Great youtube video jbig, too bad the Vette couldn't win. Thanks for sharing.

The pic is my wife and it looks exactly like her.

Looks like a lot of upgrades under the hood ... but such a personalized airbrush job can't help resell value, right? :D

That's why I airbrushed the hoodliner, it can be removed in about two minutes. I have another one that I will change out if I ever sell the car. I'd never sell her with it :D!

MR. FLIP - good luck on that BMW search!!!!! :D

The wife and I currently have an SL500 2006 (automatic though) and i dont like it. Too big and I am not a convertible guy.

They made SL500 Manuals? We dont have them here in the USA, but i know they made SL300 in stick back in the day.

Sports compacts are my dream rides - Porsche 911s, BMW M3 series, NISSAN GTR, Subaru STI...etc....

RICH - yeah it was a fantastic race... crazy ending.... but yeah, that CORVETTE looks badass all fixed up like that...how come the street ZR1 cant have flared out fenders and larger wheels?

MR TERROR & RICK - it was George who had the yellow CORVETTE.

No, no... someone else. Someone definitely "not" important. George rates much respect and is a great guy.

Ha great video! Loved 100% of that ending! Yes, gotta love the C6R vettes! Pure sex on wheels. Will be sad to leave her but harder to make that car payment when she is sitting there not being driven. The porsche my cost more but will get better mpg (normally I dont care but worth it since I travel for a living now) and my total payments will be less.
Nik

well here she is, i decided to leave the viewing on the silver bmw as i came accross this beauty closer to home and decided to pull the trigger.

she is a 2000 bmw 330 ci se sport 2 dr coupe, only 61K miles on the clock and every gadget you can think of, with some nice uprgraded MV2 18 " rims, full leather interior, privacy glass and 6 speaker BOSE sound system.

this thing is mint inside and out and doesnt look like a 10 year old car.

super chuffed, looking forward to picking her up during the week when i settle the outstanding cash.

I know you may be blindly in love with that car right now ... but I am begging you to reconsider. I think the fancy BMWness is hiding the fact that they have placed the steering wheel on the wrong side.

I have to agree with Oogie. Perhaps there is a money-back guarantee? That steering wheel is DEFINITELY on the WRONG side. I feel so sorry for you...

Seriously, nice set of wheels.

TERROR - HMMMM ..... i dont know who else had a yella corvette then.

NIK - yeah that ALMS corvette is the shiznit!!!!!!

FLIPPER - can't wait till you get that bad boy!!!!!! I think you got a great deal because like oogies and rico suave said, the prior owner must of known that left hand drive was the way to go!!!! :P J/K bro :D

it was not george. ,,,

it was .. mr CFERR.........

Seriously, nice set of wheels.

Rick complimenting a BMW? I'm flabbergasted!

is rick not normally a beemer man?

extra thanks for the compliment then!

and thanks to all the other kind words, thursday evening is when i get the keys and the car, so ill post some more pics.

im on the look out for tasteful decals/stickers for it now, im not show whether to go stretch, just the icon or go vintage as thats what my collection is all about......

Hyundai or Audi man I think, doesn't matter they are both the same. I have a 540i with one simple black icon sticker centered on the rear window.

And an 8-Track

I happen to be loving the new stuff coming out of Hyundai and Kia. That little Kia Optima looks killer. As for BMW's, I like them a lot, but the dealer here was full of smug little bastard salesmen who thought I was kicking tires....I had to beg for their attention so I went over to the Audi dealership and they treated me like a KING! Been very happy with the Q7 actually. Perfect vehicle for this city/weather.

Yeah - those Kia's really rock it out in LA...

I've got two stickers on my Xterra:
A Square O on the front of the roof rack.

A Static O on the rear center brake light.

Yeah - those Kia's really rock it out in LA...

Not just limited to Kia's, but most vehicles tend to perform their best at highway speeds if you use the D instead of 3.

Amazing though - how long those little Toyota's will do 70 mph at 6500 rpm without exploding though. Simply amazing.

This can only be discovered however, if the shifter is positioned under your knee.

Nik, you don't know if the Toyota broke down for the next driver... LOL.

There was a great chance to head back to the BMW dealership and use the Pretty Woman Quote to the salesman - " Big Mistake.... Big Mistake."

well who else is going to hire them??? and whats wrong with having an 8 track?

That's where the term "Drive it like a rental" came from.

My dreamcar when I was young and I owned 3 of them.

This was my favorite car and I miss her when I sold her in 2003.

1991 BMW E30 M3

I have a well-off Vietnamese friend who once walked into a Lexus dealership intending to buy a Lexus. Salespeople snubbed at him, presuming he couldn't afford it. This friend of mine got so pissed off, he immediately went to his bank, withdrew $50,000 in cold hard cash, brought it back to that Lexus dealership, and yelled at them: "I have all this ready cash ready to buy a car, but I'm going somewhere else!" I think he eventually bought a Benz with that money.
Moral of the story: Looks can be deceiving. Never judge a book by its cover, or a person by how he dresses. (Oakleys excepted?)
