Once pumping gas a hipster said “that’s bringing sexy back.” For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Justin Timberlake catalogue, that was one of his mega hits.
Hey Dick, what a coincidence, I read somewhere Bernie Sanders' DD is a Rambler! How cool is that?One of my friends (?) took a quick look at my Bavaria the other day and remarked "Nice Rambler"
I'm sure he was teasing (well, he'd BETTER be ), but it got me to thinking.
Both boxy 4 door sedans
Both unibody
Both straight 6 power
Both manual transmissions
Both room for 5
Both underappreciated

The above one just showed up on CraigsList.
Hmmmmm...Lots cheaper to restore. Maybe someone would mistake it for a BMW?
Not only am I confused for Bernie...but my car is confused for Bernie'sHey Dick, what a coincidence, I read somewhere Bernie Sanders' DD is a Rambler! How cool is that?
Damn straight! I recommend you pick up the Desoto Coupe and grow a ponytail. You will never be mistaken for Bernie again! Unless, of course, you are enjoying, certain perks, then I take it all back!Not only am I confused for Bernie...but my car is confused for Bernie's
We need a revolution!
"yeah $100K and a ride to the airport, and it is yours"Best comment as the guy was walking away from my car "that some Pebble Beach shit"
Always hear "wanna sell it?"
This is what we think, but they’re thinking $20,000 should be about what’s it’s worth."yeah $100K and a ride to the airport, and it is yours"
Right, just like the "I will trade you!" from the guy with the crapped out .......fill in blank. BTW, we need more emojis.This is what we think, but they’re thinking $20,000 should be about what’s it’s worth.
When I leave the car parked in front of the house-30 minutes later- my neighbor Neighbohr is knocking on the door “this guy in a Porsche/(expensive car) stopped and was checking out your car, go talk to him, he might be interested”
It was cool the first 10 times, but after a while, it’s hard take anyone serious as they have no clue what these cars are worth today. So I stopped answering the door when my car is outside lol.
Nevertheless, it’s fun watching people take pictures of it, as I did for the longest time.
Yes, why can’t we use outside emoji’s on this form?Right, just like the "I will trade you!" from the guy with the crapped out .......fill in blank. BTW, we need more emojis.
For a while my license plate read "1973 CS" but people kept asking what year is it?I think the coupe is so mesmerizing that the badges disappear. The brain is just not calculating fast enough.
Love this. While I don’t have a custom plate I do have this. It’s the original, note the year in the bottom left. I loved it from the beginning because it was so ESY to remember. And of course course I still get asked what year is it? Bought in 73, same registration in 2021.For a while my license plate read "1973 CS" but people kept asking what year is it?

...The wife went around and noticed my open and complete tool kit. She said something like 'honey come and check this cool tool box', He walked around, took a quick glance and said 'It's a BMW, it needs a lot of tools".

So I guess you called Dennis back. Not sure how old the "crusin the coast "episode was but I just watched it and your coupe looked great!
The 2000cs a super cool, mid century "atomic" car. It is super bad. Maybe not beautiful as an e9 but higher on the "cool" index for sure.“What is it?” ....asked of me by a board member of the BMWCCA as I pulled up in front of the sponsoring hotel at O-Fest, two years ago.
...the ugly duckling syndrome of the 1st Gen Coupe
