a really good looking, fun car.
About 10 minutes later I saw a brand new M8 Competition in that plum color and thought, man that's a really fast car that looks completely boring, soulless and ugly.
Congrats, e46 is probably the best handling car I have ever driven. Fortunately for my wallet they are too small for me to DD (can't fit behind me when I drive). e91 was fun but after a sudden waterpump failure earlier this year I am happy to have sold in the hot market.
That v60 polestar is way too expensive for me. Hopefully taycans will depreciate like panameras. The new macan EV could be a fun option too even if it is too tall the be a wagon. I need a cheap reliable car for a few years but hope to be back in something fun when the nice evs start getting cheaper.

Finally. A roof box that can handle 120+mph.
Let’s all take a moment to appreciate this.

My Outback with a Thule Sonic XXL on top and definitely hit 120 mph a few times across WY. Not to mention it was crazy windy. The box would get pretty crooked but held up fine.Quote:

My top box is concerning only when I don't have skis in it. Even in the summer I put a pair of old flat skis in it for support. Should only be a problem for the box for looks crowd. WTF stop the gentrification of top boxes.
I posted this three days ago about the same car (but all stock)Quote:

^^^^one of those 2008 535xi Touring with similar mileage on SF CL for $7500. Talked to guy. Seems well maintained.
I like it.Quote:

Speaking Of Genesis, I have been drooling over the new GV70. 4 banger with 300hp and awd. Review by Mari https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY8xjz8OiBs
It's a good point, not exactly a sleeper. Meanwhile, my car stands out like a sore thumb but looks way faster than it is. Half the power of that RS6 but same effect on marginal law breakage d'oh! Not remotely in the class of some of the Audis, Bimmers, or Volvos in here, I do enjoy her good looks though...Quote:

Great car, I'm sure you'll get a pretty penny for it. Googling the model this one came up, holy shit, droooooool....Quote:

Also droooool....Quote:

Seems none the worse for wear but still, I try to keep it under 110 now with the box on just to be safe. Thing bobs up and down pretty good at high speeds especially when it's windy. Kind of unsettling.Quote:

I’d like to be, maybe next car. For some reason I’ve got myself convinced I can’t afford one on a butt wiper’s wage. I guess either you spend on maintenance on German cars, or spend on a new block for turbo Subies when they spin a bearing or blow up a piston.Quote:

I think we've talked about this before, but my best friend has the same gen wrx/sti, pretty far from stock at this point, and it is a fun fast car.Quote:

My wife and I discussed a Sprinter after the neighbor bought one and I guess we are too cheap, but justifying the $80k price tag didn't pencil out for us and how we spend our time.
