I drive a blue BMW 528i E39, very much like this



I can't tell you how much I love the e39. If I saw one in a good shape and moderately priced I'd pick it up in a heart beat.

I've never liked BMW's o.o  I've always thought that they are some kind of "asshole-cars"  ;D  If you have Bmw you must be speeding and driving thru red lights  :P

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Figured it was the air conditioning.

Still, 4 doors do not belong on Porsche's.  It's awesome and awkward at the same time, which just makes it awkward.  Looks like a photon torpedo with wheels.

Thank you. It was a birthday gift to myself last year. I am in love with my car. As pathetic as that sounds I know. Actually, I think I'm in love with the experience of owning and driving it. It makes me all kinds of happy every time I even just sit in it. I will safely say, it's my favoriate car that I've ever owned.

On a less happy note, I've discovered that my ONE black car (2004 Altima) is dying a slow death.   :'(  It's drinking oil at about a quart a week.  Solution?   New engine, new car or keep feeding oil til the whole thing shuts down.   >:(

Sure, I've got over 97,000 miles on it but it's paid off, looks good, runs beautifully apart from the oil thing.  I cannot afford another car.  My temp (yes, temp) job is far from public transport.  I have no money to put down other than what I could get for my car.

I wish there was a way to know how much longer I have...   :sad:

All this talk about Maserati's reminds me of the time I saw a Dodge Aries with three trident badges on them, and the owner tried telling me it was a 1980 Maserati Kyalami.  They kind of look similar at a quick glance, but you could still see the outline of the "Aries" badge he pried off  :lol

I'm not a car guy, so I have a 2007 Toyota Prius.  Bought it new in 2007, and I don't see myself getting a different car until it starts having major issues.  Hopefully by that time the Tesla will have come down in price a bit.

:/   Sorry to hear about that.  97,000 miles isn't that many miles on it.  Have you had a few mechanics check it out?  I would at least get two opinions about it.  I know my Saturn leaks oil (not as much) but it's just the oil pan gasket.  It might be something similar for your car, and less costly.

Actually, just over 94,440 miles - but who's counting?   :\

I've done some research on this problem.  Apparently it's common within this age group of Nissans.  "Pre-cat failure" seems to be the culprit, with a guy on the Nissan forum saying: 
Quote
the only remedy being an engine rebuild, a new engine, or a used engine that doesn't have these issues

 :'(

See, I'm not leaking oil onto the ground, nor is it burning where you can see (the awful blue smoke).  The only areas of concern are the oil gulping and it showing up black when you check the dipstick.  Everything else seems flawless.

I will get an oil analysis and another opinion but it's not looking good.  Just putting oil in will let the car live another week to six months.

If I lived out west, I would totally buy one. CT roads and weather wouldn't treat that car nicely.

I bought a Nissan Versa when gas started going through the roof, and even though it's a few years old and pretty damn small I still drive it for the gas mileage.

Yeah, that Challenger is very sweet. They shared that style with the Barracuda. I'd like to have one about circa 1970 or so. Of course, I'd only have one to show really, and I dont have time for that.
If the price continues to fall, I might actually buy a Fisker Karma soon. Test drove one a couple of times the past couple of months. Maybe a good investment, since theyre going to be no more.

Hopefully if it arrives on time at my dealer this Friday, I will be the very happy owner of a dark blue 2014 Nissan GT-R black edition. I traded in my Mitsu Evo and a Saab 9-3 that wasn't being used. I can't wait to play with the launch control. :angel:
