    Yup. Lasted strong for about 20 minutes and now just a calm rain with rumbling thunder all around. Pretty cool! And much needed rain...

    I was outside getting the patio furniture and everything put away when it started coming down. Pretty good rain for a bit but has since calmed. Looking at the radar, it looks like we might be getting something a little more serious in the middle of the night.

      Guys, this wagon has backfired on me.  My son just argued with me about taking the M3 to the gym instead of the wagon.  He's going too far with this.

      I have the lower faster version for sale soon if it comes to that...  Not for 3600$ though.  ;)

        Been in the lower part of the building at work for an hour now with this storm blowing through. Hopefully the F30 has made it through alright. Fond du Lac had it come through pretty good apparently.

                      I drove my car... is that something that people do anymore or is it only working on cars that don't move that counts?

                        i drive the e30 everyday. even on project days i sit in the drivers seat and make revving noises,  pretend shift and sometimes drive well enough to win the imaginary autox.

                          I have sat on the seat from my disassembled e36 in the basement to reminisce.

                            I sit in the passenger seat(only seat installed) and imagine what it would be like to drive.

                              I changed a radiator and water pump in the parking lot at work on Friday.

                              Can't imagine why it was overheating...

                                  I haven't driven the e30 in 8 months... It would take about 45 minutes to get it running, just lost the motivation.

                                  However, I've been looking at the e92 M3, E60 M5, and C63 AMG a lot lately. Girlfriend wants me to buy the AMG, but I keep going back to the BMW offerings. Did you consider any other cars before choosing your M3?

                                    1st time in 18mo. got to drive Calypso more then 10min.

                                    Does she know any one of these will be a high maintenance mistress?  A 3 pedal M5 would be my choice.

                                      Does she know any one of these will be a high maintenance mistress?  A 3 pedal M5 would be my choice.

                                      Looks good!

                                      She's been with me through the 911, a terrible 325ic, a terrible Civic and Volvo, another e30, my current Ducati, and almost worst of all, the current Range Rover.
                                      If I bought anything other than a maintenance nightmare she'd probably have me committed for a psychiatric evaluation :D

                                        I haven't driven the e30 in 8 months... It would take about 45 minutes to get it running, just lost the motivation.

                                        However, I've been looking at the e92 M3, E60 M5, and C63 AMG a lot lately. Girlfriend wants me to buy the AMG, but I keep going back to the BMW offerings. Did you consider any other cars before choosing your M3?

                                        Briefly but once I drove an M3 it was such a sublime experience I couldn't think of anything else.  The c63 always popped up as an option but it wasn't enough of a drivers car for me.  The M5 sounds great but again, not a drivers car and the thought of owning an s85 v10 was more terrifying than the s65. The SMG in the e60 is also much MUCH worse than the DCT in the e90 which is amazing!  I cross shopped the RS4 but i'm a rwd purist for my fun car.  Again, once I drove an M3 then that was all I could think of.  I recently drove a 997 911 carrera S with a 6spd and it was fun but I didn't walk away from it thinking I was missing anything by not owning one over my M3.  The M3 is that good.  The AMG is a comfy tire burner that goes when you stomp on it but the driving experience isn't nearly what you get from the M3.  It's visceral.  It's always asking for more.  It wants you to step out in a roundabout and rewards you for it.  It's subtle in it's looks but the sound has gotten me plenty of thumbs up and stop light conversations.  I love the "wtf was that?!" When I drive by people.  If I did ot again i'd make the same decision.

                                          Mostly got all of our crap moved into my parent's house.  I wanted to be like other cool Millennials.  Working on selling our house in Iowa.  New job is going good so far.

                                          As a side note my dad picked up a '98 Biarritz Blue E39 wagon.  It only has 85k miles and has never been driven in the winter.  It isn't mint but pretty good, it needs some front end work, the typical loose joints and the plastic is all broken under the bumper.  Runs excellent, only occasional codes for torque converter not locking up, which it sometimes does and sometimes doesn't.  It is a premium package, but not cold weather so no heated seats, originally from Palm Beach I think.  

                                          It has a weird slide out floor in the back, I hadn't seen one like that before.  Not exactly sure of the purpose?
