<<<<<<<<<<<PICS ADDED>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sorry but this is a pointless iPhone rant thread.
So I have been on the 5 for about an hour and gone about 3 miles.
My wife is driving me to north Hollywood to go buy another M3
This traffic is killing me, I'm so excited about the car and this traffic is between me and an estoril M3/4
Sorry Cali brethren but I needed to vent, since I keep getting irritated with my wife
TC535i 09-19-2008, 06:54 PM LA traffic is 99% timing, you picked the worst possible hour to be on the road...
pics of the new ride or ban
E36HB 09-19-2008, 07:11 PM can you please tell my wife that...........
She fu*king pisses me off. I wanted to leave at 11 this morning
Update I have move about a mile & a Half mile since my last post
raoke 09-19-2008, 07:35 PM Dude the 5 is iffy around 2.. around 3-4 it starts getting packed until the early evening.
The 101 is worse IMO. Where are you at now?
happycamper 09-19-2008, 07:37 PM lol yep 99% timing maybe a little luck at least someone isn't trying to jump off a bridge again

Yup....yup...yup....yup....yup.
Just enjoy the art on the walls for now mang. :)
DaHose 09-19-2008, 08:31 PM When you get to the downtown crush, pull off to the right BEFORE you go past the jail (and down into the downtown crush). Then use the elevated frontage to bypass a lot of that standstill traffic and get back on at the front of the downtown crush area. I wouldn't use Cesar Chavez as that becomes Sunset. That's major suck too. Then 5 over the mountain. Alternately, you could try the Burbank route, but I tend to stick to that nasty downtown route and at least know what I'm getting myself into. Is there a ball game tonight? That would guarantee the Burbank route to SUCK!!!!!!!

Krank 09-19-2008, 08:46 PM :rofl I feel you...every time I go down there, I think about how I couldn't live there just because I can't stretch my car's legs every now and then. That and going one mile in an hour kind of bites...
It bites even more when it's at 1 o'clock in the morning...:shifty
The only reason I might want to go there is for Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. Delicious...

Fucking aaa. Sucks a huge cock
If anybody posts their email address I will email pics of new m3 if they post them
iPhone ftw & FTL at the same time
LAWLence 09-19-2008, 10:43 PM lol yep 99% timing maybe a little luck at least someone isn't trying to jump off a bridge again
dude I saw a person on the stretcher that day when I was on my way up to willow springs. It looked like they jumped off the overpass cause there weren't any smashed up cars or anytthing. Traffic went on for friggin miles.
That M3 sucks, you should have bought my 328i vert :shifty
SC David 09-19-2008, 11:08 PM I like that you're mad at traffic when you're in a car going to buy another car which you're going to drive all the way back. I wonder how many people you're stuck in traffic with are also taking car related trips.
happycamper 09-19-2008, 11:57 PM heres a better one who is picking up a bmw m3/4 today? u should be happy :shifty
You picked a Friday! LOL! Should have known better!
Does it really matter? LA has traffic almost 24/7. Dirtiest, most overcrowded city on the west coast.
moomba 09-20-2008, 03:57 AM After living in L.A. for 16 years, traffic is one of the reasons why I moved to NorCal 16 months ago!
E36HB 09-20-2008, 05:19 AM woo hoo let the rebuild begin................ :buttrock
I got back to huntington beach at about 7:30 had the car dropped off at my work and went straight inside. :(
But on the good note my boss dosent care if I spend my whole night in the parking lot working on the car :buttrock
He is a Bimmerphile too
TIMSGT 09-20-2008, 06:14 AM Does it really matter? LA has traffic almost 24/7. Dirtiest, most overcrowded city on the west coast.
it does matter, if he had left at 11 like he wanted he woulda gotten home by the time he he made this thread. also, if it was any other day than friday at 2:53 the total trip time woulda been cut in half. I used to drive parts all over the city, I'd frequently make commutes from the valley all the way back to anaheim. On friday's the traffic starts way earlier and lasts a lot longer.
happycamper 09-20-2008, 06:15 AM no u don't hate LA we have the cleanest cars
318daily 09-20-2008, 09:07 AM If 2 is a bad time I'd hate to see it during rush hour at 5. Working from home would have to be a necessity if I lived up there. I mean, what's the point of driving a sporty car if you're just going to sit in traffic with it.
Hope you got that Estoril M3 sedan.
SilverBeam 09-20-2008, 02:28 PM Orange County Line to Union Station, Red Line to North Hollywood. Time: about an hour and a half. Cost: about $8 dollars one way. Savings: your mind.
offthewall 09-20-2008, 04:02 PM i was driving down the 5 too last night from OC going towards LA. good thing i switched to the 101 cause when i was going back home.. i saw how big the traffic was. it was literally at a complete stop because someone decided to do construction on a friday night. only 1 lane was open.
Androo000 09-20-2008, 10:09 PM i was the 5 last night too. Theres a construction area that was barely 2 lanes wide with walls on the sides. Some guy, for some reason, stopped his car on the right lane causing a jam. My whale barely squeezed through the left lane, no idea how the trucks did though.
Rated///M 09-21-2008, 12:22 AM are you referring to the crashed estoril m3 on craigslist? the one that was SLAMMED in the front?
E36HB 09-21-2008, 12:50 AM are you referring to the crashed estoril m3 on craigslist? the one that was SLAMMED in the front?
Yup ....Front passenger side hit. The guy was not lying it did start run and drive fine if it wasnt for the bumper on the ground. It's all cosmetic damage. I just got it back from the frame guy at the body shop next to my work........ :buttrock :buttrock :buttrock :buttrock :buttrock :buttrock
And I have been ripping it apart and straightening the metal. :buttrock

