Ok, so two honest questions here:
1) how is this car better than one that you build yourself, like the one nick put together? Other than it's rarity, which actually cuts against driving it. 2) how can BMW honestly provide a letter allowing this car to be imported if they've never done emissions compliance on that engine? |

If I picked one word to describe that car ... annoying and irritating ... ok that was 2 words Edit: sorry just realized I didn't answer your question .. yes the engine was loud in the wrong way and your description is pretty accurate. While I never minded vtec's this one I really didn't like. |

40K Ferrari 456 6M.
http://bringatrailer.com/2017/04/19/...errari-456-gt/ This is actually pretty tempting. I've always liked these 456s, and you aren't going to find a cheaper, subtler way to F car ownership. EDIT: Favorite comment: "Shoulder devil: “Wow, what a bargain! Row your way through the delicious sounds of a Ferrari V12” Shoulder angel: “Forget the bid. Just click ‘buy it now.'” Wait, where’s the logic, the reasoning?" |
