Default Going a different direction

I decided to go a different direction for my track car, and I just "won" an '01 E46 M3 on EBay. No sunroof, manual seats, and minimal options - it s/b a good track car. I s/b heading down to Austin to pick it up Saturday....can't wait!

Looking good Chris! Many congrats

Is that a 3 car garage? I'm running out of garage space too so I leave my "worst" car outside. Normally it's my suburban, even though its an 2013!

Thanks! Yes, it's a 3 car garage, though I've contemplated trying to squeeze 4 in temporarily (maybe if I put the S on rollers?)

Chris, trust me it never ends I went from a two car garage to a four. And I'm still running out of garage space!

Good luck with your sale(s) of your car. Nice rides too

My garage, which I was previously very happy w/ how it turned out, suddenly looks very inadequate!

Yes, that's a 911 Turbo (looks like a 996).

Indeed. You can determine if it's a 996 vs. a 997 from the rear (as opposed to the obvious headlamps) because the line where the bumper meets the rear quarter panels. If the line runs along the bottom of the taillight, it's a 996. IF the line runs across the top of the taillights, it's a 997.
