Here are my babys

A mint 1990 BMW 325i convertible! Bought it from original owner. Likely the nicest one in Michigan.

A 1993 Bmw 740il limo with the big old V8!!


Both rust free and both didn't see a winter ever

Not at the moment, but I have fed numerous pre 1994 BMW's into the crusher when they reached end of life. Right now I have a rolled over 325 sedan, 2000 I think, and another of similar vintage with some unknown engine issue.

Not here. We've been getting vintage Jaguars, though our last donation was a postal Jeep, two Chevy commercial vans and a Nissan truck. Local locksmith company was updating their fleet. The Jeep has some local history as it was assigned to the main post office here.

I have a 240 wagon moldering out on the lot for the last 15-20 years.

Back when I was driving buses sixteen years ago, I got posted to northern New Mexico for three months driving buses over Cumbres Pass and La Manga Pass. That was some fun-extremely steep grades on both sides and using only low gear and transmission retarders to control speed. We were based in Chama, New Mexico but one bus was always kept at Antonito, Colorado. As we were assigned buses, whom ever ended up with their bus at Antonito would drive the company Volvo back to Chama. The next morning that driver would drive to Antonito to pick up their bus and passengers. Each one way trip was a minimum hour and fifteen minutes. In fact, we were instructed that the minimum time permitted in route was an hour and fifteen minutes. That was the minimum en route time for service driven at maximum safe speed in good conditions.

We drove over the pass two or three times every day. Cumbres Pass is 10,200 feet above sea level and is the current highest railroad line in North America. La Manga Pass is where the highway goes through and is 10,400 feet above sea level. On one trip, a Safeway tractor trailer went flying by me. When I got to the bottom of the hill, I saw the Colorado Highway Patrol had him stopped and the commercial vehicle inspector was going over every inch of that truck. Then one day, there was a fatal accident on the mountain, just over the Colorado state line. The way we found out about it was from our backup driver, who was the local assistant fire chief. I was working on the bus by the depot when two New Mexico State Police cars and the ambulance from La Jara came screaming through town. I asked him what was up and he said a motorcyclist had been killed in a single vehicle accident last night. Driver lost control and went off the road. EMTs said the kickstand of the bike cut an artery and the driver bled out. Due to the low traffic on the road at night, he wasn’t found until the next day. At the start of the season, our boss made it clear to us that that highway was extremely dangerous and we had no business driving it at night.
