I need $3000 to bring BMW from Europe (need VIN #s because Europe use chassis and engine #s,it use 98 octane gas ,need longer bumpers because Euro's have smaller ones and a few more stuff)

Awesome Ernan! It's funny though, people flamed me when I said I was gonna park the mustang for a while. But they're not flaming you! They didn't flame Travis for SELLING his, they didn't flame Caldwell for SELLING his. But way to go on the new ride.

lol, I musta missed Caldwell getting flamed. Yea I know you didn't flame me, a few others did though. And trust me, if I ever go crazy and decide to loan somebody my heads, you'll be the first to know.

Right on Ernan. I went the same route and got myself a VW Rabbit GTI for a daily driver that I'm restoring (Expensive!). Before I got into stangs I was a hardcore watercooled vee-dubber.

Ernan, it looks like a model car with you standing next to it. LOL. Like one of those little electric plastic cars that kids ride around in.

Congrats.

It might be a little of both. From what I recall, you are a really big guy (like 6'6", 300+ pounds). You would make Ford F350's look small.

I cut my teeth on European cars so I have a soft spot for cars like yours. Cool stuff!

MY winter ride is decent too. Having 260hp and heated seats is nice.
