Wow.. What a story this car was. This was my first car. Me and my parents were out at the Bar and Grill enjoying some good food and some Corona, when the waitress came up and said someone had left me this binder here. I was like.. wtf? So i opened it up, and i saw two plane tickets. I did not knnow what to think. I turned the page and i saw the car, and i still didnt understand. My dad was like, "thats YOUR CAR!" I just about fell out of my chair. This was a Friday night, and he said go home and pack we are leaving tommoro at 5:00 am out of New Orleans to pick it up, we are flying to Fort Meyers Florida to pick it up. This car was basicly show room condition, until i hit a basketball in the road and bent the front valance a little. Well i owned this car for almost a year. On the way to an Auto-X i was going down the interstate at 55mph (speedlimit is 65) because it was wet. Well i came on top of a hill and on the other side i hit a patch of water and i hydroplaned off the interstate. All i remember was doing a few 360's and seeing headlights of oncoming traffic facing me and then going off the road. Spinnign out of control down a hill of wet grass i stopped when i hit a concrete drainage pipe. The one lady who stopped said my car was spinning terribly fast and came to a sudden stop in a ditch full of water.. i think i blacked out because i dont remember much.
This is after my wreck. The frame was bent, doors would not shut. Total trash. So i stripped it out, using it as a parts car (very handy) and sold must of the car off.
Car #2
Age:17
Car: 1991 318is
Price: $4000
Miles: Most likely aproaching 165k (odometer broke a looonng time ago)
Mods: BMP front and sides, 17' Mille Miglia wheels, H&R Springs, 10k HID, Euro smoked ellips, new Brillantrot paint, shaved trunk, euro side markers.
Well luckily after my wreck, i had close to $3,000 saved for goodies i was going to purchase for my black car. Well since i wrecked it.. i needed to buy car. So i found this one off of DTMPower, in Tennessee. I loved this car.. it was just slow as frozen piss. And if i remember correctly everyone hated on the black wheels when i first showed it off... i think everyone likes black wheels now, go figure. :o
Well i was planning on doing the m50 swap into the red car.. Until i found this one:
Car #3

Price: $3000 (ahaha <3 you guys)
Mods: 1992 non vanos m50 motor, Conforti chip, m3 exhaust, Konis and eibach springs.
Well i wanst even looking to buy this car. I called up the owner to ask him some questions about the swap. Well we got to talking for a few days, and he asked if i was sure that i did not want to buy it. I told him, i would love to buy it but i do not have $8,000 (his asking price). Well he asked to talk to my dad. They talked for a few minutes, and then i saw my dads jaw drop. He said, "I will call you back in about 20 minutes." My dad looked like he was in shock.. The only thing he said was "GO SELL YOUR RED CAR". I was confused.. My dad said that the owner of the red car told him "If you drive up here Saturday morning with a trailor, you can have the car for $3,000." I immediately posted my car for sale (this was Monday). I sold my red car on Wednesday for $4,500. We rented a trailer and drove to Atlanta For saturday and picked the new car up. I think i will be keeping this one :)
