If you were arrested for being a good mechanic, would there be enough evidence to convict you?

I only know of two that i see on a regular basis. There is a nice late model red one that is always parked outside the gold gym on college street. The other one is black, bumperless and considerably less nice. Looks like they almost melted the metal where the bumpers used to be to try and get a smooth flat looking face....dunno what they really did but it still makes me sad.
Overall i'd have to agree, there is slim pickins out here.Comment

I know they exist, i have seen a blue vert around here.sigpic

I think I have have seen that blue vert just the other day... But yeah, I don't think I've ever seen an E30-46 in a junkyard, ever. Which will make for some slim pickings when I finally plunk down on an E30 haha... Thankfully they're a bit more plentiful in central MO where I'm going to college.
I mostly made this thread because one of my neighbors has a 318 that I've only seen outside a few times... I was hoping to draw him out and see if he's a r3ver haha.If you were arrested for being a good mechanic, would there be enough evidence to convict you?

haha well since I'm not an owner, I'd feel like a bit of an interloper... it'd be cool to see some cars that are a bit more local than the normal PA, FL and CA builds though!If you were arrested for being a good mechanic, would there be enough evidence to convict you?

People are friendlier in the mid-west, so a lot less assholes to deal with. Stores where 5 mins away and still lived in a neighborhood with privacy. Unlike living in the country. You have your privacy but closest store is 20 mins away. The flatness was great for gas mileage. Downsides are miles of corn and beans then come harvest time, allergies went haywire!
I do love it back here in the tristate, but its just at times like I said that the mid west is missed.
