Today its about 52 degrees out. I decided to take the e21 out for a spin since its been sitting for over a month. I work about 29 miles from home so that would have been a nice run down the Parkway at highway speeds. Well, the battery was dead. I forgot to plug in the battery tender. Oh well. My 2002 is at my dealership for sale. I figured I would check that car since its been about 3-4 weeks since I started that car. She fired right up within a few cranks. DAMN! I took it for a spin down the street for kicks. That is one fun car. I hate to sell it the more and more I play with it. Too bad I have too many cars at this time.
Anyone want a good '75 2002??

Sell the 320i? NEVER!!!!!!! Its that damn aftermarket stereo that kills the e21. The 02 has no stereo. Oh well, I guess I have to keep both.

Actually, the 944 is going. :(
I also have an 80 Firebird Formula that I have been restoring for 5 years. 455 built to 468cid about 450-475hp. Its my high school car and it will never be sold. Too much money invested though! Firebird Project (http://www.jtresto.com/project.html) - Way too many cars and toys!

I said to myself that I will never sell my Cutlass. High school special. Well I had an accident and the engine was on the way to die. I was sad for a couple weeks only. Maybe its not that cool anymore to invest in American cars? Just too many of them around.

Not cool for American cars? I make my living selling them. I am the Internet Sales Manager at a speciality car dealership Future Classics (http://www.futureclassicsnj.com) in Lakewood, NJ. I have been doing muscle cars myself for 16 years. The BMW thing just happened 3 years ago and I never looked back. Must be my German blood.
As for too many cars, how about too many vehicles:
1975 BMW 2002
1977 BMW 320i
1980 Firebird Formula
1984 Porsche 944
1994 Dodge Dakota
1999 Chevy Astro Cargo van
2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4
Plus...
1975 Honda Z50
1976 Harley SS175
1980 Honda CB750k
1981 Honda CB900c
As you can see, I like old Hondas bikes
Wait, theres more... :eek:
1990 Four Winns 205 Sundowner
1999 Yamaha GP1200 Waverunner
AND...
1999 Carmate Car Trailer
Boat Trailer for above Four Winns
8' Utility Trailer
My woman ownes a 1990 Mustang GT and a 2000 Acura TL :help
It looks like a used car dealership at the house! I keep NJ DMV in business with the fleet. :lol

I was waiting for someone to catch that. I have used that line for years and in some signitures on other sites.

I owned that Cabrio in 2004. That was a really fun car and I hated to sell it. I can only have so many cars before the driveway looks like a used car lot. Its that way now. I had 7 in the driveway but I just sold my old pick up so now I am down to 6 cars and a waverunner, which is for sale too. My 2002 is at my job. I am trying to get back down to 3 cars.
