I built the above replica of the 1966 Shelby AC Cobra from frame up. I sold it last year because I used the Nova a lot more.

Well, had to essentially repo the Jeep from an employee of mine who couldn't pay it in full over the summer like was promised. But hey, I have my Jeep back that I kind of didn't really want to sell anyway.

Only three weeks to the Endless Summer Car Cruise in Ocean City. I hope the weather is awesome. Can't wait!

[1/28/01]

In car search mode again. This time, its either a 550i, M5 or back to my staple of a 750i/750Li. Love me some car searching!

[cobrajet]

I wish the weather was a little nicer on Saturday but the Ocean City Car Cruise is always an awesome time.

Just kinda curious about what you all think of buying an electric car? I was thinking for my next car that I buy an electric car but wanted to see if anyone here had experience with them. I know I read things like some cars can go 1000+ miles on a single charge, it saves you money, and things like that. Is it really worth buying an electric car or am I better off sticking with a gas powered car?

I think you may have added a zero to that MPC (miles per charge) figure.

sidenote, if any of you guys are searching for vehicles or projects on craigslist, use a site called statewidelist.com

It groups it by state instead of citys or countys. 

 

Also, just got me a little 09 civic hybrid.  Not a bad little ride, San Diego to San Fransisco and back average 40mpg.

I have read that the increase to your household electric bill can be significant. Possibly not enough to offset your fuel bill otherwise.

Short answer, stick with gas powered vehicles.

Did a muffler delete on the Bimmer, I love the way it growls!

Very nice!  Congrats bro!

Looking at a 2010 M5 tomorrow. I want it. I need it. I have to have it!

[1/28/01]

Well, the 2010 had higher mileage than I wanted, so 2008 it is!

Okay, opinion time...

760Li or M5?

Go!

Only took 3 years to finally pull the trigger, ha.

I have a super non fast 04 Silverado Z71. I don't know why, but I love that truck.

I bought it for an insane low price from someone that I know because it also had been babied.. (50k miles at the time in 2013)

At first I just couldn't get past that funky front end..but it's grown on me.

It rides like a freaking Caddy compared to my Wrangler. LOL

Hit 110 on 295 today just for a few hundred yards and then backed it down. Hadn't opened up the 5 yet and M mode was just begging for it!

[K-Dog]

Have you ever seen an M3 that looked like this ?
