Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Yeah, E30 M3s are getting ridiculous. A friend of a friend just bought a silver one out of southeastern CT for like 25k... all original.
Stefan, I have your 8.8. It's in pretty damn good shape, comes with a 1330 flange adapter (I can get a 1310 one pretty easy if you don't want to run a 1330 1310 adapter joint) and the discs are in reasonably good shape, they aren't rusted over because the donor was a recent delivery. Came out of a 96 for parts reference, 4.10 LSD, it's got some scale on it but the backing plates are still intact and even unbent to give you an idea of how not-rusty this is for an 8.8. It was missing the cover, if you want a stock tinfoil cover I'm sure I can find you one but I'd really suggest a ruffstuff cover anyhow. I didn't see any dirt or gunk in the diff, pretty sure someone pulled the cover to check ratio then didn't have time to get the axle before I did. Sucks to be them.
Since when did you know anything about BMWs? :laugh2:

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Been researching on the interwebs. Might be the first decent car I buy. I like the 330I ZHP (4 doors) a lot, but at that point, it may be worth it to pony up and go for the E46 M3. Haven't driven anything BMW besides Dan's old E30 325e so who knows.
$25k is reasonable if everything is in good shape. There was some teacher at my HS that DD'd an E30 M3. I remember wanting that car bad before I knew a thing about them.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I just had no idea you even cared about them. My buddy Jeremy DDs an M42 (4cyl) brilliantrot 91 E30 with a 5 speed and LS diff in the summer. I refuse to get a car like that because I know I will end up in a coffin or a jail cell.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Anyway, some observations on clothes shopping (I don't go usually, Angel buys all my stuff) from last night:
-Finding a couple of the same sized stuff is hard.
-Lots of young moms with fat kids running around. I mean seriously how the heck does a kid that isn't even 3' high yet have a belly? Not just one or two, dozens of them.
-One store will have one Large shirt making you check 3 more to get another one that matches.
-Clerks are dumber than rocks and can't add $39.99 to $39.99, so they'll "discount it" to $79.98. Yeah, you read that right.
-Lots of fat little kids. Really that bugs me, get off the couch and go outside to play.
-"Free WiFi" but you must signup for a store CC. Wait, NO!
-Loud, annoying, punk or emo music over speakers at stores I thought were not like that (Macy's, JCPenny, Sears, etc).
-I am really glad I don't go clothes shopping more often.
Really? Seems to me your limited on routing it vs the wires can go anywhere. IDK.

That was "marked down" from $68 each. Really? Who actually buys a pair of pants at full retail? Plus how is a pair of pants $68?
Haha, pants for the wedding. I didn't want to spend that much on just pants.

Not clothes shopping.
I got to hardware stores, lumber yards, fake lumber yards (HomeDepot, Lowes), and the occasional food or bar. Besides that I don't do much shopping.

So what you're saying is that you've got no excuse as to why you haven't updated your GJ thread about your shop? :gee:

It's not genetic, but it sure is inherited. And we are ****ed.
Part of the problem is that the number of fat cells a baby ends up with is dependent on how fat the mother is during pregnancy. Literally, fat mothers set the kids up to be fat in the future when those fat cells fill up.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
what bothers me is the family of 6 and every child has an iPad they are playing with during dinner. the family doesn't have any conversation, the parents just sit there while the kids play on their iPads.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I mean, I know some people have an issue. That's ok. But I think the people that have issues is a very small percentage vs the people that are just lazy and eat junk for food. Disclaimer: No facts to back that up.
Or shove it in the kids face at the market, after school, while on the phone whatever to make them be quiet.
They are so overstimulated with those things that "normal" stuff like going outside and seeing wildlife if boring unless is it drama-ed-up on TV.
Been busy working on it. I gave up on that thread.
Yeah. Lazy.

Nah, I like my mattress on the bed thanks.
Exactly!

Bill, got any recommendations for garage floor epoxy?
I'm gonna have a bit over 2.5 car space to do, plus I'll probably do the basement with any leftover.
