Yes It's Real: You Can Buy This BMW i8 For The Price Of A Chevy Spark!
Yes It's Real: You Can Buy This BMW i8 For The Price Of A Chevy Spark!-February 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:40

While you’ve all been wasting your money on lame efficiency cars, I’ve been biding my time for the deal of the century on the ultimate ass-hauling EV: This 2014 BMW i8 some sucker is hocking for just $13,000!

A reader sent us from Nashville’s Craigslist, and the seller’s listed an entire handful of parts they deem “good.” If that doesn’t scream “no-brainer” you better stop listening to your wife and watch Road House again. That should sand down your brain cells enough to get on my level for once.

BMW i8s are so hot right now you’d be nuts to pass this up. So hot. Heck, just days ago this one literally immolated itself wherever it landed after what must have been one crazy-hot crash.

Somebody hurry up and call or text Julian if you’re tough enough to take on what could possibly be the worst restoration project of all time and be the biggest BMW-community hero since Bill Caswell.

*Only one minor catch, it will come with a salvage title.

Happy wrenching!

I Just Bought a Low-Mileage Jeep Cherokee for $500 and It Is the Ultimate Winter Beater
Today I purchased a 106,000 mile 2000 for only $500, finally fulfilling my need for a “sensible” winter beater. But this thing is more than just sensible, it is the perfect winter vehicle for me. Here’s why. Back in May, I wrote an article titled “.” It was a...

Here's What's Wrong With My $500 Low-Mileage Jeep Cherokee
Earlier this week, I purchased a gorgeous with only 106,000 miles on the clock for $500. It was a smokin’ deal, but not quite as smokin’ as some of you might have initially thought, since this Jeep has some significant issues, which I will now enumerate. We’ll jump right...

Detailing a Formula One Car Sounds Terrifying
Detailing a Formula One Car Sounds Terrifying
If I were to rank the amount of effort I put into cleaning my car, I’d probably fall somewhere in the middle. On one extreme end, there are people (see also: crazies) who never wash their cars. And on the other, there are obsessives like Larry Kosilla of He’s...

My Beloved 'Project Swiss Cheese' Died to Give Life to This Two-Door 1995 Jeep Cherokee
Back in May, I —a $600 rustbucket that just three years prior had heroically —for $500 to a young man with an ailing XJ. That young man stopped by last week to show me the machine that ’s organs saved, and I must say, it is beautiful. Its a...

Here's Why You Don't Open a Radiator Cap When It's Boiling Hot
If you thought this was painfully obvious, well, you would be extremely right, as one guy quickly found out with a BMW E36. The gif above shows the action but you really want to get this with the sound. Facebook won’t let the video embed, so to watch it...

Building a Skid Plate Is Surprisingly a Ton of Work
Building a Skid Plate Is Surprisingly a Ton of Work
I thought mounting underbody protection to my would be mostly quick and easy. Well, that was a dumb thought! To run a rally is to intentionally beat the hell out of your car. You run on rough roads, with ruts and jumps to bottom out on, and you run...
