Anyone that thinks a 240D is slow drives too fast.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

Qoute from 'that other site' speaks for me:

"I just don't see how anyone can make a car that goes for 300-400K miles with regular maintenance any 'better.' They built them right to begin with.

Not to mention the resale value is completely gone. Spending thousands of dollars to destroy a perfectly good car makes no sense to me."

I'm on that wavelength...


To each his own though. Someone will no doubt love it. I'm sure someone is lusting over it right now, trying to figure out how to get the cash, etc..
