It's brand new construction and there weren't really any other options in order to build the house. I sacrificed a sloped driveway for a massive backyard for the kids.



That was the original plan until my buddy who is on air couldn't get in even fully aired up.
Park it in the street with a car cover? Unless you're really looking to get something else and using it as an excuse lol. What would you get for your next car?

I'm thinking it might just be old age that is making all these car seats feel uncomfortable and it's possible that even the E36 seats would seem uncomfortable to me now even though I loved them 15 - 20 years ago.

Thanks so much for the kind words, Brad. I've had that car for about 15 years now. I'm only the second owner and bought it from the original owner back in 2001/2002 when the car was just a little over 10 years old. I originally bought it to replace my E36 M3 as a track day car, but then I moved to CA shortly afterwards and didn't have the case to get it properly set-up for the track. It's now a 4th car, so I don't even drive it much anymore and have mainly kept it since it keeps increasing in value and I can get classic car insurance on it (which only costs me about $300/year). It runs great but the suspension is all original and is in need of major work. I have a full Intrax coil over set-up on the way for it and also a full set of Elephant Racing suspension bushings to rebuild the entire suspension set-up. Once I finish installing the Air Lift suspension on the G then that will be my next project. Can't wait to see how well this thing handles with a fresh suspension set-up on it instead of a 26 year old set-up.

Beautiful car with some very unique touches. Great job!


Really loving that custom front fender work. I had my rear fenders widened a couple of years back and have been considering having the front fenders done with custom ducts. Was thinking of something more like what's on the Lexus ISF, but I really like what you've done with yours.


Oh, and that cell phone holder!!! What kind of holder is that?


You definitely need to spend more time on this forum so we can see more of your car!

If you can tell I am getting old from just my posts, then it must be official. Damn. I was hopeful that the time had not come yet where I have to consider myself old. The good news is that eventually I will be so old that I forget how old I actually am. So there's that.

In that picture the rear was lower by 3/4". I had just finished installing the coil overs. Now the height is the same sitting at 25" from the ground to the top lip of the fenders.
