Let me finish growing my stache and I'll get back to you.

I'll have the '97 Dodge.

He's got a lot of crap to sell on that auction. Wonder what's up with Burt besides being old.

For some reason, Burt Reynolds is one of those actors that I just can't imagine being "old".

[Gabe]

His address is on the title for the Bandit car. It's literally no more than 10 minutes from my house. I'll have to take a drive out there and see what kinda classy place it is.

[Sigwolf]

What's funny is that that car wasn't even in the movie. They describe it as a "promotional vehicle for the movie".

[CBear3]

I want his expired American Express

dat Rolodex might be worth a few bills

Okay looking at certified A4 or 328i but found a great deal on a 2014 used 328i. Under 30k and 13k miles.. I guess if it comes with the original manufacturer warranty, is there any reason to worry about it not being certified if it's that new? I guess I'm worried as to why it isn't certified, I've only leased before so this is new to me.

[dodint]

If it comes with the original warranty I don't think certification really matters. I'd still do a vehicle history report on it and if you're buying from a BMW dealer give them the VIN (or the key) and have them pull the service record. If it's not a BMW dealer call over to one with the VIN handy and see what they can tell you about it.

Still a vehicle like that usually comes certified. I would definitely ask why it's not certified. Usually you get a much better warranty when certified as opposed to just balance of the factory warranty (which by the way, make sure its fully transferrable - I know Kia and Hyundai only transfer 60k miles instead of 100k)

Thanks guys. Just seems like too good of a deal almost

[tifosi77]

So I got a Living Social deal in m email today....

• $129 ($259 value) for a three-lap ride-along in a Lamborghini LP560, Audi R8, or Nissan GTR driven by a pro driver
• $179 ($259 value) to drive three laps in a Lamborghini LP560, Audi R8, or Nissan GTR
• $209 ($299 value) to drive three laps in a Ferrari 458 Italia or McLaren MP4-12C

This would be at Willow Springs, about a 90 minute drive north of my home. I'm tempted.....

[blackjack68]

Which would you go for?

[tifosi77]

The Ferrari 458. Might also pony up for the three pro-driven laps, just to get an idea for braking and turn-in points early on to maximize the hotlaps.

[mac5155]

Got myself into a 1997 12 valve cummins this weekend. Much much cheaper to run around. I was going nuts during hunting season without a 4 wheel drive vehicle.

[MRandall25]

How is the Lambo cheaper than the Ferrari? LP560 is no joke.

[tifosi77]

The Murcielago has been out of production for four years. But that does seem good value for money, comparatively.

[dodint]

I have a similar school picked out in Ireland when my wife and I finally get to take that vacation. Learning RHD manual in a supercar should be a hoot.

[tifosi77]

The shift pattern is the same, not mirrored. So 1st is still forward and to the left.

[dodint]

So, like, what? I'm going to practice now with my left hand? It'll be like shifting The Stranger.

[tifosi77]

New Bond pic 'SPECTRE' will see the main villain driving the C-X75, Jag's never-built hybrid hypercar.

What, you never shifted for your wife when you got too drunk to drive home? :pop:

I see a similar thing showing up on our Living Social. I don't think they'll be doing any drives here for the next few months though.

What is the circuit where you'd do the laps?
