nudie pics or ban!

spicoli024,

Sorry for what happened to your M3 man. Don't worry too much though, everything will turn up positive for you.

[spicoli024]

^ thanks, but there will be good to come of all this. I know it! Totaled or not, either way, I will make the best of it. It could result in an amazing track car. Funny thing is, I asked the officer at the scene if he would drop me off at the bar. He said no, but my friends helped me in that regard.

I was looking at the JB e92M at Momentum in Houston last week. If the economy was not in the shitter I would have bought it and your mods were exactly what I had in mind (minus the front splitters + this ). Looks fantastic! Truly great work my friend. You should meet us for a track day in January so we can see it in person. Click here for the link.

thanks! i'll check into it.

just read back a few pages and saw this. i'm behind on teh car forums lately.

always! been pretty busy.

^ AH! I'm getting jealous with you Blake since you've been workin' your a$$ off, and I've just been pacing myself.

Looks like your gonna beat me in owning that GT3 first! jk

i love my m3, but i'm just getting bored with it. i've wanted a maserati granturismo for a while. got to drive an old friend's GT a while back and fell in love. i can get a CPO maser GT for much less than i could get a used gt3. it's no slouch, either, but a lot "slower" than my m3. i'd love to have an x6m and a maser GT in the driveway, ideally. my car wants change very frequently, if you can't tell...although i'm unsure what i should do right now. gt3 isn't practical as a DD either...can be done, but i drive a ton of miles.

[Blake]

i feel all grown up and shit now. it's weird. oh well, go cowboys.

I see. You're getting the disease called 'TIGHTIE-nytess (I'm not sure if you've heard of Tightie also getting bored of his M3)

Shoot, I wish I could afford to get bored of a car that quick! I gotta keep my M at least 5-6 yrs before I move on......And even then, I'll probably still keep my M3 and just add a cool car with it. That's just my goal though

Hell, yeah! Romo looks like a new man with all that baggage out of his life on and off the field.

Just don't buy any more trucks...

I thought I was bad going through cars every two years. For me, this is how it plays out. I buy the car, promising myself to keep it stock. Within 6 months, boredom sets in and I start treating that disease with mods. Of course, there's really no cure, so once the mods are finished I keep the car for about 6 more months before moving on.

I'm hoping the M is different. I love this car, and I hope periodic track days will keep me into it.

[DevJ]

Blake if you get rid of your M you better sell all that cf shit to me for cheap

[2008GT500]

DevJ get in line.

[2008GT500]

If you were me and had both my cars and were thinking about getting rid of both to get something new that'd be a daily driver, something fast, handles well and is mod friendly what would you get?

[artifice]

me2! I go through cars about every year... =( I might keep this M for a little bit longer though. I bought the Tahoe because it is comfortable and easy to drive around town. No flash, no go, just chilling. But I think my next car will probably have to be a British hunk of crap or a Italian hunk of crap. One thing will stay true though... my Tahoe =)

I really enjoy the looks of the M and the "comfortable" edge of it, but I can see myself getting something newer as soon as I see a new M or a re-vamped 3-series. gt3's are nice, but what about a gt2? (with some fun upgrades...bpu?)

nothing is 100% mod friendly I would say get a range rover and a pasta-rocket ... assuming you have both cars paid off.

[spicoli024]

Blake, if you sell your car, I want it! After recent events I NEED a new car and as I said before, your mods are exactly what I would do to the e92. It is like the newer generation of my car now. Let me know when you're ready, I'll be here.

Probably a lightly used 911TT. Pretty comfortable as a daily driver, easily chipped for even more ridiculous power, and handles well once you get used to the rear-engine/RWD setup.

A '09 C63 AMG.

Go for a 2009 because I've heard there are very heavy discounts on the remaining ones on the lot. Possibly $10-15k off?

Get a software upgrade on it, and you'll be over 500 hp.

Also, it'll be a good daily driver since you'll have the convenience of an automatic, and plus you'll always feel the low-end torque while city driving.
