        Technically "yes"... but the suspension is so fucked that my car gets thrown into oncoming traffic when I hit the slightest of bumps. I feel like Richard Hammond in the Bolivia special when he's driving on the really dangerous road and he's fighting the steering wheel.

              I'm currently running lean as fuck. All of my hoses are busted and my fan clutch is broken. Failed my smog test miserably.

                My winter e30 yes. just drove back to my house

                the summer e30 had to get pushed into storage. Not sure what is wrong, but the day I took it off the road it would not start; crank but no fire. Come spring time i get to look into that.

                      I guess so, but it's in storage for the winter.

                          yeah, but its not going to be driven until mid january... and hopefully I can redo the under-dash harness before then.

                            Sure! Although its garaged for the winter. Euro smileys are removed for polishing of the lenses. So if I did want to drive it there would be no night driving till I get my headlights back.

                              First I laughed at this thread

                              Then I realized I drained the fluid out of the diff and my little pump broke, so I can't fill it back up. So no, it ain't running :(

                              My race car is driveable, but no plates.
