I want to buy some fun motors and stash em… current ones I really want are a VR6 (12v) and a SHO Yamaha V6… then I just need a 914 🤣

Did you guys know that Hemmings has auctions too?

Didn't know, but auctions are the fun way to buy right now, or so it seems.

This year so far I've bought an 01 330i, an 03 Ranger, a 99 SVT Contour, a 16 Colorado, a 10 Ranger, an 01 325ci, and just today an 89 Grumman side console. All of those were from the local mostly charity auction. Total spend just over 11k including transport to my driveway, and not including the 2.5k or so in parts purchased to fix problems the vehicles.

The polestars are ok looking for electric cars, compared with telsa motors cars which are pathologically bland, as if designed by committee and focus group to be inoffensive.

I just think Volvo did such a good job with the whole SPA lineup, especially the V60/V90, Wish that stuck around a little longer, and had a real ICE "Polestar" version or something. The PHEV "Polestar Engineered" stuff is cool/tempting, but the ICE front / Electric Rear powertrain seems like a control systems nightmare, and I don't think the performance figures fit the quoted 455hp/500ftlb. I also want nothing to do with a hybrid system out of warranty.

That said, I guess the Polestar 1 was very SPA-like, but I guess they've just evolved from there.

Would still love to someday pick up a well optioned non-hybrid V60 or V90 and fire a JB4 and a few mods on it, because I like my XC90 a lot for hauling family and highway use - I just wish it was a wagon.
