I think it’s better to run an old car until it dies rather than buy a new car, environmentally speaking. The Old car isn’t going to create any more pollution than its exhaust smoke because it’s already there but the new car will create extra pollution in the manufacturing process.
Here’s one of mine. Sadly it’s the only picture I have. I had a lot of pictures on photobucket and they deleted my account without telling me.
Wasn’t the best example, was very rough underneath but it performed well. M3s were very cheap a few years ago so a lot of them got bought up for drifting, staging etc. and it’s hard to find a good one. The Evo Individual I had was perfect in every way. I sold it to buy a UR Quattro and the Quattro deal fell through so I wish I had kept it.
Don’t use grease or oil, this will attract dirt and you’ll get a black heavy chain.
Use dry ptfe instead, you can get it at ACE.
Put the bike upside down, or hang it. Spray it on the chain and all moving parts, swing a few times the peddle, take an old cloth, spray it again on the chain and swing a few time the peddle while you’re grasping the chain with the cloth. This will clean the chain.

Most stupid car I ever owned was a 2001 GCC specs. Jeep Cherokee 150k kms on the clock, well maintained and taken care and loved to death by a British expat lady since new.
I sold it the first chance I had after 3 -6 months of owning it,Can't even remember how long I owned it since I'm trying to erase that part of my life. And was probably the only car I was happy to see go.
