I really hate my user name now. I just needed something and didnt want to use my actual name like i did on bimmerforums.
i've had 3 e30's. an 86 eta, an 86 ES, and a 91 318is.
lets see.... 20yrs old. a 14 year old kid convinced me to get an e30. learned to drive stick on it. I used to drive like a maniac but i've calmed down and matured a lot.

my first car was bought for 1k in trenton. talk about a trip. when we went there (i had my girlfriend's parents drive me and her) we almost ran out of gas being lost (OBC in the van said 0.0miles remaining)

thats what happens when you have no ABS and have to come to a dead stop with a wet ground. i wasnt speeding.

my second e30 i got up in MA. It was me and my two buddies driving all the way up there in a BAD snow storm in a chevy corsica. Bought the car without ever seeing it (which i regret) and got wasted in the hotel room. Woke up with only less then 5 hours of sleep, hung over, changed all four of the tires myself (had to bring snow tires because his tires were bald) in the parking lot with 6 inches of slush on the ground. We drove home in i believe 3 hours exactly. its almost a 5 hour trip. not sure how we managed that since we did speed a bit but not excessively (100+ whole way or something like that)

that is what happens when some idiot runs a sign and hits you (it was a merge. he had to stop. he didn't.)
right before that accident i got clocked going 109 in a 65 on my way to the distinctive image bmw meet in Trenton. lost my license for 15 days.
i got 2000 from that and bought this.(for 1500)

its a 91 318is bought from a fellow member here. its a lot nicer then my other two. it does have its problems but they're not that major. It has 273k miles. which i like since it keeps me from beating on it. (I actually want to keep this for a long time) but it runs amazingly.
so this is me

im addicted to BMW's
I really wish people around me would actually go cruising and meet up with other car nuts.
when i own an e30 m3 ill be content in life.

nice looking black E30 - maybe you'll have better luck with a black E30, since your previous reds were not so lucky... :)
if you don't like your current user name, just contact a Mod on here and have them change it out to one you prefer...

Ya i trashed my first E30 too.. thats why everyone gets a car they can trash for there first car. I wrecked and fixed my M20 to the point of it looking almost new.. decided it wasnt good enough anymore and thats why i ended up with an M42
