History
Well my car and I go way back, I can almost remember our first adventure, the day I was brought home from the hospital some 23 years ago... When I was 18 my Pops coughed up the keys and I was off. Some 5 1/2 years later she is a different animal that I cherish with all my being. This being my dads first car he cherished it as well and took excellent care of her from day one. No accidents ever, redone interior, new paint, oldskool Centra wheels, Alpina steering wheel, and 5-speed all before I was in the 2nd grade. She has been garaged kept 90% of her existence, and maintained to the fullest, my dad being the mechanic. After 254k miles she had enough, and got her rebuild complete in June of 2001, she is now a rev happy M10 that loves to be driven hard, and is my daily driver! |
