    Are E30 guys just....cool?

    I just wanted to express my gratitude for my 'local' e30 community around the SF Bay Area/ South Bay. Every time I've met for a parts sale I feel almost as if I have made a fri3nd (3 there on purpose). Super cool dudes (no ladies yet) and I've had great talks with fellow enthusiasts. Every meet has become an hour long hangout with fellow enthusiasts.

    The e30 community and culture is definitely alive around here, and it's been fantastic. I know I'll spoil my streak, but I've had 5 recent great experiences that I've walked away from with a renewed enjoyment to be part of it.

    I was tentatively invited with a group that caravans to the e30 picnic, but I genuinely don't think my car will be ready in time next year. I want to do it at least once for sure. That's my yap for today.

    E30 people are solid, but as soon as you hear someone talking about rarity or something being 1/xxxxxxx, just ignore them, they're probably Porsche guys without enough money.

      A Porsche meet is a bunch of dudes who meet up and see who can beat off the hardest in a mirror

        Let's be fair, they prefer to see themselves in their buddies mirrored shades.

        You know, the eye contact is key so they can stare down their competition while also looking deeply in to their own eyes.

                Or an old school American car guy - those guys are as bad as the Porsche guys. This is 1 of 453 2003 base model automatic corvettes with red exterior and red interiors!

                  I too have had excellent encounters with E30 people. Similar to the 80/90's Porsche crowed I knew. I had Porsches in the 80's,90's and early 2000's when they were 10 grand. I guess I am one of those Porsche guys with no money. That crowed talked crap about the Ferrari people. I am here because the E30 is built to the quality of my old 911SC and its not 20 grand for a basic motor overhaul. Things always change. The Tesla people, now there is a group to complain about.

                              I am also uncool. However, If any of you fags ever broke down in my town on your way to a Zion cruise, I would pick you up and help you fix your shit.



                              But only R3V members. If you are a broccoli head and you joined the FB group in 2022 I'll probably call you gay. Then I'll still help you.
