    This thread is the reason why I'd rather drive a car into the ground, than sell off something I've become attached to and watch it get destroyed by the new owner.
    If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

      Meh. Consider it like an ex-girlfriend..

      You had your fun with it, but eventually it's going to get worn out and look it's age. Better to just let that happen under someone else's watch!

            Ugh, that sucks.

            I sold my e30 vert in November. I only had it a year but I still kinda wonder how the new owner is treating it. Would it be weird if I texted her to ask about it? lol

              she'll think you're a weirdo, lol.

              I sold it to a high schooler and was expecting some dent, but not a butt raped like this. I'm very carious to how it happened. It is nearly impossible to get butt raped by a pole unless you're driving in reverse at 50 mph.

                          My new bike was supposed to be a replacement for the e30 (as it's slated for sale in spring). After riding it once and hearing the exhaust in tunnels/garages, I'm having feelings for it that I never had for an e30.

                          If/when the e30 goes, I've go the go-ahead from the old lady for a post '11 'stang for a newer dd :nice:
                          If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

                              If it makes you feel any better, your old dash and center console are now resting in my e30. Kid said he was driving to fast in the rain and spun: hitting a tree. Didn't seem to care much either. He actually left half way through while we were taking out the center console.

                                good to know its going to you guys and not some idiot who is going to destroy it. BTW, the diff cover has powerflex bushing, rear subframe has akg bushing, and new lemforder trailer arm bushing, if anyone is interested. The steering rack was recently replaced when I bought the car two years ago, so if you need a good non leak rack, grab it. Did he sold the BC coilovers already?
