    9 months and I am still in love

    This coming week will make 9 months since I got my E30. I love it even more now than before. I was at the store yesterday and as I was paying the cashier I caught a glimpse of her through a window. My heart skipped a beat (drama, yes). Even better still is the straight six going up through the gears or just cruising at 2500rpm. Waaay better than that is hitting my fav corner at speed... I hope this feeling never wears off.

    Ha ha ha, that's how I am with my car.

    I'm surprised I still haven't broken my neck, because every time I get out of it to go inside somewhere, I'm looking back at it for most of the time I'm walking.

    I seriously will be walking through my house, and if I pass by the door into the garage, I'll stop and look out into the garage at it. :D

      I agree, honestly my favorite part is looking at my car when it's nice and clean, in a nice spot. I don't care if it's slow, I drive slow anyways.

        Have you guys tried the new PAI (penetrable air intake) kit?

        Almost as good as smooth rounded exhaust tips!

          Why do you think I only went with 2.25" exhaust tips instead of going bigger?

                      I like doing that when i'm next to a polished tanker truck. Or driving through town and seeing the reflection in the glass off of buildings.

                        Dude, I do the same - my wife sometimes wonders if I am looking back to check out some chick in the parking lot

                        Yeah, sometimes the angle of the front wheels and the slope of the surface she's parked on are perfect. I wish I was a pro photographer so I could capture those 'moments'.

                        Hmmm. I don't do that, but now that you mention it I'll start

                        I like being behind those things. It's like a fish eye and you can see all the other cars around you.

                              i live next to this building with a complete glass wall (EA games for those of you who live in la) and every time I come home I find myself staring at the reflection for the stretch of 500ft...pathetic that i almost got in an accident doing it!

                              Similar to eyeballing a really awkwardly huge/obese person...how can you not stare
