i found out that the m3 guy died due to wreckless driving because he was drinking that night.

I tell people that all the time. This is another reason why I like having a 6 speed b/c sometimes you need to have a little more control of your vehicle, not to say you can't in an automatic. I always pay attention the the 6-10 cars in front of me to see who is slamming on brakes and those cars on the side of me that are not paying attention to themselves or others

People need to know when enough is enough, and to be a man(or woman) to admit when they are to drunk to drive home. I bet it would suck to be a drunk driver and have an accident and you survived but the people in the car you hit did not.

OMG I'm not going to name a specific vendor on here but I ordered my rims almost 3 weeks ago and they still are not in. They are not custom wheels. I ordered them and they said they had to get tires from the east coast and it would take them 3-4 days to get them. Then 3-4 days turned into 5-7 days whiched turned into 10 days. After the 10 days they said they got everything in (on the 9th day), and they were shipping them out that same day or monday. Well monday no tracking update, so I call, they said they were going out that day (monday), tuesday not tracking up date. So I called again and they said they were SUPPOSE to be sent out Monday, but they would be shipped today (tuesday). So today (wednesday) no tracking up date, so I called and they said they were SUPPOSE to be shipped, and I told them there is not tracking up date and they said UPS is slow in updating the website, so I called UPS who said they have nothing except the label that was made and the packages were not in UPS possesion. So I called back and the rep was suppose to go check the warehouse to make sure they were shipped and call me back. And that was about noon our time 10 am there time. And now 5 hours later I still haven't heard anything back. What do you think?

That's the first time I've heard of someone having the same birthday as me, very good one indeed. Were you on river road today by any chance? I saw car that looked exactly like yours going the other way.

I can be patient....I don't have a problem with that. What I have a problem with is people giving me the run arounds. If something is wrong let me know. But don't keep telling me one thing and its not getting done.

I actually was a member on Acurazine as well. I drove a 99 TL before my e46 and of course no complaints.

Crazy how many of us were acura owners.

honestly, yeah, i coulda gotten something faster, awd, yada yada, but i didnt wanna downgrade and sacrifice having things like a navi, full leather interior, and that bad ass seatbelt retriever (coolest thing to people who first hop in haha)

the 335i fits perfectly with my preference of true sport/luxury cars

Drinking and speeding... that article made it to a mustang site that I frequent still. Sad indeed but wreckless speeding is just as bad as drinking and most of us know people that wrecklessly speed even in SLOW cars.

Wreckless driving WITHOUT drinking can kill you and others. If he drove like that while drinking I am willing to bet he drove like that all the time. People like him do not belong on the road. The highway is not a controlled area like a track is. Young kids get behind the wheel and don't give a shit who they kill or hurt. It's sad that this happend to the guy but I look at it as hopefully a leason learned for people like you.
