I was really fed up with the mustang, so I bought another car. A daily driver. And one heck of an awesome one at that.

Its a '98 M3 with lots of mods. Borla catback exhaust, springs, shocks, front and rear strut braces, x-brace, cold air intake, M roadster shifter, xenon angel eye headlamps, clear corners all the way around, beefed up rotors, stiffer bushings here and there, etc.

The E36 M3 was the best handling car that was available in the US in '97. This includes the F355, vette, viper, nsx, 911, boxster, whatever.
The mustang is going to see alot of garage time. Oh well.

And yes, i have a thing for white.

My brother has an older BMW that he slaloms. It does handle well, and my Stang would never be able to match him in the curves, but, at the stop light, that's another story. Nice ride though, but yes, your Stang will turn more heads.

I love my E30, but like said above... it gets creamed in a quarter mile by my friends Formula Firebird, but on the highway I can keep up decently, and it handles really well.
Have fun buying parts though, its not cheap.

Congrats those cars are freaking awesome. Im glad you didn't sell the stang. They handle amazing but yeah they are no drag cars. Man where do you get the cash for all this I thought you were a college student.

Thanks for the compliments. I am a college student, but I'm also working. I'm a salesperson at Audi of Atlanta. Yes, I know I just bought a BMW and not an Audi.

But I got my first compliment at a stoplight from a guy in another car. Said it was a "Baaad looking car."

But yeah, I've already seen 2 others on the road pretty much just like it.

Never had that problem in the fastback.