This was 10 Minutes after I got her off the Tow Truck
http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/rc_m3/estoril/photo3.jpg
This was her before I sent her to apex autobody this morning so the unibody could be checked out.
http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/rc_m3/estoril/photo5.jpg
Here she is after I started in on her after the body shop gave her back
http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n148/rc_m3/estoril/photo6.jpg
Since the A/C condenser was hit (didnt leak some how :dunno) I will be pulling the whole ac system. I guess I have to turbo her too....right :shifty
E36HB 09-21-2008, 01:12 AM Oh and the guy gave me a such bitchin' deal
AAA gave me a lot of shit though
AAA FTW & FTMFL :(

Jo@EuroDyne 09-21-2008, 01:30 AM i got a four door CF vented hood in the warehouse that's been clear coated already. customer returned it because i sent him a mislabeled box...the box did say it was for a 2 door! =) oh well, my loss and probably your gain. i'm dumping the price on it big time if you want it. hope this may be an incentive for you to like LA again...=)
E36HB 09-21-2008, 05:28 AM Thaks Jo,
PM me the price... I think Jim looked into one from you guys for me.
Just let me know ;)

I took the train up Friday night. Never stopped once :stickoutt It was an hour and fifteen minutes from OC up to Burbank, with a stop at Union Station.

Jump on it, Remo. Jo will take care of you with that hood. I suggest you dont paint it though.:shifty
Jo,
take care of Remo.
Do eeeet.

smart choice! where are the stations around OC? im pretty new down here.

If the price is right Im all over it....
I have a line on one for 270.00 shipped that has scratches,which dosent really matter since the body shop next to my studio uses all of our parking spots during the day. Since we let them do that they fix, or paint our cars when necessary, free of charge. So that may be the route I'm headed down. I will be on a trip down your way soon though... I need a bumper and some Lights. Asap. F*ck shipping your too close. I just need to do it when I can borrow my wife's car. My silver car has no split seats in the back and the 325i is getting a new exhaust manifold so its not driveable ATM.
and of course Im leaving it carbon :buttrock:buttrock:buttrock:buttrock
carbon fiber on estoril...............FTMFMFMFMWWW
digitaldragon03 09-21-2008, 06:35 PM The traffic last night on the 5 North from SD to OC at midnight was awesome btw. LA blows.

Now were just waiting for the body parts to arrive so I can put her together.
