Sad day...

The ack is sold

Kid is picking it up this weekend. So i have about 3 more days of looking at her. She's been off the road since September, and i took her out the other day for alittle test drive to get ready for sale. Man am i gonna miss her!


Now to focus on the new rides ... 1996 BMW 328i and 1998 BMW M Roadster

i know i'm gonna regret this move

Yep, you'll regret it once your dashboard catches fire in the Bimmer. Don't you still have the Olds 442?

it was a 98 w/80k on the clock .. already on its second tranny, which has about 68k on it. didnt want to go thru that again. Since it was a salvage title, i ended up getting just over $5k for it.

The 442 was sold over the summer when gas went sky high b/c it got 12mpg.

one good thing for all you people is i do have a nice big box of spare parts i will be tossing up here for sale when i get some time (week or so), so keep a look out.

wasnt looking for a 3.0, so its ok. i dont like driving automatic, stickshift is much better.

BMWs are chickie cars. Have fun. They are pretty, and I would say the M. Why would you want an older whip than what you had, unless it were a worth while classic like a 442. Good luck, and be sure to tell the new owner to look up ACURAZINE.

in my opinion, i rather have a BMW than a benz...in my experiences they have been the better car, i dont know about you guys. I was actually searching for a 96-99 M3 to replace my CL, but those damn things retain value like crazy so they were too expensive for me

Although I would be a little sad to let a 442 go, but the handling on that M roadster will MORE than make up for it.
