it wont need a beefier trans? the engine internals will hold up fine? | you need a nice intercooler, charge pipe, a custom e85 tune and you are already at 420whp with 450+ wtq - add downpipes and inlets and you are at 460whp and 500+ wtq , internals can hold 600-700 whp.

one time i walked in and this is how the conversation went
*walks in*
cashier: here for E85?
Me: how'd you know?
cashier: you don't look like a trucker, they generally don't come in wearing shorts

You can get e85 sent to any flying j for no additional cost. I work close to a flying j in Abbotsford and a guy I work with always drops off jerry cans and they bring them to the flying j in new west and fill them for him.

Back to the scheduled programming: https://vancouver.craigslist.org/bnc...911657407.html
Clean E34 540iA at a fair price from Splendid. Pre-Vanos era, these engines go forever. But in typical BMW fashion, everything around it will need some extra care every once in a while.  https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van...911665675.html
Clean 1 owner ES Civic Si, 5 spd, low km with window sticker. Combat the gas prices with this great buy ! And to be fair, whilst not the most durable Civic, it's still damn good -- just make sure oil changes are done on time.

iirc the facelift 7 gens had those issues addressed and were much better to own than the early units
that e34 is a pretty sweet deal. some M pars and hella black magic headlights will update the look.

Porsche Cayman S Manual 6 Speed - $26000 (Burnaby) | Quick question of the day:
1) this 2006 Cayman S for $26k, or
2) a 2006 AP2 S2000 for $26k with exactly the same mileage  | |

Naturally, a Porsche is still a Porsche, and the maintenance costs will reflect that. And with this mileage, there will be more wear and tear related servicing required.

Oh that is a tough question, I have automotive ADD at the best of times. The S2000 you mention is pretty nice (if it's the one for sale right now with the forged BBS's on it). Quote:

I'm a Porsche fanboy but if it's my money I'd go for the S2K. Way better investment upside potential than a generic Cayman that'll continue dropping in value.
