By-Tor Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 I've had BMWs, Mercs, Porsche 928 S4 (still have it). But the thing is... I want a JAG. And this JAG. The problem is... they're still too expensive. But cars like this depreciate heavily. I think this is the best looking car on the market right now. 1
eunomians Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 By-Tor, I agree that it is a beauty! A friend has one he got last year. It’s white which is not my favorite color but it’s really nice looking regardless. 1
By-Tor Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 Yeah. Mercedes AMG GT-S and Porsche 911 can probably beat in on the track with ease but I don't give a shit. Listen to these sounds.
eunomians Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 Droool! I’ve been a 911 daily guy for years but the F type is incredible 1
By-Tor Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 Well who really ISN'T a 911 guy? How can you NOT love it? It's like saying that you hate the classic 1680/16610 steel Submariner. You just can't. So many nice cars, so little money (and space). But can't disagree with Jeremy here.
eunomians Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 Lol!!! Related sidenote: The E-Type is on my list to own before I leave this planet! 1
By-Tor Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 Yeah. You should have bought a good one in the early 2000's. The prices have gone up lately, just like Merc Pagoda and water cooled 911's. The pristine ones are sick expensive.
eunomians Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 Yep! Agreed. The door is closing quickly. I (mostly) daily drive my ‘84. It’s a pain in traffic but the smiles it has given me for 6 years or so has been worth it. The gauges matched my old Lava AP nicely! 2
By-Tor Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 That's amazing man. I love it. PS: What do you think about the new 8-series? The new S-coupe is absolutely SICK looking but now there's finally a competitor.
eunomians Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 I’ve been seeeing a few of the benzes here in LA, and I gotta say, dang do they look great in person!! I like the 8 as well. I’m very familiar with the old E31 before going backwards, way backwards, to Air Cooled 1

swdivad Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 I drive this... and it's a pleasure to drive :-)
Nummer14 Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 Switched from a 5 series to this;And still no regrets....
eunomians Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 Yes!!!! So few cars these days seem to retain that kind of substantive elegance.
eunomians Posted January 4, 2018 Report Posted January 4, 2018 Euno has a beautiful example. Thanks By-Tor! Had this for more than a decade and once in a stupid while I think about selling it. But then I look at it, I drive it, and the old girl catches my heart again. 2
Nanuq Posted January 4, 2018 Report Posted January 4, 2018 Rahr! This is where I get my smiles per mile. 2
eunomians Posted January 4, 2018 Report Posted January 4, 2018 Always have dug yours! One of these has always been on my list too. And uncle of mine had one when I was a kid. In the winter, I’d detach the window defrost tube and put it under my jacket. Instant roaring heat!The prices on these have gone nuts. And the shady D90 USA importer guy who got busted really really ruined the chances of getting one or any other model into the US easily
By-Tor Posted January 4, 2018 Report Posted January 4, 2018 That is one of the nicest E31's I've seen. Was it a CSI model or just standard? Can't remember. Mark these words... it's so obvious that these are going up in value very soon. Just like the old 3.0 CS-models. They used to be dirt cheap... now they're as expensive as Mercedes Pagodas. Merc R107 is next also. I prefer the SLC myself. 1
docthor Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Thanks By-Tor! Had this for more than a decade and once in a stupid while I think about selling it. But then I look at it, I drive it, and the old girl catches my heart again. Nonono...don't sell it...neverever...this is one of the best looking cars ever!!...sent with wooden drums via Tupperware.
