2 things

How did they NOT drive this thing? I haven’t driven this era 3 series in 20 years but I recall them being wonderful, and begging to be driven.

You know, it doesn’t matter where I go either. I drive in the Bay Area, Chicago, DC, Seattle, London, Dublin, Belfast, and everywhere that you find lots of traffic, you find people clogging the fast lane, tailgating, cutting people off, road-raging....the worst I’ve seen is in the Bay Area. I’ve seen 2 instances of…

I dont know anyone who is, yet he’s always on TV and is very successful. I guess success isn’t a popularity contest, quite possibly the inverse.

Somebody washed a Sebring?

Apologies actually. I dont condone or like partipating in internet rants, profanity or hostility. It got away from me yesterday. I actually do not rage when driving and I generally try to be a courteous, common sense driver. I am amazed, however, that people drive as if the world is their doormat and see several…

Good for you; you still have a soul.

Not really. I’m generally a courteous driver, but I’m very stubborn when people drive like rules and social etiquette doesn’t apply to them. In short, I always let a car merge in front if it’s a true merge (a car, not several cars) , but if you’re driving on a shoulder then trying to cut in on a line of traffic,…

I’m okay with it, in theory, I just don’t know how it’s going to work.

It’s was thinking $4-5k as well. Do a Richard Rawlings style negotiation. “You’re asking $8,800, but I’m more at like $2,000...”

Ill go buy a regular focus and replicate this with some used wheels and tuner parts of questionable durability from eBay and leave with $4,000 to spare. CP.

It can’t have it. I’m going to continue using it to annoy Limeys. (1943 wants its Britain dis back but imma keep that one too)

My experiences were all in the 80s and 90s; maybe it’s different now? Remember the dealer from Pulp Fiction? That dude was every dealer in the 80s and 90s.

I agree but I’m not even talking about real merges. I’m talking about the following type of scenario.

I’d be happy if Mary was legal here and I could smoke the occasional J without having to go find a dealer, and visit his shitty, run-down house, and wait for him to lock up his angry dog, tell me his conspiracy theories, and take really odd phone calls every 5 minutes “Bro, yeah, I have your green sweater, yes the one…

Will it depreciate at a rate of 75% bluebook value, annually, until it’s worth $9,000?

I’ve worked in Temecula, San Jose and Carlsbad many times but have never gone to LA. I actually avoid it, and the jerk-off drivers are one of the main reasons. I can barely keep it together in Chicago traffic. Also, whenever I ask a Californian from the San Diego or Bay Area what to do if I visit LA, literally every…

I learned something here today; and that almost never happens.

This! People will fight like hell against it tho. You should have heard the outcry at the implementation of red light cameras in Chicago a few years back. “My personal privacy!” Then Chicago screws the entire thing up, gets caught in dirty contracts with the camera system providers and erroneous ticketing and ends up…

Especially when it will just spend the rest of its operational or useful life trying to kill you, long after you’ve moved on to other things.
