You know you are an E30 owner when......

[jeffnhiscars]

When you look out the window at a sea of e30's

when your friend with a brand new 135 Cab pulls up next to you on the interstate and you can tell his wife would rather be riding with you.

When you call in sick because Pull A Part just emailed you about an e30..and you were just there.
