Reader’s Choice
We recently wrote about our dream cars under $5,000, and asked our readers to do the same. Here are some of the responses.
Choice: 2004 BMW 330ci
Reason: “It’s an over-engineered German car, it’s a convertible, it’s very clean and comfortable and I almost bought one in 2003, but they were $6000 more than I could afford at the time.” — John D.
Choice: 1987 Dodge Daytona Turbo or 1990 Dodge Daytona ES with 3.0L V6 and 4 speed Ultra-drive Transaxle.
Reason: My 1st new car was the Daytona Turbo with a 2.2L Turbo-charged engine and the ES model had the 4th/overdrive gear that the other car needed for highway driving.” — James P.
Cold Brew Competition
Coffee soda exists, and it’s coming for your cold brew this summer.
