            werd. the cars are old, and MANY of them are beat. i just find it cool that so many ratty looking piles are still blasting down the road. kinda gives me a good feeling. i'll admit it makes me smile. :D

                      werd. i love when you get funky ass looks from other people on the road. i almost feel like people think im a broke ass trying to be a baller because im driving a 22 year old BMW. whatever. i got the car because my first was an E30, and since destroying it, ive always wanted another. everyone can kiss my ass! :D

                                What is wrong with a little spa treatment? Girls pay lots of money to get lathered in mud and the local SCCA lets me pamper my girl for only $20. :D

                                Seriously though, 90% of people who complain about how 'dirty' or 'beat on' my car is can STFU. It is cleaner underneath and more mechanically sound than most. So what if I don't spend hours polishing a turd? It would still just be a polished turd. Hell, even without being polished more than once a year the paint looks better than many locally. It is running around the track instead of being crushed in a junkyard which is where it was headed when I got it. I'd say it's a pretty damn happy car.




                                Lots of rock chips, wrecked on drivers side at least twice, hit deer on pass side. Still kickin.
