If money is tight for you, then heres my advice. Buy domestic or Japanese. If you live in America, a crown vic is what I reccomend most. Spacious car with decent power and parts so plentiful you can buy them a dime a dozen, the rare times you'll need them since its built like a tank. And they get decent gas milage. Also theres countless toyota vehicles that require minimal maitnence and will last you forever. But the crown vic police interceptor was the best purchase ive ever made in my entire life. Best car ever imo

He passed us going 75 or so, nothing crazy, but I knew what the car was and sped up a bit to try and snap a pic. Not sure if he thought I was trying to mess with him or just wanted to give us a show, but either way he dropped the hammer and was GONE. I mean blink on the horizon gone. Didn’t get my pic, but the image of that beast doing what it was made to do is forever burned into my memory

I had a similar experience with a Countach in the mid 90s. I was driving a z34 Monte Carlo from LA to Vegas on I15 when the Lambo passed me doing like 90. I pushed to about 120 to catch him and did, briefly.... I'll never forget the sound of that V12 pulling away toward the desert horizon. Would make a great movie scene because the cars had such distinct sounds: my Monte was screaming about 6600 rpm in third, but the Lambo had this deep, brassy baritone and about half the rpm, very different from the wail of their newer cars. Made me wonder just how much gear that thing had left.

Nalgafria great little car and a fun one to. Had a yellow 78 and a 74 Fiat 124 Spider. That back in my college days. They broke a lot, and every time I went to pick up them from the service garage, I was decided to sell. But every time when coming back home I would decide to get the another chance. Keep that for some 6 years. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you repair the valve steam seal, i would recommend repairing the water pipe too, because it will get broke after this very fast, or is maybe already. For a cheap repair of the Water Pipe, buy the "sebek water pipe", then the repair will be alot cheaper.

My 2011 BMW 335ix has been pretty reliable. It has 85K miles, and $8500 total maintenance costs so far (including tires and new battery, but it will need new brakes SOON). But, when my 2007 Ford Focus was recently totaled, it had 102K miles and $3600 total maintenance costs (including tires and new battery, and still had lots of life on its ORIGINAL brakes). So, the BMW is just under THREE TIMES the maintenance cost ($/mile) of my super-reliable Ford Focus (which required ZERO repairs during its life). But, isn't that to be expected in a performance sedan? Am I wrong? I really don't know . . . .
