This is why I drive an '80s BMW. Was browsing EBay earlier...what looked to be a clean '86 160K-mile 5-speed 535i went for $2276...were I the high bidder, I'd be surprised as hell.

Well come >graduation, I had a good gpa and my dad said I could get one. This idea that parents would bribe their offspring to get good grades by offering a car is just totally repugnant to me. Especially an expensive car like the M3. I had to get my car the old-fashioned American way - I earned it. I worked nonstop, going out evenings and weekends to sell drugs, mug little old ladies for their Social Security money, and to steal kidneys from tourists. I had to spend many, many, many hours hanging around the bus terminal, picking up young runaways to sell into slavery. But, every time I rev up to redline, it just makes it all worthwhile.

A sandblaster....everyone knows that if the belt sander doesn't fit, you go straight to the torch...Man o man - glad you're not working on my car!
