    Just Turned 16 and My Parents Bought Me An E30 M3!

    HAHAHA Just kidding.




    But now that I have your attention, can you believe that I've spent $4,300 on my fucking eta?! I just made a spread sheet with all the receipts I have. I bought the damn thing a year and a half ago for $800 and already dumped that much money into it. Where did it all go? You'd think I'd have actually built something impressive with that much cash. Shit, there are still so many little things wrong with it and so many things I still want to change. The joy of daily driving an E30... :roll:

    He is still an awesome car and I love him.

    Here are some pics I took this morning. I was actually really disappointed how they came out. Not my best work by far, but what ever.










    The Money Shot -




    I have some more pictures that I may or may not edit and post. But I'm tired as hell and I need to go to bed.

    I need some all french'd out euro smilies. Yay or nay?

      spread sheets are your worst enemy.
      I would hate to see all the money I've sunk into car's compared to what I have to show for it.

            Are your headlight trim rings painted black?

            I'm not sure what it is, but something looks different on the front of your e30. Can't put my finger on it...

                    I would be happy either way, but I lived in France for 6 months. Does that count?
