A bud had a 95 540i that had gotten the full Dinan 5 treatment. The thing was a damn rocket, but the maintenance broke his heart, and he finally dumped it.

Except for 40,000 miles or so in a Miata, the last two decades have been spent in Ford trucks of one type or another. The 04 F150 is paid for, and I'm not planning on buying anything new for a long time.

I grew up working on cars in Dad's garage, and love a responsive car, but I'd also like to retire, eventually...
