My Z3 for alittle bit
My brother recently purschased a Z3 here in california, but he lives in New York currently, he will be moving here soon. But its mine to take care of until he returns sometime in september, or august. Also funny thing, i had been babying the car for a week, limiting myself to only 50 miles or so, i actually ended up with 40 or so. he comes in for the weekend, and in one day put on over 200 miles.
I think thats a classy pic
Another B+W
a top view of the interior
a pic of the ass o yea.
Im currently waitin for the registration tags to come in, and i will take some more scenery style pics. I hope you all will enjoy those.

its the 2.5, its good though, i think im to inexperienced at stick for a 3.0 to much torque for a begginer stick driver. But ive mastered stick basically. i live on a big ass inclined hill so i learned when i come up that hill. You better learn out here or you will be in a rollback accident.

the incline on my hill is like 30 degress or something. i got so pissed once because i have a routine i make enough energy so when i hit my slanted inclined driveway, i can just keep alittle eqaul gas and clutch and get into the garage where i just put the car into nuetral. But one night this ass in a damn dakota messed it all up for me, he slowed down when i was waiting for him to turn and i was not to good with stick yet, so i knew i wasnt doing right by my clutch, i could smell the tell tell signs of the burnt clutch. but it wasnt to bad, I have a friend who had a WRX after one of his 5K drops i know what a badly burnt clutch smells like. Whats the average amount of time it takes you guys to leave a stop? it takes me about 3-5 seconds is that good? I know some guys can do it as soon as the light turns green.

i like this interior over the aluminum finish.
I have video of me revving the engine to 4k RPMs, and letting off, you can hear the Gurgle of the exhaust note. i love that. Some times i drive down the street in 1st take it too about 5500 rpms, and let off just so i can hear the exhaust note.

I've been driving stick since I got my first car. Its to the point where its not even something I think about, I just do. Its like breathing.
Eventually you wil lget that used to it, and once you do you will love yourself for it.
