    M30 durability video

    This is the kind of thing Dave Barry talks about in "Dave Barry's Guide to Guys." M30 engine runs for over 8 minutes with no coolant:

    "If the sky were to fall tomorrow, the tall would die first."

    -Dr. Paul Forrester



    Do I LOOK like I need a psychological evaluation???

    Poor engine :( but very very impressive.

    Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

      Aside from showing yourself to be offensive, lacking experience and ignorant in the ways of business, you're also illiterate and imprudent. Beyond that, your sense of liability is severely impaired.

          Is that motor for sale? I'll throw it into an e30 and get another 200k out of it.

          M30's rock. That was awesome. I only wish they replaced the oil with sand. I bet it would still be running. What a motor.

          Joe, where is your m10 video?

                All I've got to say is, they don't make things the way they used to.
