If anyone wants a Clownshoe, I keep seeing this guy in my town. It doesn’t look like it was the best taken care of little M, it’s filled with junk, but it apparently has a $700 window coating which is really what you buy these things for. Their window coatings.

Oh gosh do I like these. I tried to get my old man to buy one, but he chose a Mustang instead. I mean that’s good enough, but still, clownshoe.

Totally.

Oof. I love these, and this is in the best color and everything.

BUT.

What is it with BMW owners and their obsession with “only 147 of these with these floor mats!” bullshit? Sheesh.

Right? It’s like those people with their COPO Chevys who are all, “this is one of only nine 4-doors with the 3-speed and that engine and electric windows but no air conditioning built in 1973.”

I view “window coating” as a downside. How many aftermarket tints don’t look like shit after a few years? When I bought my second 300ZX it had a peeling tint. The company that removed it scratched the t-top glass a bit. Can’t win.

Damn, 24k for a ‘99? I paid 26k for my ‘01.

This one looks like it was driven pretty hard. But, the mileage wasn't bad, IIRC from the sign in the window.

“$700 window coating”

What does that even mean? Are we talking about tint? Is there some new spray on UV filter I’m unaware of?

Jonee > E92M3 08/02/2016 at 23:18

Some kind of special safety glass all around? Who knows?

Love it, but not nearly enough to justify the asking price.

8 grand. Canadian.

E92M3 > Jonee 08/03/2016 at 01:41

I think he may mean a paint sealant like Opticoat. People used to call it “glass coating” or “crystal glass coating” several years ago before the whole “nano” everything craze.

Jonee > E92M3 08/03/2016 at 01:46

Ah, yeah. You might be right.

This guy knows how to sell things. That $700 glass coating does it for me. Does he ship it to Europe for me? It is the best color for it.

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/03/2016 at 23:13

1

We should think about glass coating all the Wanke r ls. If it was $700 in 1999, who knows how much that feature’s worth now? I do love that color. He may deliver it for you. He does seem eager to sell. I can wait around for him to put money in the parking meter next time I see it. It’s always in that same spot.

Jobjoris > Jonee 08/04/2016 at 09:27

Why don’t you just buy it for our upcoming NY/Philadelphia trip! That would certainly be FP-material ;-)

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/04/2016 at 14:33

1

Well, you’re in the market for one, so I think you should wire me the 24 grand, and then you can drive it home after the trip to Philly. And, me driving it cross country will be epic. Might need multiple posts for that trip.

Very clean low-mile 2001-2002s (because S54) can fetch $60K now.

Considering they were ~$46K out the door (stripped), they’ve maintained their value relative to inflation. They’re on the verge of appreciating.

Clown Shoe Pilot > Goofnik 08/04/2016 at 21:08

I’m aware. Mine’s moderately clean and not-high mile (considering it’s 15 years old) and I could probably sell it for a price that basically means I used it for free for 8 years.

Jobjoris > Jonee 08/05/2016 at 04:05

1

Well, in the market... I’d go for the normal 3.0, das ist ein richtiges Bauern motor. The M I wouldn’t trust my driving and mileage to ;-)

Taking the Le Car would need even more posts!

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/06/2016 at 03:15

1

I’d probably destroy that engine somewhere over the Rocky Mountains anyway. You’d never get the chance. But, it would be fun up until that point I bet.

That would be a lot of posts in the Le Car. I could turn it into a novel. It could get repetitive, though. Me waiting in some dusty town for parts over and over again.

Jobjoris > Jonee 08/06/2016 at 07:20

1

The best two hours in your entire life. That’s why I need a 3.0.

Haha. What about a real life soap?

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/07/2016 at 22:50

1

Man Drives Le Car would be a good reality show. Full of adventure. I need to find a way to get some sex appeal, though. More than me, I mean.

Jobjoris > Jonee 08/08/2016 at 03:36

1

Any man in a Le Car has that appeal to women. Believe me. Now go and make a show on that!

Or just ask one of your lady-friends to join the trip, that will sell! IT WILL! It’s a great idea. See her handling French parts in the desert. Or reading the map. Epic tv.

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/09/2016 at 00:54

1

I think I should just have the lady go because that's a show I want to watch. But, it might drive me insane to participate in.

Jobjoris > Jonee 08/09/2016 at 03:47

1

Every drive over 6 hours with a lady friend next to you would drive a sane man... Insane!

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/10/2016 at 02:08

1

I have, actually. It wasn’t pretty. So, I’ll take my sanity over being a television personality.

Jobjoris > Jonee 08/10/2016 at 04:08

1

Or get a stand-in. Even call him a stuntdriver. For taking massive amounts of risk.

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/10/2016 at 22:31

1

He’ll have to be brave. I’ll have to give him hazard pay, too.

Jobjoris > Jonee 08/11/2016 at 04:52

1

Can’t we just call David Hasselhoff? He’ll need the money anyway.

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/11/2016 at 23:45

1

Yeah, that’s a good choice. Or, Caspar. He should be free, too. He divorced the princess, you know. So, she might be available.

Jobjoris > Jonee 08/12/2016 at 04:04

1

I DID NOT KNOW! The chance me coming to Glendale BEFORE you ending up in Europe just has increased by 200%!!!

What do “we” know about the divorce, anything “spicy”? You can give her some comfort while I’m out, I’m sure.

Or did she come back to Serbia?

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/14/2016 at 00:01

1

Haha. I don’t know any of the details. I’ll have to look it up. I’m sure it was in the gossip pages somewhere. A friend of mine was working at Comic-Con and saw Caspar there with a new girlfriend. I’ll have to look the princess up and see if she’s lonely, yeah. I can regale her with stories of a Dutch prince I know.

