I've never gotten so many stares and thumbs up ...

Well one day I was driving along a service road with some traffic, then all of the sudden I hear the car next to me downshift and starts reving the shit out of his car. I looked over, and saw it was a mid 1990's accord with 4 people in the car. He had a car infront of him, so he had no where to go, no cars in front of me, but I thought to myself not going to waste any gas on him and ignored him. He kept reving and reving and reving. We were comign to an intersection and light was turning yellow, i step on it a bit, passed it, he cut over to my lane and blew the red light behind me.

Then sirens came on, lol cop pulled him over for blowing red light. I guess that's what you get for being an idiot

The uneducated think that the larger the number on the back of the car the better. They just don't know.

For me, I'd rather have a 335 than a 745. However I'm probably not in the majority.

Me too - getting lots of approving looks and thumbs up. Quality!!

Mr.AK · 07-17-2008, 09:13 AM

I'll be honest, the only car that i am envious of, LOOKS WISE ONLY, is the Alpine White M6, WOW! Otherwise the M3 is truly a show stopper!

I got an egg thrown at me whilst driving at approx 30 mph...lol. Landed on the windscreen. Could of caused a serious accident, though.

Mr.AK · 07-17-2008, 09:19 AM

Jesus! I thought that kind of stuff only happened in America

Well good thing it didn't hit the paint.

DonM3 · 07-17-2008, 09:30 AM

Well I was in the ghetto.....lol. The egg went everywhere when I turned on the wipers. I even some how smelt raw egg in the cabin.

What? Why, how?!! An egg!!

After a month I've really had no looks or thumbs up. I actually noticed how much my E92 is a sleeper.

I've had about 10 wrx's try to race me, but no looks from people in parking lot's or other cars.

DonM3 · 07-17-2008, 09:51 AM

About a week ago in grimey Mile End in the east end of London.
When passing a block of council flats an egg landed straight on the windscreen. My first reaction was to slam on the brakes and then turn on the wipers.

Pretty good throw from the culprit I must admit...lol. No harm done this time, but it could of caused an accident.

Did an ED for my SSII E92 M3 last week and it was a head turner. Even driving down on the A-bahn (just cruising coz of break-in), a lot people have a second look at it. So I can only imagine when I get my car back home.

I recommend an intense detailing including tire shine....that will start it back up again!

I'm glad you clarified, because I was a little unsure.

If I was not dating the woman who is now my wife at the time, I have probably whipped the car around at the next cut through and chased her down.

Its definitely fun to own a brand new highly desirable car.

Probably a realtor.
