Cross-country eta trip: made it this far...

[southsails]

[Now in Effingham, IL]

Picking up the eta in about 3 hours. Signed up for an AOL account, and am hoping to post photos of the in progress solo cross country trip. And/or if my eta is for sale somewhere in the west at firesale prices.

I've had some thoughts on the roof of the car (worst part of the paint) and am thinking I'll get my brother to paint it gloss white... prep for the future weekend racer that this car will eventually be.

Photos coming soon!

Oh dude, you got it. it is a damn eta! as long as it doesnt overheat, and has at least a half quart of oil, you will easily make it.

bouncing off the r3vlimiter everyday and the car still kicks.

Don't sweat it. It is a eta.. Mine is just becoming a adolescent at 180k miles..

Good gas milelage FTW. Good luck. Solo huh? I hope the radio works;)

I know this puppy, w/ 100k, has barely popped its cherry... but I don't want to jinx myself before I'm out the door.

Going from Pittsburgh gray to SoCal shine is freakin AWESOME. More sunlight to come in the next few days.

EDIT: Original BMW radio works, and I've got the iPod loaded w/ about 8 mixes and 60g of music.

very nice.....make sure you stop in all the major cities and take pictures of your car with other e30s

[euroshark]

If you stop in Denver we can take some pictures together

lol

But my E30 is still hibernating.

[southsails]

Though the opportunity for our cars to meet would be a lil sentimental, I flew in through Denver, and it looked like alotta snow... I am sticking south.

First stop:

Awesome, keep us updated.

[Jesse30]

[southsails]

About another hour.

If you bring enough good pictures back, I will be glad to assist you in making it into a scrapbook that can reside in the "media" part of this site. I could make it into a PDF or some sort of format that is readable to everyone.

Shucks.. if you can get a pic of you with the popo, with his car behind your car and the lights flashing, you would be THE MAN. And if you get a speeding ticket and you take a pic of the popo handing you a ticket you would REALLY be the man!
