So I was cursing around Dc and went through Arlington near the VA memorial yard. I seen a white hatch just chilling in a garage parking lot without tags and like any 240 guy I had to stop and find out about it. The owner said his son bought a BMW about 2 years ago and just let the 13 there. Its a 5 speed, semi clean interior and the only rust was on that hatch under the stupid wing. I made him some off the wall offer and picked it up for under 1k. I got her home, did a full tune up, Changed the oil, belt, a few light bulbs, and she runs like a gem. I then fixed that hatch sanded off some surface rust and now im in the process of priming the spot so I can give her a new paint job. Tomorrow Im heading out to the junk yard to see If I can get this idiot junkyard owner to trade me a gen1 Z for this red hatch I cant seem to give away.

Sweet man! I like how you were cursing around DC. I get frustrated to! :rotfl

Some people as so much $$$ for these it's crazy! Maybe more so it that some people pay so much for these things! You're proof that they can still be found and had for low dollar$. It's great that you already have it running nice. It's in good hands now. Have fun with it!
