Did an inspection and heater core is leaking, a lot. Cam belt is crackling. Can’t sell the car like that I’m too honest I guess. Gah, think this is the last fixerup I buy. Saving up for a gt stang.

Two out of three is out of order. White tank with 270k is running like new. Never selling that one.

Nice 540! I'd love an E39 540i. My dad has a 528i wagon, awesome car. They're so solid. If I were to get one for myself though, it would have to be a manual V8, or a manual 530i at the very least. The M52 in the 528 is a very smooth engine, but it lacks actual power. I have to give it credit though, it makes the most of the 193 horsepower it has between the VANOS and DISA.

This Is California I would never buy a stick. That car is hands down the best one I ever owned. It’s 16 years old but handles like a race car. Im scaring my neighbors blowing up rear tires covering the neighborhood in smoke. I’m getting rid of all to buy a 2011-20014 mustang. Gonna put a Roush kompressor kit on it. It’s begging of trouble but wtf.

Yeah, I totally understand not wanting a stick with the traffic you guys deal with over there. Around here we have too many fun back roads for me to want an automatic!
That's gonna be a fun car! My cousin just picked up a 2001 Firebird Formula with the LS1 and a couple bolt-on goodies. The sound of that thing makes me want a V8!

Once you get to drive a V8 powered car it's done. You just want more and more power! :) My Bimmer has almost 300hp and a brutal torque. It was fun for a while but like I said you want mooooooo pooooowa.

its the Atom right? A friend of mine has that one. Nothing I would by, more like a gokart on steroids. Seems fun though.

You do know stick shifts are allowed in the Carpool lane with no speed limit, right?
