I know you'd all enjoy that weather report... but you always have to be factual when telling stories in the toak

I've never bought a non-American car, but I've been looking at the BMW Z3s for a minute now. Anyone here familiar with em, and would a traditional hot rod lover be happy with one?

Morning Lou. Not sure where to even start in on here but you told me to visit. This thread moves faster then I can keep up lol.

BMW Z3? Cool looking cars, expensive to work on. I tend to gravitate to trucks, so I know more about those. I'm a hotrod guy and I can't picture wanting to drive one.

Yeah, I know it's not going to be a tire shredding V8 torque machine. Looks like it could be a fun/spirited canyon carver though

I currently have a 93 Ranger, 07 Ram, 85 F150 and 94 Explorer. I've had enough of trucks for a minute

I drive American because I like the torque and the sound. Mazda Miata looks like it would be a fun canyon carver too. I almost bought a BMW years back, but decided against it for the simple fact of cost of repair and special tools being needed to do something as simple as a brake change and oil life in the computer.

Oh... lol

I drive an 2017 F250 diesel and I'm restoring a 69 F250 SB with a 351 Cleveland in it. After that is a 78 CJ7. Wife has an Explorer and wants a Bronco, new or old, she doesn't care. Still can't get enough trucks. Love 'em!

I love my trucks... but I grew up on Camaros/Novas/Chevelles/Mustangs/etc. I'm wanting to get back into something that's fun to drive and push the legalities of those speed limit signs
