The evolution of the BMW M6 with a glimpse of technological progress / Personal_Finance / Motoring
By: Sumeet_Manhas
The 1986 BMW M635 CSi E24 is easily recognizable due to its shark-nose front end and angular interior. For car enthusiasts who appreciate classic automobiles, the initial model of the BMW M6 E24 is a valuable gem. This particular model stands out for having been equipped with an exceptional powertrain - the revered 286bhp producing M88/3 engine. Derived straight from BMW's initial generation of their iconic line up which included everything revolving around a special twin-cam-six named optioned-up car known simply as 'M'. The first-generation M6 is what it technically is called but only in America and Japan it was labeled in that way. Meanwhile, Europe had M635 CSi.

By: HGR
It is now just over 1 year since I became aware that my car had been cloned the trigger point being that someone had got a care under my plate MOT'd BEFORE ME! Which an investigation by the DVSA confirmed that a cloned car had been presented at a garage for MOT over a hundred miles from where I reside in a Town that I have never visited, so I did all of the usual stuff i.e. informing the DVLA, Police etc as well as my own detective work in tracking down the person who cloned my car! Anyway following numerous requests this is an update of what has transpired since including my recent tactic of letting my MOT expire, leaving the car parked on my drive for a few weeks to see what happens for if the car plate was still cloned then surely ANPR camera's would flag it to the police to intercept.

Tesla's BIG MISTAKE! Free Charging for LIFE! $700bn Stock Bubble Mania about to BURST! S 85D / Personal_Finance / Motoring
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Tesla's stock price has soared into the stratosphere, touching $900 a share earlier this year with the over hyped Autonomous EV, solar energy stock still trading over $700 a share that values the company at close to $700bn, MORE than ALL of the other auto manufacturers put together! Don't get me wrong, I like Tesla and would invest in Tesla for the long run, but NOT on a market cap $700bn that puts Tesla on a PE of over 1100! For instance Toyota makes 20 times more profit than Tesla yet Tesla is value near 3 times Toyota, what are the investors smoking? Tesla is a auto manufacturer! It should not be valued at about 60X Toyota! That is insane!
Anyway in this video I took a look under the hood at what it's like to own and drive a Tesla partying up with someone who has owned and driven one for 3 years.

Viable Ways to Finance a Used Car / Personal_Finance / Motoring
By: Steve_Barker
Picture this: you’ve already done your homework on how to choose which used car to buy, but you’re still unsure how you’re going to pay for it. You ask yourself if it’s a smart move to finance a used car just as how most people would on a new car. Compared to the latter, there are several risks in financing a used car.
Generally, getting an auto loan can help you buy a car that costs more than its value by doing monthly payments. It is a matter of knowing how to borrow wisely so you can fully enjoy the benefits of a car loan. Otherwise, you’ll end up losing more cash since used cars may have higher interest rates than brand new cars. Before you take your plan to another step, take into consideration the pros and cons when financing a car compared to paying in cash.
