    appreciate what you got

    Mainly your e30. It's been a week without mine, and it's killing me. Aside not having transportation anywhere, I miss driving a real car. I've borrowed the bonneville and the explorer for some errands, two of the most numb cars on the planet, and it sucks.

    So have fun driving to school or work tommorow, because I sure as hell won't.

      holy crap i know how u feel..i've been driving my dads tundra for about a month AND I HATE IT. the only thing that it's good for is drinking gas as high priced as it is now and driving up/over/down curbs and parking stops when I'm to lazy to go around.

        can totally understand. Thats why I put my truck away every winter, and get an E30. Can only do a few months of big, slow driving.

          I drive a Buick LeSabre Custom for months at a time while the E30 is happily 200 miles away, but it's for the best. The sound system in the Buick is the only redeeming part of the entire car... unless you enjoy driving boats. Old people boats.

          You can't complain.

              Sometimes I have to drive the Galant to work and I cry inside. Right now I've got it made. Tara drives the Galant and she's happy because she thinks it the "good" car. heheheh.

                  I try to drive it for at least 30 minutes every 2 weeks. Primarily because the electrics will drain the battery and the fuel will go bad if I dont.
                  Im now E30less.

                    yeah I know man, I didn't drive mine for like 2 weeks when the crank sensor and fuel pump went out a few weeks ago. BUT the good thing is when you get back in you really notice the work you have done to the car that you forget about kinda. Like a ssk, clutch stop, just the nice tight feel of the car.

                      I go crazy if I don't drive my car at least once a day. putting it down for a week doing motor/tranny swap is going to be hard. :(

                          damn, and here i was last night, getting bored with it compared to everyone else's newer, faster cars. Thanks for putting it back in perspective.

                          i'm going to put in the lsd today, that should cure me for a while ;)

                            My E30 has been in the shop for over a month for suspension and electrical problems. For now i am driving a 2000 Honda prelude, pretty fun to beat on but lacks the rawness of the E30.

                              I had a 99 Prelude a few years ago. It was a great car and the VTEC was fun. It was also really boring. I never got into it and I have never regretted selling it to buy a 20 year old E30. It’s much more interesting and very fun to drive.
