    11-year old's theory of BMW engineering

    I had my 11-year-old son remove the trunk ballast from my '92 cabrio today. I helped him lift it out, but he did most of the other work. Anyway, he says that BMW put the weight there so that snobby "Bimmer" owners could take it out and feel like they out-smarted the stuffy German engineers.

    Related: In reference to buying upgrades in SEGA GT for Xbox, the boy asked me what he should get first, exhaust or port/polish intake. I explained the E30 forum hierarchy of mods advised:

    1. tires
    2. suspension
    3. interior
    4. engine

    He said that sounded great, but he would trump the list with:

    1. gas
    "If the sky were to fall tomorrow, the tall would die first."

    Do I LOOK like I need a psychological evaluation???

      SEGA GT? im the biggest little kid when it comes to console games. FORZA 2. that is the most realistic racing game since GranTurismo4 came out. Im sure you'll end up playing on your time off.

      There's a thread somewhere that we posted our Forza custom rides. maybe it was on e30tech...

        You don't want to negotiate with the little stinker, believe me. You'll take a beating.

          I have come close to buying a 360 a couple of times since an equivalent doesn't exist for PS3.

                        I might have to put some sand bags in the trunk during the wet winter months to keep the rear end in a straight line.

                          If I wanted the rear end in a straight line, I would have bought a Camry.

                              z31maniac; buck up and get the ps3. after about 2 yrs of playing online @ around $120 (60 per year) and assuming you dont get the red ring of death aka epic malfuction in the first 3 months, you would have been able to buy the ps3 which has free and unlimited internet gaming and a blue ray dvd player.
