I was reminiscing my car history tonight and decided to make a list cuz i'm trendy like all you r3v fuckers.
anyway, i started off with (and in order):
1989 mercury sable (dad's hand me down for a few months)
1993 toyota previa le (which i still have)
1996 honda accord lx (got me into the whole "tuner" scene. Lady ran into me and blamed it on me)
1986 bmw 325e (pictured here)
-Some history of the car:
-Bought for 800 dollars in the summer of 2002
-Faded paint and wouldn't idle right.
-Drove for about a year, and sold for 2200.
Right after her paintjob. and also right after my first canyon run. I've been hooked ever since.
After seeing one of TJ's earlier shoots on e3s, i decided i wanted to try my hand at photography. i've been hooked ever since.
Needless to say, TJ, Alex, and I have all grown immensely in our photography habit through the help of each other and other talented shooters.
I sold my eta in the summer of 04 in search of a 91 318is. I drove around my dad's del sol si for a little while. 1.6liters with v-tec. sure sounds fast, but it goes nowhere. The car taught me alot in the canyons, i learned how to trail brake it to get it to neutralize the understeer in the corners. taught me alot about weight distribution and throttle control.
in February of 2005, i finally found the right 318is for me. Brilliantrot, stock and 135k on the clock. but out of all m42's i drove, this one just felt so strong, it pulled hard in every gear for a 318is and i knew i had to have it. the guy was asking 2700 but we got him down to 2200.
The day i bought her, gassing her up for the 85 mile drive home
That same night, i went to a local college with my e36 buddy to have an impromptu photoshoot. he used to own a 92 318i from germany. one of a kind color in the states.
A day later, had another impromptu photoshoot with my film camera.
A few months down the line, i sprang the cash for ie stg3 springs and koni yellows. I also sprayed my weaves gloss black for 99c a can at home depot. she looked good i will admit. this was from the day after all the work was done.
A little while later, i swapped my thule rack for a rack off of a saab, got 17" JDM Chevlon Racing Wheels, ate slotted rotors, mintex race pads, ate super blue fluid, and a supersprint catback exhaust. She was ready for canyon carving, too bad i only took her up once in that state, i was too worried about messing up the rims.
And now, how she looks today. completely ready for the canyons with the 14" stocks on azenis.
hope you enjoy hoes.
