TEWKS Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 Half a mile from my house. 31,000 miles $13,000 or BO. Bill, you make these German four wheelers look like a lot of fun! 2 Link to comment

Bill, you make these German four wheelers look like a lot of fun! Looks good Pat, is it an M3, I can’t tell because the wheels aren’t OEM. If so and a manual it looks like a great deal (assuming all else is good). If it’s an SMG box you should do some research beforehand, see if that’s for you (they’re expensive to repair if the pump fails). Link to comment

TEWKS Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 I didn't see any M badging on it but it sure looked like it's been garaged all its life, clean! Now for a reality check, I guess after tuition for the son is paid and we can keep the little one's equestrian costs in check I might start looking for that "cool dad's car". (cool dad, yeah right) If that ever comes into play, it might have to be a Porsche though. It's coming up on 40 years of wanting one, well not as much as wanting a diverse collection of motorcycles I guess, but YKWIM. Link to comment
roadscholar Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Yeah it’s a 325i, still a fun car but 3-5k over market at least here in the Southeast. Delayed gratification, good : ) 1 Link to comment
longjohn Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Western Fence Lizard. I hike a couple times/wk in the SM Mts and these guys are out enforce in the warm weather. Ticks carry less Lyme Disease in areas populated by these guys, as a protein in their blood kills the bacterium in the tick's stomach. And a Spotted Towhee, also in SM Mts. 4 Link to comment

As silly as that may sound with it being a big factor in who could operate the car. It was missing yesterday so it possibly sold or just tucked back into its garage because of incoming weather.

Meh, my kids went through several schools by the time they were nine, kids are pliable, they can adjust. I was going to link you to a smaller place with a better price, 68 acres at $299k but it's under contingent. Nice little three bedroom that would need to be brought from the 70's to current looks but,.......68 acres!!! If that had been on the market when we were looking we'da jumped on it, seeing as how we tore down damn near every interior wall in the house we did buy,......gotta love trussed houses, no interior load bearing walls Link to comment

RandyShields Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I've always loved the look of the HD dressers. I found myself years ago going into the garage after a couple of beers to admire the lines of my Road King and, later, an Ultra Classic. The performance and suspension on both led me to move to a RT in 2002, but I still admire their design. 1 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 I rolled out my 92 ultra today and it happened to lead me back to the hog-pen. Now, It's never gonna have the performance of a modern-day BMW but, if used as intended it's enjoyable. (to me anyway) The new ones are light years better but holy shites batman, $34,000 bucks for the paint job that makes me weak in the knees. Edit...they do include the bike for that price I guess.
