Karen_M_Topless stopped by today on her way home from Detroit after picking up another BMW; this one, a 1988 model E-30 M3. Clean-clean!

Karen and Jack need to have a "Classics" Race.

Hey, thanks everybody! I can't believe the power and speed of the Internet -- you guys knew about this before I got home! :)

We made it safely back to TX tonight and fortunately, there was no rain today (lots of rain yesterday from Detroit to Nashville), but I did have an interesting run-in with a TN state trooper just outside of Memphis, so now the car is fully broken in with me and I hadn't even owned it for 24 hours when he stopped me. LOL!! I am thankful that it was only a verbal warning, but I truly believe he was more interested in the car and where it came from (still had the MI plate on and I had to show him all kinds of sales & title paperwork and my temp tag. Sheesh!) than my violation because I wasn't speeding when he pulled me over and then he was trying to tell me that I was following someone too close (he was really grasping here! -- I had no violation!), which I politely explained to him that especially on this trip, I was NOT following anyone too close for fear of rock chips on that nice, perfect front end! LOL! Again, I think he wanted to stop me because of the Michigan plate and the car.

I'll post more pix soon. I might have the car at this Saturday's meet, but then again, I may hold everyone in suspense and debut it at the next Cars & Coffee on 8/29. ;)

Gee, I guess I need to update my signature file now, eh? I'll work on that, too.

I think an E30 M3 is next on my list of cars to own.

Thanks! And hey -- just give me 4 years and the car will be 25 (it will qualify for the special plates!). Then it will be a classic! :)

Thanks anyway, but I'm afraid I would have to have way too much handicap due to my hp embarrassment and elderly driver reaction time!!

Karen if you hold out (skip showing this at the DFWAC first) for Jealopies & Java you will be banned. :dontknow:

:hmmmm2: Well, I would not want to be BANNED! Oh noooooooooo!!! So I might have to reconsider, but ONLY if there is a guarantee of no rain. :D

The most rain this car has ever seen in its whole 21 years was on the drive between Cincy and Nashville on Monday. I tried to avoid it, but Mother Nature just didn't cooperate. For a garage queen and concours prospect, less rain = cleaner engine = less I have to clean. :)
