Nobody ever said pimpin' was easy! Some serious coachwork

$10k? wow! I was just throwing a guess with $5k. I suppose $10k shouldn't surprise me, given the complexity and scarcity of talent and parts. I'm glad I don't have to worry about that rebuild!

yeah Arde, it probably won't take much to talk me out of it! I do love her, but get the "7-year itch" every now and then. Somehow I need to follow in the footsteps of Atan888 and figure out a way to have ALL my favorite cars in my garage at one time!

Alright, I think I'm going to sell my coupe. I say "think" because I was talked out of it last time by some well-meaning board members here. Bottom line is that I've got the p-car bug again and have an opportunity to jump on an early 911S that I have been coveting for years. Rather than...

Nice grab! I must have forwarded the B-A-T link to about seven friends trying to temp them to buy it. If it were chamonix I'd have been tempted myself.

Bring-A-Trailer featured this '88 M5 in Sarasota, FL with some issues. Seems like seller is asking $4,500, but I bet there's a lot of wiggle room. If the S38 and tranny are in working order, this could be the basis for a swap because you'll obviously have the complete wiring loom. I'd...

only in Arkansas

I'm somewhat of a purist also, but there is definately a place for tastefully-modified vintage cars like this. Like it! just hope you've got enough ponies under the hood and suspension mods to back up that aggressive look.

I'm pulling for you Duane, but that tall, leggy blonde sure makes a compelling argument to vote for her! That '64 Alfa is pretty "hot" too!

my oil fill cap has an old, hardened gasket ring and doesn't seal as well as it should. allows oil to trickle out (minimal, but annoying) over top of valve cover and onto the manifold (only when doing long highway runs above 3500RPM or so). I know what you're thinking, and yes, I've...

Thanks guys - all good advice. The one other question I have (and it may turn out to be very obvious), but what size bolt/allen head size for the fill and drain plugs? Reason I ask is that I have access to a garage with a lift, but need to import my own tools from my own shop. Don't feel...

I guess I was trying to suggest that with an automatic transmission, there is no need or expectation for aggressive performance out of the rear end. Conversely, if I had say a 5spd CR w/ modded 3.5, maybe I'd consider the need for some more robust lubricant in the diff. thanks for the advice...

Now that spring is on our doorstep here in New England, I'm unearthing the coupe from its winter cacoon and attending to some routine maintenance. One of the items I'm addressing is changing the rear diff gear oil. I have a non LSD rear diff and haven't been under the car in a while so...

Haven't heard of any alignment issues, but a 6000lbs SUV will certaintly eat through tires. I'll check with my Rennsport boards regarding Cayenne alignment now that I'm curious.

Cosworth? where can I check one out? Call me cynical, but if Ford makes a real car (like a Cosworth) it's probably not avaiable in the states (just an uneducated guess) The forum can chide me at will for what I'm about to say, but I just learned that the all new 2011 Cayenne is due in...

Model years 2003-2004, or just one year for BMW? I drive one and liked it, but that's different than "owning" one and having the service department on speed dial. All the interior switches and gadgets were signature BMW stuff, which doesn't improve or detract from the RR IMO, but the feel of...

I've seen the Genesis on the road. I have to say, it's not a bad effort in terms of styling (considering the maker), and I hear performance and luxury are very comparable to a Lexus. If you'r looking for a solid luxury sedan on a budget, I bet this is a great car. So kudos to Hyundai...

That's a tough call between the two. Driving impressions and the feel of the interior dimensions may prove to be a tipping point for you. Depending what your tolerance for out-of-pocket repair bills may be, I'd vote for the RS4 for scarcity and performance. Regardless, it's a no-brainer for...

Hmmm, this thread may morph into an entire other discussion regarding the value of certain pre-owned cars over a longer time span.....that's okay, b/c that is most definately part of the selection process. An e39 M5 would be a good contender IMO, but I try to stick w/ low mileage cars under 3...

SCM just sent me a notice of the two upcoming RM auctions featuring over 150 cars from the collection of the late John Quinn. Although no E9s are involved (no real interesting BMWs at all in fact), there are two Porsches that are of interest. N/R - '73 RSR reproduction N/R - '96 993 TT...
