man I can't wait to see this thing up and running.
Just to add to Rex's story, I thought I'd share how I found this car for him...
My buddy Eric and I decided to drive his unregistered E30 to advance auto for some parts back when it had multiple colored body panels. Well as we're sitting at a light we see 2 state troopers coming out of the shopping center. At the same time our light turns green, and we're pulling into the lot shaking in our boots. Of course, the cop pulls a U-turn and follows us into the parking lot. We try and get out before he turns his lights on, but that never happens... 45 minutes later, and a very very confused cop, we leave with a ticket and court summons.
(long run-on sentance ahead) See, Eric bought the car from his boss, who stuck some plates on the car from an old honda accord he used to have, which was registered in Williamsburg, but his boss lived in Richmond, Eric's license was addressed in Lynchburg but he lives in Richmond, we were in Powhatan, trying to explain that the car was garaged in Powhatan while it was being worked on, and we had just purchased the car even though it had been several months.
Anways, the cop took the license plates and told us we had to get the car towed home. I had seen some of the good ole' boys with a huge pickup and trailer pull into the local Wendy's a few minutes before. I had the crazy idea to go into Wendy's and find them. 15 minutes and $40 later, we had the car on their trailer headed home. Come to find out, Bubba (as we'll call him) has a friend nearby (Williard or something like that) who also has "one dem BMW's he might sell ya."
Hmmm... I'm in the truck, Eric is sitting in his E30 ON the trailer (to hold the brake down- why? Bubba thought it was a good idea?!?) I'm thinking to myself how much do I really need ANOTHER parts car. Ah fuck it, we go check it out later that day.
The car is sitting between 2 trees, buried in all kinds of shit (see pic above) and we almost buy it. At this point I'm desperatly trying to finish my E30 to get it ready for Hyperfizzle. I pass on the car but know that someone in MM would take it. Long story short, well you know the rest! GO REX!
