This post starts with a story.
My friend just took the cover off the filter for his Dodge Neon R/T, and we were having a bit of fun because the noise is quite frankly orgasmic and he was giving it the beans wherever he went.
We come to a traffic light, and next to us this beautiful SL65AMG pulls up. I mean, absolutely gobsmacking. Black, on black mags with the red lining around them, with chrome trim spattered here and there. I only knew it was a 65 because of the striking "V12 Biturbo" on the side. This thing was amazing.
We pull off as quickly as we can, if only to get a rise out of this guy, and he just f***s off in a glorious onslaught of V12 goodness. 500m down the road, another traffic light. We pull up next to him, and we just couldn't help ourselves. Friends opening line when we pulled up was "It's beautiful!" To which the guy did nothing. We tried, for about 20 seconds, to get this guy's attention. It's not like he was on the phone, looking out the window, nothing. He was staring straight ahead. Not a word, not a movement. Light goes green, we put our foot flat, and he puts just enough power down to match us, and then buggers off. Needless to say, we hate him now.
Bit of background. In this country, we have a little something called Black Economic Empowerment. It's a glorified, biased, and highly corrupt rendition of Affirmative Action. Our government is entirely black, and all our tax money goes towards their cars/houses/holidays. I'm not joking. It is well documented and is plastered on the news daily, they don't give a sh*t. The country falls to pieces while they reap the rewards. Ask me more about it if you want to see the extent to which it goes. This man, fat black man, is a case in point of this attitude towards white people. Won't bat an eyelid at us, and in his beast of a car, decided to mock us instead of take our compliments.
So...
I have a E30 323i, which is to the shell in my garage. I have big, time, and money absorbing plans for it. At first my car was going to be built for the learning curve, the fun of putting it together, figuring it out, etc.
Now I have a new objective. If it is at all possible (which is why I come to you), I want to find this man and make him weep. I am well aware of how childish this is. I know it makes me look like a sensitive little boy, wanting to 'beat the bully', but this man needs to be put in his place. He's only as big as the car he drives, you can see it.
I want to know what it will take. I'm perfectly alright with the fact that I may never see this guy again, but I want a car that will put people like him in their place. I want a car that will be fun to drive, but if people want to ruin MY fun so they can feel all uppity and macho about it, I want a car that will turn them into a complete asshat.
So R3v, I come to you, hat in my hands. I want a comprehensive list of key points on my car that I would need to make this man's eyes bleed. If an E30 is not the best platform for it, be it an E36 or even an E46, say so.
