Why do people own subaru's these day? The one and only new car bought by my parents was a 1980 GL with a real high/low transfer case, adjustable rear torsion lift, and a factory stock set of extra rims for snows. Tan/White. It rusted to hell after 300k, but that engine was still going. My Dad had a plate welded in the rear floorboards so we wouldn't fall out if we got out of our seatbelts.
But now, why?

I sure miss my e30. 1990 325i 5 speed. I sold it in 2008 with 180k for $6,000 which was a good deal to me at the time. I've been following some of the recent sales on BaT... Kinda cool to see them worth so much. Always makes me smile to see them on the road.
The only surviving photo I can find of mine...
Never got around to replacing that lower front bumper valence... Is it me or are those ALWAYS missing on the non-diving board bumper e30s?

Damn, we're in a tight spot!

Hello geniuses.
Looking for any special insight into this one:
79 ford truck:
originally: headlights would not come on for a minute or so after pulling the switch. Then they just wouldn't come on. Tail lights, marker lights OK.
Replace dash headlight switch. One headlight would be dim, the other bright. When switching with the floor clicker, the dim/bright scenario would switch sides. Since this was a new problem, suspected a defective new switch and went to warrantee the switch. When pulling the switch at the parts store everything worked properly....ie lows lit properly together, highs the same.
I called it fixed (BobMC calls this an FFI. Fucking Fixed Itself) and went on with life for a week or so.
Last night both lows would not light up, but the brights worked ok.
needless to say, this shit is getting old. I'm going to look at the floor switch and kind of dig into the wiring and see if anything looks hinky, but if there's any special insight into this (some weird fusable link, "that's definitely the floor switch, that's what they do when they fail...." that kind of thing) , please by all means share away.
I'm well past the stage of enjoying any of this from a hobbyist standpoint and really just want my god damn lights to work.

Well, the connections at the floor switch looked like dog shit. Cleaned and greased everything up and it all works like it should now.
No big deal sorting shit out here on a sunny day at 45-50 degrees. When it’s 33 degrees and raining and howling wind it’s a nightmare...too much of that lately.

I had e28 and then got an e30 4door sedan. E30 just too small and kinda loud so I sold it. Are the e28’s getting the retro love? Great cars! The e30 cabriolet is different than hardtops and feel much bigger when opened up.

Just saw this on KSL... Looks like a great deal. I sold my last manual vert for $10.5k. Someone should snap this up.

New wheels and tires today along with test fitting a hitch rack. Not under the hood, but i have to show this to someone and it seemed douchey to put on the gram.
