    ....when you go through this entire thread before anything else

    ....when you know 99% of what is said here you've been there done that

    ....when that 1% haven't done you're waiting to happen or do

    ....when you convince your 16 year old daughter this is the best car ever made and she writes a report on it for school and most of her classmates have no idea what she is talking about when she calls my car an E30

    ....when said daughter who is now 17 wants my car and I tell her no way but secretly looking for one for her

    ....when I teach my daughter how to drive stick for 2 reasons:
    1)none of her friends know or want to drive a manual
    2)when she burns out my clutch gives me reason to replace it

    ....when you pass an E30 in a driveway everyday on your way to work and wonder when its gone did they sell it and why didn't I ask them if they were selling it

    ....when you look for any reason to do an "italian tune up" any chance you can

    ....when you go to inspection thinking its gonna fail with that huge hole in the muffler and get excited when they pass it and leave the muffler as is cause it sounds great

    ....when you convince your wife she don't need to come with you to wherever your going so you can really have fun

    more to come as I think of it.....

    When you think this is the best first post ever :)

                  She is sitting outside waiting for you to install the new fuel pump that came in the mail.

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

                            People seeing you browsing e30s on Craigslist be like
                            "BROOOO, you looking to see what price to sell your e30 for?"
                            "Naw, I'm looking for another!"

                              ...when you're used to the looks the kids give at the drive through when you ask for a drink carrier even though you only ordered one drink.

                              ...when more than once you've considered fixing your check engine light by unplugging it

                              ...when you do the turn around look after parking and think to yourself, "fuck, needs moar low".
