I'd say get a cheap beater for the time being...save your money for the M3.

If anything does happen to break in the year or so you'll have it, the Accord would be a lot cheaper to deal with than the BMW...

I actually don't agree with that statement. Sure at the stealer the bimmer will be more to fix, but parts for the straight six cars are extremely reasonable...and if you need recommendations and where to order parts I can surely help.

For a cheap beater you could move back a few years and get a e36 328 for under $8k drive it for a year and still probably sell it for near 8k.

I've read these might be noisy, but I like the price point:

Needs a winch.

And some lights.

And meatier tires. BFG Mud Terrains or Goodyear MTRs.

I hate white trucks, though...nevah again.

It'll go up 7-10 inches.

Warn winch.

Going to need something bigger than 37's.

Explorer Pro Comp will be taking care of the light situation.

At the price I got it at, it might not stay white very long.

Steve, what do you think of this as a get me by for a year?

$63 ever 4 days in gas isnt cutting it.  Keep this for a year, keep saving for the M3 and have it by summer '07

I think it's a lot better than just a "get me by for a year" ...

$480 / month on gas is getting up there.

i like the scion Tc's more than the accords,  especially if its just a car for transportation

I'm not the biggest fan of the tC. Mommy drives one and it's so damn small for me, I have to lean the seat pretty far back so my head doesnt touch the roof.

Good thing I ditched last class, came home just in time to receive a special package from mr. ups

Sweet truck Steve, good luck on the woman not killing you

Nice bimmer Justin.

Thanks.

She'll get over it once she realizes that she can finally drive a truck.

Ok here they are, bad light this time though So these are easily the worst pics I've posted...

So happy together......

Teh guts. This is by far the prettiest PCB material I've ever seen, its coating makes it uber shiny. Note the separate transformers for input/output stage and DAC circuitry.

God that is sexy.

Very pretty.

nice pics Evan
