I had a nightmare last night, but was disappointed it wasn't real.

[FredK]

Last night, I went to bed as usual. Maybe I slept on my stomach or something, because I had a pretty vivid dream.

My dream had me going to the mall at night, and parking my 318is in a mostly empty parking lot. I parked right next to a concrete island, so at the very least the driver's side would be sort of protected. To my right, the lot was empty.

Anyway, I guess I came out of the mall, and everything was hunky-dory. I look inside the car, and notice something odd about the passenger side. When I walk over to the passenger side of the car, I see someone has plowed right into it, smashing the center of the car in around 6 inches. Amazingly the glass was still intact for some reason, even though the car took such a big impact.

So my mind races. I probably have to call mall security and the police. All the while, I'm thinking, should I claim this on insurance? And part of me is relieved for some strange reason. Relieved I don't have to sell it and I will just part it out to make more money. Is that wrong?

I then woke up.

Cliffs: I had a dream.

No more late-night pizza right before bed for you .

[FredK]

Now that I think of it, earlier in the day, some dickhole in an F150 did not like me taking an unprotected left in front of him, so he gunned it as if he was going to t-bone my passenger side.

Zeee horror.

Car hit in dream= trauma

[Jscotty]

No. It's not wrong to part out the car if its totaled in an accident. In fact if something ever happened to my E30 I would collect the insurance, and then buy the car back for $200 and part it out. I know that the remaining useful parts are worth more than whatever the insurance company will pay out.

Fred, was this the M50 318i or the mint 318i with the glass roof? Anyways, you had this dream because of the truck. Your car was fine, then while you were driving, you had a near life experiance with the truck. You were happy, as we all are, that you did not have an accident. You thought you were over it, but your mind saw what would have happened in your dream.

Tonight go on some porn and then go to sleep. Happy dreams ahead;).

I only remember part of my dream last night. Someone stole the six pack off of my Demon. I lifted the hood and it was gone. That's all i remember.

[FredK]

It really wasn't a near life experience at all. The dude was just letting me know that I shouldn't have cut him off. But I did pause for a second to think about how much of a retard he was.

This was the M50 car. I guess I'm just not looking forward to the lowballing that will commence when I finish it up and sell it. Haha. Maybe it was that I'd rather part it out than to sell it whole but that is too much of a hassle.

how about you part out the Other 318 and give me all the goodies!

[golde30]

i had this dream a ton of times, but its always that my car was stolen and stripped to the chassis, or just stripped rite there where i parked it. i think the reason why i see these dreams so clearly, is that i have stripped 3 e30's to the frame, and have those images sitting in my head already...

[FredK]

NOES!

I'm sure you'll find a glass moonroof at a junkyard, eventually!

I dream about my car getting a window broken and my stereo being stolen all the time... it's come true once already, only a matter of time til it happens again

That was like the long road downhill, IIRC, of the Sterling car. Didn't you sell it soon after that?

I've had a dream that I came out of a grocery store and found parts missing and dents all over my car, then trying to get out of the parking lot before more damage occured.

Others too, where my car got damaged. I'd seriously almost start to cry and panic thinking it's real, it's so vivid. I wake up in horror, then about a minute goes by, and I'm so relived it was just a dream. Then...of course, I check on my car real quick. hehe

I often have similar dreams where I am being bullied when it comes to my car. I once had this dream where I went outside and someone had stolen the 2 front wheels off of my car so I had ask the people on the street if they saw anything and after much asking around I found the guy who knew the guy who saw the guy take my wheels. And after the whole ordeal of finding my wheels was over I get back to my car and its missing the windshield and trunk lid.So I go through the same crap again and once I get my trunk lid and windshield back then there are a couple of guys in my engine unbolting a few things.

Then I get overwhelmed and wake up and feel relieved that it was ONLY a dream! But I still go outside and check on my car.

bump for this cool story.

I had a dream last week where I m50 swapped my m42 powered 91 318is.. and hated it.

It was really terrible and I woke up believing I had actually swapped it and I was just filled with regret. Then I was like "WTF I DON'T HAVE M50 LOL."

All was well.
