I have always been amazed at the awesome power and might of watching the automobile driving down the road.

I'm amazed how a jet weighing tons and tons can fly through the air, or how an aircraft carrier is able to float..

02lightning, that's the crappy part. For his though he got a suspension upgrade from Evolution Performance that helps it out quite a bit although still a pig. Sad that Ford still can't make a turning muscle car. Sad

I caught an American Chopper the other day and Paul Sr. was riding the original wooden Daimler motorcyle around the parking lot at 7 mph. Laughing Laughing

I missed the mockery of this thread as well. Not all cars have to have 500 whp and be modern to be bad ass. I think each of those cars you posted in the first post are equally bad ass. One for the nostalgia and the other for it's modern day aspects(HP, looks, electronics, etc.).

It would be a hard decision for me to decide between modern and nostalgia but I think the 550 would win if I had the cash... Or would it? Really the only 2 cars I would consider dropping 6 figures plus on.

Bambamski,

Mine have yet to go into a shop except for normal wear and tear maintenaince like any other car which I normally do myself.

bambaski, Although im not a huge fan of the looks or weight of the 135i it can be a pretty badass car and throw down some serious numbers when tuned right which is very easy I might add.

I probably wouldn't get a 135i or 335i because of the dumb feul pump, but they are sick cars. 300 HP with BMW handling and brakes is pretty fun...actually I think a 535i has the same engine, too. Twin turbo I6, I like.

Not all 1 series look too bad! Still a bit weird, I don't usually like them but this one is pretty clean.

Chad H, x2. That inline 6 turbo engine is a beast. My realistic dream car is definitely the 335i coupe. I love BMWs. Mr. Green

Bambamski, whats so funny about one of the best lines of cars ever made? Neutral

You would give your left nut for something that can be bought for $15,000 on ebay?
