Nailed it 100% dude. Right on!
this is how i remember cliffnotes
OP I know your feel. I had an E30 and my parents are the complete opposite of car people. Never let me go out driving. I have to say I'm going to over my friends house or something. They always say "don't go anywhere".
Now I don't have e a car but that's a story for another day.
What
Are you projecting or something
I'm not even OP but I came into this thread expecting something good and you had to show up.
I thought this was an enthusiast board. Sorry that you don't like driving.
It's Veeky Forums. There are a lot of kids here who probably can't even drive.
I'd wager money he wanted an M3 and his parents wouldn't let him.
>implying this kid has an m3
>implying he dailys an m3
>IMPLYING AN M3 CAN ACTUALLY GO 150MPH
>IMPLYING A 1997 M3 ISNT ELECTRONICALLY LIMITED
>implying this thread has any truth
Man you guys sure are retarded.
>buying your own car and pay for everything and being legal driving age(assumed)
>parents telling you when you can and can't drive and what you can and can't do
nigga what?
An M3 can go 150
Also the speedos read high so it was probably more like 140
If I can daily a fucking 37 year old 2 rotor i'm sure someone can daily a fucking 20 year old BMW that is one of the most popular tuning platforms.
>fixer upper BMW
>can go factory topspeed
Yeah ok man
OPs roof probably came off while he was pushing it
>implying he actually owns a car
>live in parent's house
>buy car with money earned from high-school jobs
>afford it because lol no bills becuz living with parents
>PARENTS HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO TELL ME WHAT I CAN AND CAN'T DO FUCK EM
OP here. 150 was a clear exaggeration, or at least I thought. No way in fuck is it doing 150 in a straight line, much less on a backroad like that.
I used to daily a 1971 240z and I delivered pizza in it. You can daily anything if you have the balls. I daily drove a 1947 Willys Jeep for a while as well.
>lying to look cool on the internet
OP it just gets worse for you
And i bet neither of them work anymore.
Should have got a corolla, youd still have it.
Why are BMW drivers always such extreme crybabies whenever someone makes a joke about BMWs? Is it the same inferiority complex that causes them to buy a BMW in the first place?
It's not like M3's are particularly rare cars to come by either. I picked mine up off craigslist for 4k. Something that isn't an insane amount of money for a high school kid working multiple jobs. Much less than most kid's first cars actually. Unlike most kids though, I paid for my car through and through.
Oh come on I hit 130 in my 325is with 350k miles.
I'm not even defensive. I just get annoyed with the shitposting but alright.
>muh german engineering
>muh reliable electrical systems
>muh rebuilt engine 3000 miles ago
>muh rebuild gearbox
Oh wait i just remembered that everything on a BMW breaks
We've all been in one too many crashes that were our fault because of improper signaling.
I still have both and both still run. I currently daily drive an RX8. Both cars are back home at my Dad's place as I'm in the military and I don't have a place to store all of my vehicles.
OPs whole thread is a shitpost my dude.
Mine, suprisingly hasn't been to bad. I knew they had issues, but putting mine through the works most nights still hasn't resulted in any problems and it has 10k on it.
Who knows, though. Maybe itll just spectacularly blow up one day.
I mean, coming from OP, this all happened and is pretty acurate (aside from the slight speed exaggeration that caused a bit of a shitstorm) but beleive what you want.
10k miles?
All shitposting aside, thats too low to have any problems. But seriously i was going to buy a BMW until the ones i wanted always had "rebuilt engine" or "rebuild tranny" and shit like that.
Im not buying a car that has to have vital fucking components rebuilt when its only driven under 100 miles.
>>hyper drive.gif
What did he mean by this?
well he said he was driving 150 miles an hour
But it was probably more like 75
Fuck, I meant 100k. I missed a 0.
It was definitely up in the hundreds. Not quite 150 though.

I hope you have a savings account purely for rebuilding engines!
That's why I saved twice what I needed to buy the car.

I didnt think this thread would be such a cluster fuck. It's entertaining at least.
That kinda thing can happen when you're under 18 and living at home with the parents.Cant necessarily fault a younger person for that.
