      Well NASA is hosting an event at Sebring International Raceway.
      The address is:
      113 Midway Dr
      Sebring, FL 33876

      A bunch of e30s will be there, I can think of at least 7 off the top of my head. You should definitely come out!!!! :D

        Well that was one of the best weekends of my life!! Sebring was so much fun, and it was made even better with all the great people that came:D

        Here's me and Rockne hanging out in the paddocks with the founder;)


        The Rust Bucket in all its glory


        Taping on the numbers before the first session Saturday morning


        Rolling through the pit with Don Stevens, my instructor!!! He was amazing:D






        Big smile on my mug after a great weekend


        Look at those sparkles in the sunlight!


        The remnants of my autozone brake pads after a few sessions Big thank you to Rockne for letting me use his spare pads!!!


        And of course I can't forget my present from Jay:p

          Found a local junkyard that seems to have quite a few intact e30s compared to the ones I used to find at the pick&pulls down in SFL! Hopefully now I can find a few things I've been needing ;)

            Swapped out the alternator for a rebuilt one today a& changed the oil yesterday. Not anything crazy to update on, just trying to keep her running :)

                          This is a strong possibility

                          I think that once I strip the car completely I will oil the bare metal and leave it shiny for a bit:p Then after that it'll be time for a chlorine/salt bath!!

                              Yeah, that's pretty much the color scheme. Except I really wanted to get blood red 16x10 steelies, but I didn't have the cash. And no blue trim, this ain't no harlequin!
