Are we talking the drug dealer or the guy who supplies the drug dealer (in the 80s).

If the drug dealer has a car, this is what the dealer might drive (note, add blacked out windows, maybe lowered on gold dayton rims):

Keep in mind, most of these guys are usually on foot in major metropolitan cities. Its only in smaller cities where you would buy drugs from someone in a car (the license plate makes it far too easy to identify who your dealer is and where they live).

Now the guy who supplies him might have a nicer car, but the guy who supplies his suppliers probably has something "ballin" (think S Class benz, probably armored, do a google image search for "ballin car" and you will see what I mean).

$205 million USD and $2 million in Mexican pessos, all hidden in the walls of his house in Mexico. One of the casinos in Vegas paid for the car in full. According to the DEA he dropped $129 MILLION gambling in Las Vegas. One of the biggest whales in Vegas history.

Mike, "China-man" is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

in the eighties my ex-F-I-L wasn't making enough as a neurosurgeon so he manufactured meth on the side.

He usually drove one of these:

But had one of these in the garage for special occasions:

He spent eight years at club fed for it. :roll:

You want a toe? I can get you a toe. I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock. With nail polish.

Yeah, didn't every BMW buyer in the '80s want their car to look like a K-car?!

You waited 2 1/2 years and that's the best you could come up with?

I didn't wait. The spammer that I so kindly pointed out to your team with multiple links dredged it up to talk about bullshit. I was reading through the thread and noticed his use of the term "China-man." I happen to like that particular film.

With the rear spoiler painted the same color as the car and the BBS gold wheels, my Hartge would be ready for a Miami Vice guest star role.

I saw this e34 at the yards recently. It probably has an interesting back story.

If the guy is not a US citizen, then he's not Asian-American. So what is he?

Chris M had a set at one point a few years back. He threatened to put them on the //M524td, but I don't think he ever did.
