        When every new car you drive just seems boring and sterile, even the sporty ones.

        Have to admit after test driving a few potential dailies, I'm either spending some more on fixing a few minor e30 niggles (steering rack, refreshed engine and gearbox mounts, and all wheel bearings)
        or giving up on an entertaining daily and buying a skoda fabia wagon.

                            True, sorta how my car is. Bunch of little dings and dents but runs like a champ.

                                You know you're an e30 owner, when your car comes with an airbag, but you get rid of it to have a cool steering wheel.

                                "No Airbags
                                We die like real men"

                                Saw that in sticker form, somewhere on the internet. Made me think of this.
