Does that mean "Oh to be crucified?"
Or federal employee waiting for retirement? Hmm. That's kinda like the same thing, ain't it?

I saw "HI IQ" on a Smart car the other day. It turned and drove off before I could get a picture, but it made me laugh.

Anyone understand the logic behind it?

It renews next August, hoping TN gets new plates for 2015 as we have had the same standard plate since 2006.

Your car was made from the BMW parts bin of the 80s/90s?

BINGO! I should have known you would be the one to get it. Front Suspension = E36, Rear Suspension = E30, and Engine = E46. 3 generations of 3-Series.

It certainly could be on another vehicle, but it has a clean title and no DOT-R panels (All VIN tags present).

I'll admit I've been a bit behind on Z rumors the past few years, but given what yours is sharing the garage with you might be interested in this. Apparently the next gen Z3/Z5 (is it one model or two? I have no clue) is being joint developed with Toyota. What does this mean? No clue. But maybe something a little more basic and less $$? Only time will tell

Because everybody is asking for a front wheel drive roadster? *sigh* I bet it's auto only, too.
