9 months and I am still in love

[Axxe]

I played with DTM hot wheels when I was a kid, always loved the look of them, and my Dad was into them two, buying all the EC mags.

agree mark, the e30 rocks. just got mine back from the shop with 4.10 lsd, new subframe bushings & rtabs. she feels perfect, the 4.10 is really throwing the power down to the road. i'm going to take her to the track tommorrow, now that's what i call an awesome start to the week :)

I can't remember who posted this, I think it was Mr. Anderson, it went something like "if you don't look back at your car when you are walking away from it, you are driving the wrong car". I've been thinking about that statement and it is very true. Someone else (I can't remember who said this either) told me that the cars you really like are the ones that were in production when you were a teenager. I was a teenager in the late 80's, so this statement holds true for me, but it what about all of you youngsters that were tots when the E30 had hit it's sales stride? The only answer is that the E30 is a classic and will endure. It's perfect. I can't think of one design element that I would change.

Also, the only other 80's car that I love are the Ferrari GTO and F40. Everything else sucked.

I had a moment yesterday. Walked out my back door to throw something in the garbage can and saw the MG sitting there in the drive way. Just makes you feel all tingly inside. ;)

Yep, I do it,too. Good cars do that to their owners.

I guess that's what separates certain cars from "appliance" cars (like a Hyundai Sonata, LOL!),

I'm glad I'm not the only one doing this. You guys ever get comments from other drivers/pedestrians? I had a guy stop in the middle of the street and talk to me about it- and this was before I redid the suspension, and my car's not really that nice. I drive a 'vert, so it's a bit easier, but still...

I like watching my car in windows. It makes it look cool :)

[speedhop]

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

[ldsbeaker]

its dangerous when i drive in traffic kuz i catch myself staring at my cars relfection in the paint on the car next to me.........

I just did this for the first time with 2 black SUV's yesterday. PIMP!

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.

Same feeling here mark. Nothing like that inline 6 power:crazy:

I knew you guys would understand :D

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. :grin:

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

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.

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 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.

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