the e30 curse

[Vivek]

Mine's been good, but I'm always careful not to push the limits of my abilities, even when driving with others that seem to be long gone. Hopefully I can keep this up, but we all make mistakes.

The true e30 curse is not being able to control the constant dumping of money into the dirty30.

I'm on my 4th e30 and have yet to crash any. However in my first car ( 240sx ) I was hit almost head on.

I only owned my first e30 for 1 1/2 years, but in that time I drove it back and forth across the US almost 4 times

it didn't make it all the way home the last time :(

If you're curious ... e30 @ 55mph vs Tundra at a stop.... no one wins

The true e30 curse is not being able to control the constant dumping of money into the dirty30.

This is why I have limited myself, nice wheels, decent drop, and fix whatever breaks with parts from my local Crazy Ray's.

Problem solved.

I have owned 4 e30's in the last 13 years and crashed none of them and 2 are track cars. And 1 of them i have owned for 11 out of the 13 years and no accidents.;)

Totaled my first e30...due to inexperience since I was only 18. I'm in my 3rd e30 now and plan on keeping this one for a while.

Yea the curse has definitely affected me.. My first e30, a 2dr 325ix was totalled,
and just the other day my current car was in a fender bender, both incidents were not my fault!

[5Toes]

I wrecked mine.. fixed just fine though

I still have my first e30....But it has underwent a motor change due to me cracking mine jb welding it while I was waiting for my new oil pan to come in...I decided to max my car out on the freeway for some dumb ass reason and at right about 115 I heard a "poof" I put it in neutral and had it towed to a mechanic...they opened the head and 2 of my spark plugs were chopped cleanly in half. He told me my oil pump failed. The funny thing is I was so pissed and the mechanic knew my car was soo clean on the outside and inside he offered to buy it off me for some BS price right after he told me I would need a new engine. I wanted to sell it or scrap it or something. I talked about it with my dad and he sort of talked me out of it but I really loved my car still and couldn't bear to separate with my first car/e30 so knowing what I know now being on r3vd for a little bit I couldve bought a clean stroker motor or something for cheap and have someone throw it in for me...instead I got one off bav recycling( I was dicked by them btw but I didn't know any better) and 3k later my car is running again....this was a few years back and I'm still not happy with the engine I got from them because it uses oil and my original never did(sorry off topic) But yeah that's the story of my car.
