BMW: the (de)generations of design.
I grew up with BMW as my favourite marque; mainly because of my undying love for the E30 M3 when i was a young child. I’m not sure why I wasn’t like other children who loved Corvettes and Porsches, because I wasn’t. I still remember my parents buying me a radio controlled car when i was very young (9 or 10?), and I didn’t choose the red Porsche, i chose the dark grey E30 M3. I wish i still had that radio controlled car…
Anyways, BMW is a company who i’ve watched deteriorate in charm. They may still build very fast and potent automobiles—-but they leave me feeling numb. The modern BMW design is stale and very non-BMW in many ways. To be honest, the 1-series is the only BMW I am really a fan of—-and that is a great car to drive as well.
Here are 2 photos. One of all the 5-series and one of all the 3-series. The best ones are on the left side of the pictures.
foto of the day. C30 Polestar.
This car is badass…and nobody even knows what it is. AWD. 400hp. 5 Cylinder turbo.
my sister has a regular C30, which I have to say—is quite an enjoyable to drive with the stock 210hp. It is also, in my opinion, the best looking hatchback on sale in the US at the moment. This Volvo C30 Polestar is only a concept, but it pretty much kicks absolute arse! The big question then is—why does Volvo refuse to build it?

R18 TDI. bring on Le Mans!
I rarely find prototype race cars to be ‘beautiful’ any more, but the R18 TDI is just utter gorgeousness in its beastly black and its crazy divider fin.

foto of the day. RS2.
Yes, currently banned for importation into the US—–however I am holding my breath for the 25 year classics rule. One of my all-time favourites, the legendary Audi RS2.
foto of the day. urquattro
with fat 5 (TT) wheels? never seen that before…WANT.
foto of the day. B20.
From a vintage auto parts book….so cool. One of the most beautiful cars ever. The Lancia Aurelia B20 GT.

So i’ve developed a very unhealthy admiration of the Porsche 911 GT3 these days, maybe because it is practical and insanely fast…..like ass-whoopish fast compared to nearly anything on the road; but also because i met a gentleman at a car show a few months ago, who was talking to me about his new GT3 RS….who told me one of his favourite cars he ever owned was a TT 225 Coupe, and then proceeded to convince me that i should be driving a used GT3…. this conversation really sank in over time. Pre-owned GT3s are a hell of a deal……..996s especially—–HOWEVER i still hate the interior of the 996, and i had the exterior weird side skirts and thin body of the 996s as well…..not enough muscle, too much skinny finesse…..what also ruins it for me, is how several people i’ve spoken to who have driven and/or owned a 996 GT3 seem to say the same thing; that the car is very fidgety and not so stable turning nicely paved roads into concrete slabs of hell with shifty wheels?
How would i want mine? Black on black of course—the only combination for me….but no worries, it’s not happening any time soon….997s are still pulling $90k and above.

foto of the day. R5/A310
love this picture. love these 2 cars. people don’t seem to understand just HOW SMALL some of the Alpine cars were….the A110 makes the Lotus Elise look like a massive supercar……and by this pic, you can see how tiny even the larger A310 was…
