    You have to park it in the garage because thats where your oil catch pan is located so the oil leaks on the pan and not on your driveway.

    Hahaha i really laughed at this, since any time i want to open the pass door, i unlock it from the trunk instead of going all the way around to drivers side cause pass side lock doesnt work.



    -When you are sitting in your car and a buddy wants to put something in your trunk, then he stands there until they get angry for you to "pop it"
    -When you park far away from the storefront to make sure no fat lazy people door you.
    -When you pass another on the road and get the ole "hey buddy, nice car" wave
    -When you have slept in the back seat of your 2 door to make sure the sketchy neighborhood you parked in doesn't get the best of her. I've actually done this

    Some E30s
    When you either leave late or early while driving somewhere. Leaving early means you can take the long way and leaving late gives you a reason to drive a bit quicker.

    when you smack your dash to get the lights to work

    If the car could show facial expressions, i'm pretty sure it would be saying
    "Yeah. . .I know, I'm a badass"

    Dreaming of a 2002
    When you spend 2 weeks trying to figure out why it quit running. Then the day you deciede it's your last try to get it running before hauling it off, it starts and then you begin thinking of what to get it next.

    OMG 17s? Those are so huge and baller and omgwtfbbq. What if you had 15s on that E30?!?

    Who cares about the wheel diameter? The 7 is a boat of a car, the E30 isn't. Wheel diameter has nothing to do with it. Plus 17" wheels are pretty damn cheap.

    btw, the word is only.

    When after two weeks of buying the car you find one morning that one of your elliptical lights is broken and you say to your self "Pshaw, no problem!" Then you go online to buy a new one and you find out that it cost more than $100 bucks and then you feel the punch in your gut and start to sweet while your inner voice asks you "What the Fu*** did you get your self into?!"

    You know you drive an e30 when you wonder why everyone else needs a car that damn big...and you wonder why other cars can't steer with the throttle because it's so convenient.

    My wife thought the (dead) light button on my key was for unlocking the car. I told her it was for summoning the BMW fairies (AKA tow truck).

    "Pop the trunk." Tee hee hee. Wife asked me to do that at the airport...

    She also immediately knew it was me...the little red car going 3x faster than every other car in the departures lane...I love that feeling!
