It made me dizzy and made me think impure thoughts about reciprocating masses.

Speaking of which, why'd you change yours?

I dunno, but I am pretty sure it is constructed from 100% pure Einsteinium!    ;D

You're both right - it's a floor wax AND a dessert topping!

Yep. 1990 E30 M3. Hopelessly outclassed these days by far more plebian automobiles, but she is still a blast to drive. It was my daily driver for years, but when the baby came along... well, let's just say that a compromised homologation special is not the ideal perambulator.  The important thing to realize with such a wonderful  toy is that if you get rid of the toy, you may not ever see it again. This applies to cars, boats, airplanes, girlfriends, whathaveyou. So I kept it and bought something reasonable.

It's truly a silly car, especially for where I live (hypercrowded North Shore of Boston), but how many E30 M3s are you going to have in your lifetime? Besides, I think it'll be a great car for my daughter to learn the racing line with, don't you agree?
