Last night felt subdued. With this great weather we're having, I thought I'd be hearing them all night.
I always go out and blow like $2,000 on fireworks when I come down here and entertain the whole town! We had 45 minutes of straight fireworks here, people sitting out on the road etc.
The 140 fireworks we set off last night all seem to have landed on my car
eek. Bring car cover next year?

The 3.0 CSL is the first road-going car ever built by M GMBH (now BMW M). Despite not actually carrying an M badge--since that wasn't a thing yet--it is perhaps the most legendary M car ever made. Only 1,262 were built through its entire production run, and none came to North America. The final run in 1973 had a slightly larger 3.2L engine and this aero package, which came uninstalled because it was illegal for German roads. With the aero installed, the car was nicknamed "Batmobile"
I wanted to know why it was so cheap (at first glance this is easily a >$400k car), and a run through the description and comments shows that there are no records of the how the restoration was done, and the car is currently not titled.

Asked, answered - but I have to say the civilian version, the 3.0 Csi, is the ONE car I regret not buying - even more so than Stephen King’s black Jaguar XKR (a story for another time). I fell in love with them back in the early ‘90s when I was driving/tweaking 2002s. Compared to a really nice 2002, they seemed so expensive back then at $5k, $6k for a decent one, when you were a broke young guy. I promised myself I’d get one at some point, but got married early and set it aside for too long. Ughh.
A plain 3.0 is still a beautiful sight. I regret never getting one (or yet - but they’ve become far too expensive to be fun with). I have an old photo of one of my 2002s just like this, lake, mountains, sailboats. I’ll try to find it later today and post it also.
Wow nice, your trip is the same length as 1/2 my Arkansas trip!
Last time got 24.5 at 70 average, mileage is always worse for me coming back for some reason. It's very odd since on the way out I always do the last leg hard enough on the backroads to overheat brakes on a few cars.
Only one I haven't overheated was the D4 W12 since it was able to able to carry much more speed in the turns so I didn't have to brake as much. The 4.0 would start to plow 15-20mph lower in sweepers etc so I glazed the hell out of the brakes and lost 1/3 pedal
