You aren't good enough for the title of alcoholic unless...

No doubt it's ugly but it is still a a fun car to see in existence. We rarely see those oddities with manufacturers today. The m coupe was a project by some engineers on the side that made it to production. You just don't see that anymore sadly.

 

Yea it needs a revamp if I decide to get it. Don't know if it is worth 4500 to me since I don't really need it, but I could use a vehicle for longer hwy trips. 250k miles 5vz auto prerunner. Seems like with some work and shock tuning it could be fun. The rear is SUA with unknown length smoothies. It would need Front and rear bumpstops, rear 2nd gen conversion glass mounts fabbed, rear fender pieces of the front one piece conversion, headlights and taillights.

Could just pull everything off and sell it to get stock bed and body panels and put the old suspension off the 4runner to use on it to make it cheaper and ok on the hwy.

 

I'd offer you some bucks for the suspension, but it's so questionable I'm not sure where I'd start with it.

 

I think I could get ok money for it if it cleans up alright. Coilovers are decent too which would help. Not many reasonable 4x4 options though which would be a ding.

Could go on the runner if I cut up the arms to make it a 3.5 kit or get +4 rcv shafts. Lower uniball would be nice and the steering setup looks good as well. Bump steer with the heim setup on the 4runner is a little scary at high speed but it is strong in rocks.

Anyone know the going rate on a stock shortbed?

 

The hard sell is the lack of 4WD, I have LT CVs in my garage but they're for a 3.5" over kit.

 

I thought that new Touring concept they had in Italy earlier this year was amazing.

You should warn people before you go posting gore photos, now if you'll excuse me I need to find a bucket to puke in.

 

Understood. You're excused, try to get it all in the toilet, its never fun to clean up outside of the bowl.

 

Lol they did the proportions all fucked up just like that awful clownshoe again. If any BMW should have a FWD layout to shorten the hood it's this thing

I think, "fucked up proportions," are just bullet point number one for all shooting brakes.

Can I interest you in a Ferrari FF?

 

The less sharp roofline height increase is a little better but let's talk about who the fuck buys that when they have Ferrari money?

 

I actually love the BMW shooting brake

 

Damn

 

Had a customer at a gun store my uncle works at I met a few times that would usually drive one in. Had kids so probably one of the more sensible daily driver ones for him to own. He had like 12 other Ferraris though so likely another level of money paired with an addiction.

 

Decisions

 

Tall people who don't fit in a normal Ferrari?

I would at least hope there's more headroom and the seat slides further back in that thing

 

I didn't realize how light a Tacoma rear axle was I swear an. F450 hub and rotor weighs 75% of the 1st gen Tacomas complete axle
