Well if he can't make them big enough to match the new 3 series, just add more instead?

I have begun drafting my thread for my LX 470 and I hope to post it later today.

This weekend I went camping with my two older kids for the first time in the Lexus. Roof tents are sweet. Boondocking is fun. Nature is pretty.

I feel like you owe us a 4-wheel burnout with the tent still erected.

Also, my GTI came off lease and I got rid of my '01 XJ (it had become unreliable) and got a new DD. '16 JKU Rubicon.

What do you think gets the tent up? :quagmire:

It has a V8. It also has as many speeds as it has wheel drive. It’s slow as balls especially when my two other cars as a reference are rather quick on their own merits. Drive this for a month and hop in the M3 and I feel like I’m teleporting to my destination.

It's fine to stuff a rotary in a 4-stroke Carry, but would be sacrilege to toss out a 2-stroke for a dorito.

The smell of a 2-stroke outboard boat motor is my favorite automotive smell. Is the engine in that thing similar?

It will be a couple months before I have it to say for certain, but it sounds exactly like lawn equipment according to that youtube video I linked, I imagine it will smell just the same since burning oil is a part of the design.

For what it’s worth, Doritos burn oil by design, too, just not as much usually hopefully Occasionally.

It's been one year (and 16,668 miles) today since I rescued my Challenger from New Jersey.

Sunrise in Rye, NH.








Did my first Auto-X event in it last month.

I still love it, this car is one of the best purchases I've ever made.

Oh my god this is beautiful. The Magnum is the car that first got me into wagons and hatches and I've always had a soft spot for it, if they updated it with a Hellcat package I'd be sorely tempted.

Those are both great, I think I would go with the fastback. The hitch doesn't seem as out of place on the shooting brake, adding the spoiler back in but at the top of the rear window might look good.
