    with 4 snows I've never been stuck in winter and I dd'd e30's from ages 19-25.

    I have an e36 m3 sedan now and I really like it, it's comfortable and luxurious. everything I had in my other e30's (s5x and 5 lug) but I didn't have to do anything but maintain it. doing a swap is a pain in the ass. esp when it's all available together in a more comfy package

    that being said, I own a small business: alternative energy auto dealer (hybrids, clean diesel, cng). Hoping to add a retail shop and grow. I've just been dd'ing priuses spending $30 to fill a tank that gets me 400-450 miles at 50mpg

    if my business takes off, I'd like to just continue dd'ing priuses and maybe sell my e36 m3 into an e30m3, or even keep my e36 (it's so fucking comfy) and work towards an e30m3. I prefer the look and feel of e30's, but for a dd I like something a bit more comfy plus the suspension is a step up. If I can keep riding Priuses I want a f'ing e30 m3!

    edit: while writing this I spilled a martini on my computer. it took it like a champ

        I enjoy driving my E30 daily in the summer time. How ever as noted in the post above I to an kinda getting sick of fixing stuff.
        This time its the shocks. They all need rebuilt cause driving on them day to day puts some wear and tear on them. Darn high end shocks

          once per week for groceries and for auditions which are about once a week as well.
          Usually gets about 6,000 kms per year

          I have a 125cc Vino I use for 'bootin around town since gas is super cheap for it.
          If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

            I did until this year, getting too temperamental to rely on anymore. I put 800km on it last weekend and it was just fine until the fuel pump handed in its resignation during an evening trip to the middle of nowhere. It's nice to have the car towed back and just drive my Subaru until I had time to fix it.

                I daily my pile, I'm not sure what I would do with myself if I didn't have to fix minor things here and there all the time. I would probably have to get a hobby or something

                                I'm approaching the 170k mark.. Had the car for 6 years now, bought it with 121k. 8-9k miles a year averaged out, but the car was down for 1.5 years (2007-2008) while I replaced everything with "better" performance parts, some which I regret doing to a DD. Since then, it sees a full bar of boost every single breathing day.
