    Lost a dear friend

    Its been snowing a lot in Kentucky recently and its not been fun to drive in. I wrecked my e36 M3 in October and got the deal of the century by trading it to my friend for his super clean 89 e30 325i. Fresh paint, wheels and it ran like a dream as well.

    I just got a new job Monday that requires me to drive quite a ways to get to work on the interstate and it was snowing pretty bad today. In rush hour traffic with snow covering the ground I lost control going about 45-50 mph and ended up regaining control sideways on the interstate. About 30 seconds after regaining control of the car two cars hit my drivers side crushing in both of my doors and pretty much destroying my car.

    I barely knew you.

          I'm sorry to hear for your loss. I know what you're going through, I had bought a GTI and drove it for literally 2 weeks until some ass on the highway cut me off and clipped my fender resulting in a total loss. At least your safe, cars can be replaced but you can't.

                              ...and you walked away from that shit? DAMN!

                              Do as Blunt says. I think you owe it to that E30.

                              BTW: call a lawyer.

                                                      Everyone walked away. One car drove away. Lucky for me I've got a line on a 318 that looks promising.

                                                      I know. The tires on this car though, not made for it. Damn you previous owner and your love of high performance tires.