Jobjoris > Jonee 08/14/2016 at 05:38

‘Irreconcilable differences’, ‘irreconcilable differences’ everywhere! Catherine is getting older: she’s 54 now! She’ll find a new toyboy soon, no worries there.

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/15/2016 at 23:35

1

Do you remember that movie with Drew Barrymore? I don’t think it was very good, but that’s one I remember seeing on a plane back when they had projectors and screens. I bet she already has a new boytoy. Maybe that’s one of the differences that were irreconcilable. I wouldn’t be surprised if Caspar had something on the side. I wonder if he got a good divorce settlement. They probably had a prenup.

Jobjoris > Jonee 08/16/2016 at 03:35

0

Nope, never seen it. If it was on a silver screen in the pane it’s probably old and she was still a kid?

The one article I found with the “irreconcilable differences” Casper stated no one would have to pay the other one. Prenup. Time for another real life soap! I Divorced a Princess .

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/17/2016 at 01:10

1

Yeah, she was a kid trying to divorce her parents. It was cute, I guess. It was on cable all the damn time back then.

Haha. That’s a funny idea. I should pitch it to him. I would have thought he’d get something from her, but I guess he’s ok with money.

Jobjoris > Jonee 08/17/2016 at 05:17

1

Haha, seems pretty corny but that’s an idea I actually like! And did just I see Sharon Stone appear in that trailer? Love that “nobody lives happily in Pittsburgh” line from Ryan!

I’m actually surprised he didn’t come up with it himself? It’s so obvious!

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/18/2016 at 01:46

1

I’ll have to watch it again one day. Maybe it’s a forgotten classic. And, I always liked Ryan O’Neal for some reason. He wasn’t a great actor, but he’s pleasant. What’s Up Doc with him and Barbara Streisand was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. I believe that is a young Sharon Stone.

Maybe he did and the networks weren’t interested. I’d know how to sell it.

Jobjoris > Jonee 08/18/2016 at 03:32

1

I’ll never forget him for being in A Bridge too Far. Not that he was that excellent in it but it’s such a great memory to me as it all is supposed to take place in the surrounding of where I grew up. I wouldn’t remember him in any other film actually?

Maybe you should call him up and offer him to become his manager?

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/19/2016 at 01:59

1

I have strong memories of that movie, too. I remember watching it on t.v. With my parents quite vividly. It might have been the first war movie I ever saw. His most famous movie might be Paper Moon with him and Tatum. It’s a great one from the early 70's. She won an Oscar. And he’s in Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon which is not one of the better remembered Kubrick movies, but I like it.

I should. His career could use a boost.

Jobjoris > Jonee 08/19/2016 at 03:20

1

Both Paper Moon and Barry Lyndon don’t ring a bell. Must be wicked making a movie with your own daughter.

What other ideas than I divorced a Princess do you/we have? You could plug him for Dancing with the Stars ! Sorry I just started watching Don’t trust that B**** of Apartment 23 and DWTS seems to play a big part in it.

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/19/2016 at 17:50

1

Paper Moon is a really charming film. You’d like it. I feel like they had kind of a rough relationship when Tatum got older, but I bet it was a blast making that movie for them.

DWTS would be a good outlet to get his career going again, but it’ll take some work to get him on. They usually have bigger stars. I only watched a couple episodes of that Don’t Trust the B... show, but it seemed funny. I liked that that guy from Dawson’s Creek played himself.

Jobjoris > Jonee 08/20/2016 at 05:13

1

HIggins!!!! AAnd some nice drifting those pre-wars! Was it B&W or is that just the trailer?

Bigger stars means bigger costs! You can do it. He’s a pretty and athletic boy, right? Women will love ‘m! James van der Beek is great in that show. And that B**** is beyond epic! Hooking her roommate up with her... DAD!

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/22/2016 at 23:17

1

Higgie Baby is great in it. It is in B&W. It really makes it feel like the 20's.

He would be popular with the female audience and that’s what that show has mainly. I don’t know any dudes that watch it. I like that actress who plays the B****. She’s very pretty. She has her own show on Netflix now, Jessica Jones . She plays a former superhero turned private detective.

Jobjoris > Jonee 08/23/2016 at 04:26

1

Haha, I wouldn’t know a guy watching it either. Krysten Ritter? I really don’t like that hair of her, those bangs. She had that in Breaking Bad as well. How’s that Jessica Jones series? A friend of mine suggested I’d watch Mr. Robot .

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/23/2016 at 23:49

1

Oh, I think those bangs are sexy. She’s great in Jessica Jones . I really liked the show. I think Daredevil is a little better, but JJ is pretty unique. And David Tennant is terrific in it, too. Mr. Robot is excellent. You have to pay attention when you watch it, though. It’s very clever.

Jobjoris > Jonee 08/24/2016 at 05:45

1

Then why aren’t you heavy in that Don’t trust... show? I prefer her comedy skills over the ones in a drama like Breaking Bad . Doctor Who is in JJ? Awesome, I’ll check it out then.

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/25/2016 at 15:18

1

I don’t know why I haven’t watched more of that show. It’s now in the queue. I always thought she was better at comedy, too, but Jessica Jones changed my mind. Yes, Doctor Who plays the bad guy. He’s really creepy.

Jobjoris > Jonee 08/26/2016 at 06:16

1

It’s on the list now. Not sure if I can make the switch that easily from laughing about her to taking her seriously. Love her co-host as well. And James. And that Eric André character.

Jonee > Jobjoris 08/28/2016 at 23:21

1

I’ll try and watch it again. I'm picky when it comes to sitcoms, but I won't mind looking at her for half an hour. She does a good job toning down the sexiness as Jessica.
