Owning a modded E30 at 43...

[markseven]

I'm 41.75. Love this thread. I'll have to remember that "What? Do I owe you money?" thing. :giggle:
I'm sure nobody knows what to think when they see my car in it's current state. Mismatched fenders, black wheels, lowered to the ground, noisy exhaust, bad clearcoat and giant numbers on the doors. And a supposedly mature adult behind the wheel with thinning hair. :loco: I know the neighbors think I'm nuts, but they are used to the parade of projects in/out of my garage.
Kids will dig it. Adults will hate it. I don't give a hoot what some 20 year old bimbo with painted nails thinks. I doubt banging her would be as much fun as taking the first lap of a Spec E30 race. Sure wouldn't last as long. :nice:

My brother-in-law thinks I'm completely nuts and does not understand or like the car, which is prolly a good indicator that I did the right thing :p

BTW, you have any pics posted of your race car?

I'm 36, so I can relate to you, Luke. I come home from work, eat dinner and then split with the 325 just to go drive... can't say I would do that with an E60, E63, E85 or E90. Who cares what the 'adults' think as long as you are not wasting time driving something that has no soul...

"Fuck, Blunt is 51...I feel young again! What spring rates ya runnin?"

im constantly told i dont look a day over 50
i run j stocks. the same set up the tender bobby cooper couldnt hack unless he was on roads like slate

Man, I have a picture of you that I'm soooo tempted to post.

Like the new sig?

Personally, if i saw an older gentleman step out of a modded e30, i would start up a conversation with him, absorb all his wisdom, then give him mad props as well as the R3V url. e30 for life.

Well, think of this way. When your car was new, you were only 24. :D

thats a damn good point

You know, that is a DAMN good point. I hated the stuck up pricks that wore Oakleys and drove BMW's...now that is exactly what I do.

SHIT! I hate ME!

Nah...these are sweet old cars. Just love it. Not for the sake of " I drive a BMW", but for the fun, quick, cute (cheap) little thing that it is.

Fuck, you guys are great...thanks. I needed the laugh.

Mariano, just so you know, we be talking about a disk from 2003...not that old!

Well Etta James has been making hits since the early 60's, while she was on H, then cleaned up and made music with BB King, Mick Taylor, etc in the 80's and beyond. Shes a staple to us oldie-loving gangsters like Tammi Terrell, and Mary Wells. :)
