[freeride53]

[Farbin Kaiber]

I always thought he was a car guy for no reason other than intuition.

Looks like he is a Datsun guy. Nice Lambo and DB9 in his collection too.

He was selling the exact same Borbets Adam had on his E30 M3, but I'd still like to see some pics :p

I was a huge Carolla fan and have seen him many times at the Improv but after I saw his presentation of his E30 M3 I haven't listened to a word he's said up until this video. I can't even get into his regular podcast anymore which bums myself out.

Car spent 6 months at Don Fields shop getting sorted.
Didnt find video until AFTER I bought car. I thought by him being a "car guy" car would have been in great condition.

That's really cool. I love Adam. He has this really great story about how his m3(e36 at the time - it was new IIRC) was parked outside of some bar in Hollywood. A tow truck tries to tow it. He goes out and he's already go his rear wheels a foot in the air. He offers the the guy a bribe, the guy says no. So Adam, say "fuck you - we'll do it my way", and got in his car and drove off the wheel lift. He said it messed up the spare tire well - he hit it on the way down, and it broke the fall - leaving a big dent into the spare wire well, when he got home, he took the spare out, stomped the dent back out - and it pop'ed right back. What a great story.

He also have a really good podcast - he interviews guys like Mike Rowe - if you can stand his voice for more than 10 mins - some of it's worth it. Oh, and he does some amateur racing as well.




I'd really like to hear a laundry list of things he didn't do on the car. If I ever run into him, I'm going to give him grief for it. ;)

Tell us - what was needed?
