When I found my 1991 BMW 318is on one of the BMW forums, for sale almost 1,000 miles away, I jumped on it quicker than Ken Block smoking a new set of tires. Slick top (no sunroof), manual transmission, unmolested, a great price, and it’s dark gray (I have a penchant for black cars). A […]
Reminiscing over my PV544 Volvo Woodie Wagon
When I was 17, I bought a 1965 Volvo PV544 for $ 15.00. It had been a daily driver of a family friend until it was rear-ended. The insurance company totaled the car thus the windfall for me. The car had been hit squarely in the rear buckling both rear fenders outward. It was still […]

After installing a ‘new’ transmission in my SpecE30, I quickly discovered that there was an issue with the 3rd gear synchro on this Getrag 260. Every time I downshifted from 4th to 3rd I would get a nice grinding noise. Not ideal. I did lots of googling and wasn’t able to find many people who […]
