    You can't complain.
    Well, the seats and suspension make comfortable roads and switching the dash to read in Metric is pretty much the sweetest ever - we were on 400 doing what 70?

    Both of your cars get better mileage than everything except the Cavalier in my family. I really miss appreciating my Dakota before we sold it.

      I had my car stored in my garage for the winter, and was driving my 89 bonneville SSE. Its such a marshmallow. but i got used to driving it, and i forgot how well the E30 handles. Now yesterday i drove the E30 for the first time and the thing felt like a go kart. Its amazing how well an 18 year old car drives!

        Im starting college this fall at Drexel. If you dont know its in the middle of Philly and that means parking is at a premium. $1200 a year to be exact (if i want an official spot on campus). So im pretty much shit outta luck if i wanna take the e30 with me. All this talk has got me worried, but I think constant flow of girls and parties may offset my loss... a little:up:

            Instead of selling your car you do a swap... I like your style.

            College has been hell on my car. I wish I could rewind 3 years and just left it at home in the garage.

              I miss my car, I wish I was at home driving it but OSU doesn't allow freshman to have cars so I don't have it for 3 1/2 months 3 times a year, well until next year

                I've got mine back now, it's great. Too bad she's being being fickle again and giving me an electrical gremilin. I'll conquer her yet, and god damn it she's not going back to the shop.

                    Really? Why, because of limited parking? That's messed up, man.

                      I actually hit 100 today coming back... in MPH. I hate Buicks.

                        I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. Between travel and a decent back-up ride (2004 S2000), being without my e30 isn't awful.

                        Still, I wanna get the front suspension put back together and see how the new LCAs clean up the suspension. It's been about a week since I've driven her....

                              When did this happen? They let Freshman have cars back in '98, and as far as I remember, up until at least 2004.

                                We were allowed to have cars my freshman year in '02, they had to be on West Campus though. It made for a long time to get to the grocery store.

                                I haven't had my m3 since Wednesday, and after this week I will never have it again. My buddy and I traded cars so he can see if my car fits his job requirements, so I've had a Wrangler for the past week. Let me tell you, it was hell driving up to Cleveland to look at a 325i last friday! Rainy, windy, and the Jeep isn't aerodynamic by any means. All should be better after friday, I'll be making my e30 debut sometime in the early afternoon, and immediately driving it 300 mi. to the other end of Ohio.

                                My other car I haven't been able to drive since August :( Damn shot bearings!
