I was rolling through the countryside today, leaving my parents house and I came across this sitting in someone's front yard. In Cedarburg/Mequon between Pioneer and Bonniwell rd. Who's is it? I've never seen it before.

when living near UWM in milwaukee, when a storm would hit, at least 6 cars would get stuck in my neighborhood alone. i was glad to help, because 5 out of 6 times it was a college chick!

Giggity..... Well played sir! I usually just saved people trying to drive their FWD corolla's with worn all seasons that thought they were going to just plow right through a foot tall snow bank....fail

Too bad you're not in milwaukee, you might've just obligated yourself to some winter rescues :-D

I am pumped for this snow season! Got another RWD so I can have some fun, but also have my RS for the really snowy days and for pulling people out!

Lol I like the second pic... parked next to a jeep. That first pic reminds me of the flood in mid-July, the water might have been higher though

F*** Yes!

They look pretty in white:

Haha nice pics, that's what I like to see. I was figuring I'd be one of the few e30's left romping around in Milwaukee this winter.... No reason to store a rusty IX, even if it is 2wd :(

[Boris3]

Do you have a black e30? and your friend a white m3?

Check out this video, is that you guys that this dude in a Blue Sti goes flying past? I did notice he was pretty hard on you in coming into turns 5 & 8 too.

Thought you'd get a kick outta this if it is you.

Thanks! I found this last night too. That was one impressive STI and he was driving it well. In the first few minutes of the clip it's pretty clear that I braked too early into 8 and he closed fast. He was fine. The guys who would pass without point or come up right beside you deep into 5 cutting you off made it wild. One Viper would always pass on the short straight from 5-6 without a point. The point issue aside the passing zone as explained in the drivers' meeting wasn't until 7-8. After a while you just knew it was coming.

The perspective in the clip is great. For example I'm doing 80-90 mph according to my speedo just tracking out of the carousel before heading towards the kink. I'm at around 110-115 when he catches me later in the clip at the crest of the 3-5 straight just before turn 4. It looks like I'm doing 35. The STI was fast.
