Weird, Google told me it was a Floridian that blows smoke rings on the internet. https://www.instagram.com/g3ngar/

I'm probably the youngest one here and I don't know SHIT about Pokemon.

You're too young to understand how awesome it is.

Car is getting painted today, should be back tomorrow or thursday. Anything specific I should look for when inspecting it? Does the paint have to dry or can I touch it right away?

[KaiserRolls]

Ask the painter how soon you can seal the paint (wax or something else). They usually want you to wait a certain amount of time

And yes don’t touch wet paint

Car is home, they did a great job honestly. Looks and feels good, taking it out for the weekend tonight.

I will second that. It is a must do here on the WI Bimmers forum no exceptions!!!!

[YoungCR]

Glad it's back in your hands! Repairs look great.

Black is a hard color to repair. Looks good from that photo. 

In 4 burnout

I drove it across the state to a friends place to help him pick up a new car (Supercharged Miata), and kept staring at it to find any issues, but I honestly can't find any fault besides a tiny blemish in the paint, I'll have them take a look at that monday to make sure. I told the shop manager that I have big plans for this car eventually and I think they took that seriously. They also gave me a lifetime warranty so I'm really happy.

As for the burnout, I tried that a few weeks ago and even with the traction control off something refused to let the wheels spin. I can try to dig up that video.

Isn't this up for sale?

It is listed right now but I don't anticipate it actually selling for that much, and it doesn't cost me anything to keep it. Some bad stuff is happening at my job and I won't have one beginning of next February, so I listed it just to see if I can get some quick cash at a profit. 

Obviously this means my plans of modding it are on hold until this is straightened out. Not that I want to drive it much during the winter with these crappy tires.

[patsbimmer1]

That sucks to hear man.

[YoungCR]

Yeah bummer hopefully everything will work out to keeping the car.

[Jdesign]

Bummer. I hope you figure everything out.

[Iceddragon]

So its been a while... Nothing really changed, got to meet the infamous Mr Spence in person to grab some parts off him and I bought a dual cone intake for the car last week, but haven't installed either because its too damn cold now. (I really need a garage)

Took the car on its final trip this weekend to hang out with some friends and its basically parked now unless I decide to go sliding in a parking lot during the first snow. 

Oh and needless to say still have it and did not sell it, I just love it too much. I had it listed for $14k and every time someone messaged me about it the price went up to $15k. The car just suits me, not sure what would make me actually sell it.

I did make an instagram for the car to match the plates so I can catalog the build next year someplace besides this forum, I just have to remember to keep it updated now.
