"Some days the 'flak' is so bad on these roads I feel like I'm attacking Schweinfort (old reference for you history buffs). "
 
Or Regensburg. My uncle flew B-17's in the war (but not on THAT mission).

Oh did they finally upgrade? That must have cost a pretty penny. Yeah, I was reading a somewhat dated article, so that makes sense.
 
But I imagine all military hardware must remain more obsolete than if it were on the commercial marketplace. Can you imagine the lines of code you'd have to write for a space shuttle?

Yeah maybe in 20 years we'll be able to just bolt on some device that by-passes entire engine management systems from the "old days" of 2009.

A co-worker was trying to sell her M edition about 18 months ago, I cannot remember the year, but was burgundy with a tan top. She wanted $8,000 for it.
 
Somehow, I think she still owns it.

HUH??? Can someone explain to me why I'm right now watching a '77 BMW 530i 4-door get $29k at auction? Am I missing something? This is not an M3, its not an 8-series, and it ain't a 2002. What's the deal?

Easily explained - a combination of drugs and alcohol! WTF?? That's one of the least-desireable 5ers, with the thermal reactors cooking the engine and a head with a known defect. The subsequent 528i fixed those problems, and I'd like to find a clean one of those.

If I drive really, really fast... maybe I can get my 3 series down to Barrett Jackson before the bartender gives last call.
 
Think I should throw my old lawnmower in the trunk?
 
I could use the money.
