The LeSabre of that same year had that same interior. It remains the most comfortable car I’ve ever owned, though every one I ever saw (and continue to see, as with that 3800 V6 many of them are still rolling) had a broken passenger side door armrest. Read more

God, I wish I lived anywhere near there. I’d ditch my X1 for that touring in a minute. And probably get it as a straight-up trade! Read more

How many BMW models even came with the ability to order the N54 with a manual transmission? Just this and the Z4, right?

History of Baseball was a two-part course at Ohio when I went there, taught by the marvelous Dr. Charles Alexander, and a great deal of it was about the integration of sports and American development, particularly with civil rights but also within the lens of the World Wars.  Read more
