Yeah, just because they don't have software problems...I see your point there.

But, seriously....it's whatever floats your boat.

I was just stating from my experiences from driving "nice" e30s (very clean and good condition, not to mention LOW mileage)....to horrible, trashy...who gives this is an "old car" e30s.

AND....on a side note. (sorry)

What is FTW? I've been seeing it lately...like the past 3 days.

Let me guess? For The Win? Win what? I don't get it?

e30 is a great car... but i cant get myself to buy a 15+ year old car anymore... but mad props to them for still running/racing/modding strong, great cars they are!

Toyota or Honda. You're done.

E30 as a second car? That's the worst idea I've ever heard.

FTW= for the win

Does it have to be a car? I would love to have a 2001 Cherokee Sport. 4.0L straight six, manual. Screw that wrangler (no trunk) or grand cherokee bullshit (too flashy for my needs) Love the look of the orignial cherokee, rugged and can take a real beating. You can find them out there for around $12k now.. or less. Plus, being in Kansas (if you get snow in your area) that four wheel drive would come in handy.

Bud, I went on a cross country trip with one of those things putting on 10,000 miles in less than 30 days. It was a blast and it handled very well while hauling 4 men and a ton of shit for camping. I posted before about it, speeding near death valley....

BTW, you could mod out the exhuast, a 4.0L six with dual exhuasts and possibly a flowmaster would sound sick! Then get a snorkle, just incase..

Damnit, I want one now...

**doughboyea** · 03-03-2006, 08:28 PM

K, I tried, but it's cool. Since were on that topic.... What about an old Tahoe? 2-door. They're beasts.

i found out yesterday that i need more room then a 3-series coupe can offer. and besides, i like my leg room. anyway... i was atualy looking at an old 635CSI. how muh room do those things have? i dont know crap about the 6-series. (it has to be a two door, unless its an M5. wich isnt going to happen) and im not going to stay with the thunderbird as long as i thought i could, so its going ot have to be around 3-5,000.
