Project Overview

Since I purchased a 1990 911 C4 Cabriolet, I've barely racked up 50 miles on it. Driving has been limited; this is due to a few things, including the fact that I owe a little bit on it and don't want to risk an accident or other adverse event that could impact its value. But there's also the general fear that comes with owning a car like this… more

Project Overview

Much has been written about the late 80s and middle 90s Mercedes-Benz products. The W124 has long enjoyed favor among enthusiasts owing to the platform's longevity and fairly bulletproof reliability. But I'm here to tell you the next generation - the one that got eyerolls and deep sighs from brand loyalists that didn't like the dramatic… more

Project Overview

It has been years since I had a hobby car I made an excuse to drive. Despite having an ongoing rotation of vehicles stretching back about a decade now, it hasn't been since my departed 1995 M3 that I tried to find excuses to get out for a drive - but I've found that in the car infamously known as the clownshoe

Summary

This is a 2001 Z3 M Coupe, one of only a handful with the desirable S54 engine. It's also a so-called "slicktop" which means it was ordered without a sunroof. Although it was a touch neglected when I found it, due to two years of next to no… more

I saw a friend recently who sells houses. He's not a shark or even a remotely proficient realtor. I actually don't think he's a realtor but just some glorified, "I'll sell your home for less" kind of guy. He's not having a great year, noting that prices are down overall, as is the quality of the homes for sale.

At some point, you just can't help people. I know I crow about sellers of enthusiast vehicles being unfairly forced into selling at no reserve, but that's really not much different than believing a fat person was forced to get all their nutrition from Dairy Queen. 

You have the right to say no; it's just that you're impatient, or… more
