      That car will always remain in the "before" phase...
      On second thought, I guess that makes it the "after" phase.

        it may be 'totalled' in an insurance companies mind, but in my own it is not.

        and he didnt point out to what extent the car has been restored, just the fact that it has been restored, and it has been.

          There is a mathematical formula behind "totalled". It is not open for interpretation. Your car was totalled; you're now able to have a "rebuilt vehicle", but never a un-totalled car.

            i drive it everyday, being totalled or not does not have anything to do with the experience you feel behind the wheel.

              Man, I can't wait til you drive a nice, straight, modded E30. You are going to feel like such a tool for being in love with your junkyard E30.

                One word: Aerodynamics.

                Experience that.

                  i feel the opposite of aerodynamics.

                  but the drag coeffiicient on an e30 isnt that low to begin with. my friends saturn has less of a drag coefficient than any e30.

                  and do you really feel aerodynamics going through turns? isnt the effects of positive aerodynamics something that kicks in at speeds of much higher than 50 mph? because rarely do i use the freeway. and even when i do my car isnt all over the road. it rides smoothly and steady, just like an car with properly balanced and aligned tires should.

                    How would I know how you drive your car. Sounds like you're a twisty maniac. You probably have the only e30 on this board that would get worked by my heavy ass clk in the twisties!

                    But really...your framezzzzz.

                      i do drive a little different. have gotten better. but not perfect. or anywhere near it.

                      yeah it be brokenz. but i got the car for 50 dollars. so i really could care less. as soon as some poor pathetic soul buys my 02 SE-R i will be putting that money into a new late model 325i or is. and this car will turn another page in its history.

                          Make sure you hang onto your dildo even when you get rid of the eta for a late model.
