yeah, definitely only nostalgia.
i'll give it "run amazingly", though.
Maybe nostalgia isn't the best word. There's an irony of driving a car that was once desirable and prestigious, but now is one of the cheapest and least desirable BMWs available. The fact that this particular example is a bit rough around the edges just makes it better for me. I enjoy being the last owner of a car because it means I can do whatever I want to it with gleeful disregard for resale value. I've always driven POS cars and don't feel comfortable driving something that is too new or too nice. For me the worry about wear and damage stresses me out more than any benefit I get from having a "nice" car. This car is rusty enough that I wouldn't feel right about selling it as-is let alone in the condition that it's likely to be in by the time I get rid of it. The engine is quiet and running flawlessly and the trans seems solid, so I'm sure those parts will find a new life somewhere once I'm done with them.

I saw somebody towing a Chris Craft on 29 out by Abbotsford the other day. That is the dream for sure.
Incredible labor of love, but some of the most beautiful machines of all time.

Anyone keep in contact with @industrialsized? He was caretaker for some pretty impressive old boats...

This is my first time doing it. It will be a learning experience for sure but I'm confident I can do a decent job. I will be practicing on my buddies saab 9-2x first but I'm glad to hear that about bavsound. I went back and forth on them and Match for the last week

Don’t know if anyone else here likes golfing, but I love golf. Not great at it, but usually shoot around mid 40s for 9. Been sharing my dads old iron set with my brother for awhile and decided to just get my own to get my own full set of clubs(had my own driver, wedges, putter).
Went with Callaway Preowned’s as I don’t need a $1000+ set of Mizuno’s or Titleist’s for my skill level. Purchased the Callaway XR’s in 5-PW in average condition, but received the XR Pro’s. Not complaining about a free upgrade.
Felt so good coming off the club when making contact, loving them so far. Birdied the first hole last night with a little 15 foot put. But proceeded to play as usual afterwards lol

I'm excellent at drinking on a course. I have a friend who's a golf pro in California and he's described my swing as "I don't know why that works". So, you could say I'm kind of an enigma in the golf world.

I used to play in high school/college. I maybe play 2/3 times a year now. Got burnt out on it unfortunately.

My drinking is better than par regardless of the location. Haven't swung a club since maybe 2005, but I ain't afraid of looking dumb....

Problem is all of these "golfers" wanna box you into hitting a ball around the lawn when in reality if you went drink for drink on the course you'd be tiger woods in their world.

I'm terrible at golf, but I do enjoy doing the charity games my friends like to participate in. Whatever it's called where you take the best shot from each round is where it's at, so bad players like me aren't holding the team back.
scramble. those are the best rounds of golf for sure! so much fun.

Heck yes, it lets me try to hit bombs without any real repercussion
