Well that sucks. Hope you heal quickly. I don't need to see an xray.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you're healing and this setback doesn't hold you back. There is life after Army.

As epic as this thread has become, the e21 is long gone, so it may be time to put it to bed. 16 pages? :shock:

edit: Make that 17 pages. :hijack:

Probably due to prior damage from all that power shifting in the e21 whilst beating 5.0 mustangs. Better be a bit more careful in that new rocket ship.

I noticed that too! Maybe this is the reason the US cars didn't come with velour. We know how those Mexicans love their beans :shock:

Shit son, pop some Bmw Roundels on that hooptie and roll! Front wheel drive is o.k., but only in snowy parking lots while going in reverse with the parking brake fully applied. Enjoy.
Now, something seems to be missing from this thread lately and I just can't put my finger on it. :dunno:
