    Roughly 75% of my time on r3v has been e30-less, so I am not a stranger to the feeling

    Glad I made the decision to get "back in the game" before prices skyrocketed

      I was E30-less for the first ~6yrs I was registered here. I only got mine late 2011, overpaid for it, but it doesn't have any rust, so whatever. Probably couldn't find a nicer car here for the same price if I wanted to, anyway, even though it's not really that nice.

        i've had an e30 for almost all of my ~10 years here.

        brief stints in a WRX wagon and an RB-swapped 240, but i came back because even with more power, they were boring in comparison. japanese cars are appliances, german cars are craftsman's tools.

              Yeah, but you have a 2002, and e21 as I recall. Not a Honda Civic, or Toyota Camry.

                Just curious why do you guys sell your e30's if you love them so much??? If its for the money cause you need it I my self would mark it as an immediate nfs and start selling other shit.

                  My reasoning for no E30 is because I traded my beater sedan for a cleaner shell with a locked up motor, then swapped a 5.0 into it.

                  It was my only car at the time and I got sick of constant wrenching on it, so I trade for an E34. Broke a rocker and didn't have a place to fix it so I sold it.

                  Now here I am. Not complaining, the Saab is great, and the Miata has working ac. The civic.... Yea I don't know.

                                Depending in how old the Saab is. If the Saab is in better condition keep Saab if miata is Better then keep that. Either way lose the civic dude haha
