heh, well BMWs attract a lot of the hard parking crowd for sure. Everyone talks about handling and performance, but out of all the E30s we have in the PNW, guess how many guys have actualy shown up to the track, autox or even drag strip.. :p

nothing wrong with a street car of course. just don't pretend..

are you complementing newmans looks?

[87e30]

I wasn't supporting any one of your arguments. Just pointing out your attention whoredom.

Its nothing personal. I would have done it to anyone. It just happens to be you this time. So here you go.

Hey, at least they look good while they're doing it. ;)

Anecdotal support for my argument.

Prestigious? Nah.

They are cool in that they don't look like new cars though, which makes them somewhat unique compared to Civics or 240s.

[newman]

are chevettes RWD?

now you want to talk about a prestigious car.. :p

I think they were. You can see at the time I just wanted ANYTHING, though I AM glad that I don't have an RB26 S10. :P

I knew you couldn't be serious. I like your style. To be completely honest about how I arrived at my e30... I made this post on a local forum:

After all this is over, wanna go in together on a time share or somethin?

I are dirty punk kid 2, hiding my tats at work in this conservative corporate fuck fest I call a job.

[newman]

is this all because newman made those comments about that russian car ?
just curious

no, I think it was these series of comments:

You know, it's easy to hate, but the guy probably doesn't have much money and he's actually getting out there and racing. You have to admire the attempt. I guess you don't have to pay to play.

That's probably cooler than what a lot of people on this site do.

Disagree. I think a LOT of people here have a "better than you" attitude about their cars.

I don't think I'm better than anyone else. I can be snotty sometimes, but I think it's usually pretty clear that I'm joking.

Just seems like a lot of negativity... w/e

I'm just fucking with you dude.
You have a neat project but I doubt you'll garnish any BMW love from enthusiasts that matter in the industry other than "Holy shit that things fast" or "Nice job man", not that you're fishing for compliments and props. At the end of the day, you could have done that to any car, but the fact that you did it to an E30 after all the work and money and time spent, c'mon. Prestige exists, at whatever level. Admit it.

I don't know you personally, but you seem to be a pretty legit dude by your posts. I was just being a dick. :)

you should vote

Should we also discuss the surroundings in which e30 may appear prestigious? At the BMW dealership or college campus? In my $500 apartments my car is very prestigious...

WTB: rwd shell. e30, s10, camaro, 240sx, chevette, ranger etc.
I don't want to deal with much rust.
Got my hands on a straight six.

they came with alot of tech and some pretty cool options that were ahead of their time. besides, when it comes down to it, i drive a bimmer, not a dodge.

Did you know in the mid 1980's, Dodge had cars that talked to you and also had OBC's like that of BMW's. Also had standard heated mirrors, plus options like power windows, digital dash, and some other comforts. So no, these cars are not even ahead of their time.

I enjoy watching Newman follow up every few comments with "I had" or "I did"

Here is my favorite though.

Anecdotal support for my argument.
