I'd be worried about something like that getting jacked up. Especially considering all the attention the truck gets, and this is a friggin' BMW. :?

Ultimately I would like to daily it once a week at least. There isn't jack shit to be stolen inside of it unless someone wants a ripped Metallica shirt that says 'METAL UP YOUR ASS'. It can't be hotwired, so I don't see anyone really fucking with it unless someone backs a tow-truck up to it and hitches it away. I wouldn't silence a thing, that is for sure.

Getting emissions isn't a problem... the cost of it is, and every check I get is gone before it even hits my account. Plus it is expensive, and I don't know if I want to shell it out for only 6 months before it expires again (my bday is in February, and it is already August)... so idk. But I may need to get the car fixed and tagged regardless, so who the fck knows. I'm trying to work things out.

I'm probably not driving at Turner because it will be too expensive for me. I've already donated my money and I think I would rather shoot video instead.

I don't know.. I think a modified BMW with no stickers would probably be okay downtown.. There's a lot more BMWs downtown than bro trucks and such.

Andy.. figure out the cost of emissions for 6 mo vs. gas for the truck and see where you end up at.. that can probably help ya decide.

Yeah... that is true. It will end up being more than just the emissions though... because I'm going to have to fix whatever is broken, and it sounds expensive haha. But gas for the truck issssssss insanely stupid expensive.

I bet an axle is brokes... but if it's the diff again.. since you decided that you won't be drifting until other things are handled.. i'm sure Greg wouldn't mind hooking you up with a stock E46 diff for the low since he works at SG.

all I have are open E46 housings, the LSD housing and outputs are beefier. IFYI the LSD housings have a white S stamped on them.

Dude mopeds are probably hotter targets that andy's truck and BMW combined. There's been a HUGE crime spree of them lately.

Wait, what's the problem; parking it on the street? Is it dangerous where you work or something? Fahgettaboudit wouldn't be enough?
