That's wild... Wish I'd stumbled upon you guys a year earlier.

As you see, we know how to get down! I'm not the only one with an itch for speed.

Get a job, go to school, stop speeding. Seriously, if you have no money to burn it does you no favors to draw extra attention to yourself out on the road. At the very least learn to do it judiciously and not all the time.

/voice of experience.

Zane - good to hear you haven't gotten much saner with the passage of time.

That car was seriously awesome. I still think about it from time to time. It was probably my favorite car from that show. The m5 race car was up there too, though.

You don't need anything even half as fast as this car. You need a Toyota Paseo.

Trust me. Slow down, caleb. Learn where and when to open it up before you end up even more broke or worse.

I don't envy very many people in life, especially for their possessions. But, I am envious of being able to report an experience like this! I can't find the turbo boost knob in my car and it isn't covered in the Bentley.

Zane's E12 is total badass. Always has and always will in my books. One of my all time favorite BMW's. He took it up to a level on its own over a decade ago. Kudos to him!

How funny is this...I happen to come across his feature in the Performance BMW magazine this past weekend. He made the cover too.

This must be the car in question...

Sounds like the car was featured on the front cover of Performance BMW in June, 2006, but their previous issues online stop at February, 2008. Anybody have the photos from that issue? Or at least better photos than what I found at FirstFives?
