    Anyone else notice how he wrote 6000 words and then slipped this in near the end? Holy smokes dude! That will certainly change your perspective on life. Glad you survived OK and hope you are well now.

    About to Order, Engine Failure Questions

    I don't remember who it was or where, but I think it was a Colombian government official who said something along the lines of "it's not our fault that illegal drugs go into the USA. If they stop the demand, we'll stop sending it." Unfortunately, that's the basis of it, as suggested earlier in...

    About to Order, Engine Failure Questions

    There is a convertible Supra, it's called the Z4. Unfortunately, it's fugly. As for the tariff discussion, they had Robert Lighthizer on 60 minutes last night. Mr. L has been a economic advisor to several administrations since Reagan, including T's first one. He (Mr. L) is, dare-I-suggest...

    Considering buying a buyback 5BW - blown motor issues resolved?

    I got a little bug last month and perused autotrader/cars.com to see what BW were going for. Most of the cars (more than half for sure) that I saw listed had either replacement engines or were unspecified buybacks. Most prices reflected that. I'd suggest that future resale wouldn't be hurt...

    What would you do?

    Ha! One look at those little driving lights, and I would have let you go. Obviously someone not to be messed with. I jest, mostly because I can't remember if those things were an option. OK, so years ago I had a C5 Z06. I street raced some ricer in a Prelude. Yes, a Prelude. LOL, he...

    About to Order, Engine Failure Questions

    So, back to the point of this thread: the OP wants to buy some cars. Aside from the obvious financial impact (which he says is not currently an issue, good for him!) for me the biggest issue has always been storage. But then I thought about it last night, and people that have serious money...

    What would you do?

    LOL to all of you guys. I had a vanity plate on my first plastic car. I worked with a woman who had her name (let's say it was Brenda) on her Porsche 944, and she got rid of the plate. I asked her why, and she said that she'd be driving through town and guys would yell at her "Hey Brenda!"...

    What would you do?

    So I was driving to work yesterday and at a red traffic light I'm behind a C5 Corvette, a bright yellow one, nice and clean, some kind of silly vanity plate on it, and there's one car in front of him and it's three lanes of traffic in 45MPH zone where everyone does 55+. It's dry and clear and...

    How much of that noise is fake?

    Last year I took a potential BW buyer for a ride, and at one point I rolled down the windows so that he could hear the great sounds better. IMHO it was actually quieter with the windows down. So that lends credence to the hypothesis that a lot of the sound is piped-into the stereo system. And...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I washed my car yesterday. Sorry, no pics. You've probably seen what a clean car looks like though.

    The German Tank Problem

    Are we sure that they start the numbers over every model year? Asking for a friend.

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    Bummer. Similar things have happened to me too, but usually on a watch, not a car.

    CT5-V Blackwing Extended Warranty Pricing

    Counterpoint: with so few miles on the car in nearly 3 years, why waste money on a warranty?

    CT5-V Anyone else had the Infotainment not boot up on engine start?

    Ha! You want electrical gremlins and infotainment not working right, buy a BMW. This has only happened to me once, but it really bugged me too.

    Used Value Trend

    It appears to be gone. However, they have another 22 for $87K, so perhaps it was an anomoly?

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    I'm not sure of why the low production numbers for the Supra just like I don't know why Cadillac makes so few CT5V-BW. I too had an SS, and I did fairly well selling it, but I also remember that toward the end, Chevrolet could not get rid of them and offered 20% off MSRP to get them off the lots.

    In a dilemma… Help.

    Yes, or at least it was in MY 2023. But your PDR is not wasted money, it does some cool things and you may see some of that back at resale. Not sure how you digressed into that, but yes, the E39 M5 was the best car that BMW ever made, with perhaps the exception of the E46 M3 (one might...

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    Three thoughts: 1) This is my thread. Knock off the insulting crap, people. If you don't like what someone wrote, ignore it please, or take it elsewhere. 2) Re: giving wrong directions. Years ago I was at my favorite gas station (you remember those, the places with a garage and a mechanic...
