    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.

      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.

              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..

                    agree with this completely. they are cool little cars, but they arent a mercedes black series.

                        I despise "digital" dashboards. It requires you to READ the gauge outputs, instead of being able to gather their outputs by looking for reference marks / 12 o'clock. It also removes the ability to judge anything by gauge velocity, as it's now just a number that's changing at an indeterminable rate, which would require looking away from the road for too long to make sense of it.

                        Heated mirrors, now that I can get into - our minivan has that, and they're warm to the touch at 65. But the average car today turns off the electrical defrosters for you as a courtesy (often after 15min), which I find really annoying when driving in fog/snow/rain.

                          You fucking yutz, I think you should get a better grip on the English language and perhaps look up the word "anecdotal" before you try an gimme dat siq online burn, y0!

                          I replied "anecdotal support for my arguments" indicating that I say "I had" or "I did" to provide a basis as to why i had formulated an opinion on a given subject, or because it's pertinent to what I was talking about.

                          I tried not to use too many big words in this post, so you'll probably only have to look up a few.
