      As we conferenced, I maintain the $500 for motor + however much for the (weak) transmission is definitely a good price, were I in the market.

        No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

          it's a secret bunker. The plan is to make the E30 so rare that they skyrocket in value, and then I will slowly sell off one at a time.

                You can only be cool like me if your engine/trans costs less than mine ($250 final cost after selling the 528 and some more of it's parts). :-D

                  325ix and Monkey Taco - You guys want to do a little photo shoot tomorrow. I'll be down that way for an appointment at 1:00. 3 white E30's in the snow... I could do 12:00 before hand or say 2:30ish.

                      First mountain post of the new year woooo!

                      After would be better for me, the kiddos will be napping and I can get away for a bit. Mine is quite dirty, but I'm not washing it with these cold temps, the doors will freeze shut!

                      Dirty photos ahoy! Wait, that sounded bad. whatever lol

                          2:30 works for me. I don't know that area well, any suggestions?

                              We could meet in the best buy parking lot right at Colorado and Mexico? Then find someplace cool?

                                At 282,8XX miles, the Volvo has unfortunately developed a cold knock.

                                Fingers crossed that I can make it to 300k miles before it punches a hole in the side of the engine block.
