    Yeah, your car. My mom had one when I was about eight or so. I still remember it. In fact, it was the exact same colour too! :)

    Very pretty cars - before they went with Bizarro styling. The problem with modern BMWs (or at least, my problem) is that they are so complicated - you can't really work on them yourself anymore. I used to own a 1972 BMW 2002 ('02) - and I still have many friends from the local vintage BMW club - including many independent BMW specialist shop owners - and they told me that to service modern BMWs you need to purchase a $35K custom computer system from BMW just to be able to analyze what is happening there...

    Yikes.

    There is a good reason modern BMWs are commonly referred to as "Break My Wallet"...

    I can still do many things myself on my old E30 - could do even more on the '02 - but needed a 4 door car to get the kids in and out.

    If there is no rust - fixing them is easy. They are simple, fun cars that just about anyone can fix. If there is rust... well, like most cars - rust is no good.

    One of the kids on 'Little People, Big World' has a red 1971 BMW 2002.

    Btw, this is an Infiniti G35 Skyline conversion by Top Secret. This car, if I remember correctly, has the RB26dett engine in it.

    After Rieger, Top Secret makes the best body kits on the market.

    Nope. This guy can actually work on his own cars, not just make snide remarks...

    Some cult classics are making their back to the market:

    2010 Ford Taurus SHO (twin turbo V-6, all-wheel drive)

    [​IMG]

    Lexus Supra (no set year as of yet)

    [​IMG]

    I love the Supra's but the new ones are considered supercars with a supercar price ($100,000+)

    At that price I'd rather buy a 1998 Supra:

    Don't get offended at the fact that he insults America at every possible moment.

    Check out the 2011 VW GOLF coupe. I don't know if it's the R32 but I don't care! This is a car I want.

    No, but it is based off of it, I believe.
