:( sad to say

I will have to sign off my car (or how do you call it in english, when you go to the vehicle administration and give them your license plates or w/e because you won't use your car for a longer time).
Because insurance, taxes and fuel is way too expensive for me at the moment, I will have to leave my loyal bimmer in the garage.
It's also because I don't want to drive it on salted roads (it's basically rust-free), and I don't want to drive a 170-hp car with RWD in heavy snow. Also I can't really afford winter tires. So that's why I have to leave it in the garage for some months, probably until March.
Maybe I can drive my mom's merc A200 whenever she doesn't need it... which is like never. If I had learned to drive stick-shift b4 winter, I could dirve my dad's Volvo, but since I've been too lazy to do so, that's prolly not an option.

It has an upside: I can finally do the engine swap to a 2.7 engine... and build in a new, "sharp" camshaft... I'll try to get 220 hp out of the engine. Yeah, it IS possible. Without a turbo.

Anyways, I hope I can keep the car on the road for a week or so, but after that it'll be over.

Jeez, I almost miss it already. Yesterday I drove an hour just for fun.
