This! Picked up my 07' 335i for $3,500. Needed a water pump, thermostat, some suspension work, and some TLC....but I got a hell of a deal. I dumped another $1,000 into it in the form of mods....and now I've got a fun, sporty, nice looking sedan that puts down close to 400hp......and I still have to work on it 😄

YES! And why I love snow - because I get to fire up a cool tractor and spend a couple hours running it.

I guess up there you run a blade? Down here in central Virginia we get a big (2-foot plus) snow every few winters. I just use the front bucket on mine.

I use a John Deere x724 tractor with a 60" blower. I tried a blade on the ATV but it didn't handle deep stuff. And with the blade it just ends up piling up along the edge of the driveway, which is 1/4-mile long and not very wide. The blower sends it back where it came from and leaves you with a nice clean, plumb edge that's easy to find when the next snow comes.

Any old British car. We had a 1970 MG Midget. I think we spent 10 hours working on it for every hour it ran.
The oil filter pot is hidden behind the starter motor so when you need to change oil, you have to remove the starter as well. None of the gauges work more than a few minute at a time. It was near impossible to sync the two SU carburettors. The starter would go bad every other year. It would slip out of 2nd and 3rd gear. I could go on and on.... |

Why not a clean 300zx TT, or if you're up for RHD, an R32 GTR? Both are older JDM cars, so they will surely need work. Turbo means plenty of room for power mods, both are comfy, but not sure how that would compare to your Z4 in terms of ride quality. I loved my 300zx, and plan on buying another one day.
