Hunters can't even take legally harvested out of state lions into California I don't think

 

No

 

I'd love a poverty spec 80 series; no flares or side trim, and especially no sunroof.

 

I think that's correct but it has been challenged and not prosecuted. If was Legal take there is not much they can do. I don't think a taxidermist would mount it here for you though. Just get it mounted Out of state. By the way CA Mountain Lion Tastes very similar to Utah Mountain Lion. Somewhere between a Bald Eagle and a Sea Otter. The authorities are free to collect my stool to check it for DNA.

 

There was a no sunroof 100 series for 4600 the other year, regret not buying it

 

Never seen one without a roof.

As comfy as they look to be, I can't see myself ever owning one.

 

Tossed a bid on this, I suppose we will see what happens.

 

Is the f30 platform any good or is it just cheap or are you just bored?

 

Nothing wrong with F30s, the later ones that went to the B series engines are great. This is an early one with an N engine but still super reliable. The Corolla is being a pain lately and I like having a car around, this gets comparable mpg typically. I don't know if it is cheap yet though haha. A lot of stuff at this auction goes cheap, it was for sale for 8k at a dealership last I saw and they sent it to auction, if it's under 5k I'll win it.

 

I just associate them with lots of bondo, buy here pay here lots and dope smokers but that's probably dependant on what region you're in

 

This is true, lots of used BMWs with rebuilt and salvage titles. I don't really care for a daily driver, I've had plenty of salvage stuff.

 

I did the timing chain on one with the n engine back when i worked at an import shop and it was the stereotype down to the T

Drove great though

 

Those engines are tough to work on for stuff like that. I don't like taking down the variable valve lift assemblies

 

Fml, thought today was the day my tires got installed, got to Wally world at 745am only to realize it's next Wednesday

I was surprised when I thought they could install those Thunderers just 2 days after I ordered, makes sense I guess they'd need to order them

 

saw an article today and reminded me of this, though I don't think Romania is a superpower lol. But apparently they are still flying Mig 21s first introduced in 1959 and will be for another year, crazy

I kind of like the concept, "let's build a plane around a big ass jet engine" look

 

Good luck! There's one here we are going to test drive. Sedan and gas but should tell us if we like the platform in general enough to be more serious on the wagon.
