My Car is Fixed!

[octothorpe]

For those that don't know, I race my daily driver (I also used to race a vintage Jaguar MkII, but I sold it about 2 years ago –and regretted it e'er since). Racing puts some serious stress on your car, and within the last couple of months, my front axles developed a horrible clicking noise whenever I turned the wheel, and applied the accelerator. I *also* needed to adjust the camber of my wheels, as they were seriously out of whack, since the new springs have settled.

Well, all of that got fixed this morning. New axles, A-arms, and camber kit, with poly bushings!. Life is so much better. I can't wait to abuse the new kit on the twisties!

The 95 M3 was leased (what they didn't know, didn't hurt them), I had an accident and lost that lovin' feeling and sold it.

But the real reason was that the damn thing couldn't pass a service ramp without pulling in. After 4 years, it got old, very old.

It was all part of my 'master plan' to take advantage of the theoretically high book value of the car. I bought it from BMW and promptly turned around and put it up for sale. The high Bluebook turned out to be more smoke than substance. I ended up just about breaking even.

To be honest, the car looked great, ran decently most of the time, but I find that I don't miss it.
