I think the previous version (BMW 3.0) was better looking than the 6 series.

Meh...it's OK.

For a modern coupe, I like the SC400...

Amazing how thin the roof pillars are.  I miss those days.

What, the days of being crushed in a crash?  :rofl2:

I always like to see what is new in the Costco website and found this nice car themed book.  Thought it would interest this crowd.

There is also one for watched and I know there are a few people in here that would find that interesting.

^ Thanks!  I have added that to my Santa wish list.
The watch book would be interesting stories to read too.

1982 Dodge Mirada

One of the best looking cars in the 1980s Chrysler line-up.  I seem to recall a 318 V8 with a 4 bbl carburetor was a Canada-only engine and it made the Mirada a strong runner.  This car has t-tops!  Love the road wheels.

I had no idea that even existed.  Agreed, it has great lines (even if it does look like a K-Car that's missing a set of doors).

That's a great unit. Replace the white walls with Radial T/A's and done! Mirada nirvana would be a rare first-year 360 with these wheels, floor shift and bucket seats. Very sharp design to this day, sad that most have an horrif Landau padded top.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.
