History
Bought the car after being in a horrific 100-0mph accident totalling my Saab 9-5 Aero, got this car because I always said I'd have another one, it came up for sale for $2,200 running and driving. That's about all it did. Plus it was cabrio and had 90's 16" M package wheels. I sold my Rolex GMT Master to my uncle and bought the car. Since then, I've almost covered everything except rear rubber and a stereo and center support bearing. (Inspected to manual specifications and passed as O.K.) This is my dream car and I will one day convert it into an E30 M3 cabrio body to run an M or S50/52 motor and officially "M" it out.
