    Exotic car salvage parts

    Does anyone know of a place to find salvage/ wrecked/ used parts for exotics? I am thinking of doing a car theme for the game room and was thinking of doing a ferrari/ porsche/ lambo/ nsx theme with steering wheels on the wall and making a coffee table out of wheels... seeing as usable parts...

    Top Gear - The Stig

    Um I'm pretty sure they were joking... how long has the Stig been around... since before MS retired, right? Do you think MS had time to teach stars how to drive on a British track in a crappy car? I doubt it. And the suit looked brand new and ill-fitting as well. Can I give you a hand...

    Pinewood Derby NSX ?

    My Dad and I never lost a Pinewood Derby race. We walways went for function over form... they weren't the prettiest, but they won the trophies. We used the same tricks... lead weights, lots of graphite powder... the big thing we focused on was weight placement/ balance. the cars always had...

    Mary Travers RIP

    That's very sad, I'm from Redding and she used to come into the little grocery store when I worked there in High School. One time she came in and wrote a check... as per our policy, we always have to put a phone number down on the check... I asked her if she could write it down, kinda realized...

    M3 vs. M5

    Thanks for the offer on the car Jeff, but a little out of my price range right now. I just got rid of my 07 Audi because I don't want a payment on a *nice* (not thrilling but nice) car... I think I am going to be good a keep to my original 7k budget. I have a work car and we are feeding the...

    M3 vs. M5

    Thanks for all the replies. I like to hear other people opinions/ experiences. One thing though... When the previous poster stated the 01-05 will be a collector... didn't the e39 end production in 2003?

    M3 vs. M5

    Thanks for the input. What about thoughts on same range standard 3 and 5 series? I don't need another car, but i can't use my work car for personal use, so I was looking for something cheap... M3/5 may be out, as I don't really want a car payment (even if they are only 20-25k) I'm leaning...

    M3 vs. M5

    Anyone have any thoughts on 02-03 M5 vs. 03-04 M3? Obviously size is the first thing... What about reliability, fit/ finish, performance? Any issues you've seen that are common (ie snap ring for NSX)? They seem to be selling around the same price range and I'd be interested to hear -Xers...

    Colts 22 cal. M4!!!

    Not sure how much that guy is, but what I would do is get a regular .223 M4 and then get a conversion kit for .22. It's a couple of hundred bucks... My friend had a full auto M4 and he bought the .22 kit and it was a blast... thousands opf rounds went through that thing without a hitch and...
