Damn! An even better idea!!!

Well, the title of the thread is "how to spot beginner riders.." ...maybe this would help: "I can spot them because 1. They fall over in front of me on Sawmill trying to merge into traffic on their F3 2. They fall over in front of at bike night trying to park their SV 3. They fall over in front of me and in front of my entire group of coworkers waiting outside a restaurant because said beginner was showing off with the "gun it, then grab the brakes" approach on their VFR 4. They run into a curb at 10 miles an hour on their R6 with a chick on the back ... and all but one of these were bikes not even broken in yet. We've all made mistakes, but F... stupid hurts." F3's, VFR's, SV's, R6's are all motorcycles... maybe that helps... and yes, the radiation is a problem.

I'm all about the Porsches Andy... the biggest competitor for the M3 when I bought mine also. I decided maintenance on an M would be enough to keep me busy for now, but... damn get the Porsche!

LOL... pretty pessimistic approach... if you find many women in your life like this, I'd start looking in new places for women I've had a few nice toys in my life (the RX7, motorcycle, now an M3) and they've never gotten me nearly as much (almost none) ass as I'd have "hoped" if I was in the mood for "sex-ploitation".

When I should a fuckload more, proving my lack of life? try 2100+ biatches

I dunno, but my new fucking car did

Yeah guys, I'd think about another RX7 or a Supra or Z06 but that won't work for a business car... I've thought and thought but I'm going to do the one car thing for a while. But otherwise yeah, I hope to make it back to Columbus... I miss the racin' [ 22. July 2005, 11:00 AM: Message edited by: 100 RWHP ]

Thanks Andy, I've been on the forums a while and am pretty well researched. Glad you like yours though, and if the SMG is the only complaint that's perfect. I've had two 5 series and drive one now, guess I'm a BMW prick through and through ahahah... couldn't bother me less. I guess Andy and I will have to be the only two nice guys with M3's you'll ever know. Now just to find an '02 or '03 with black interior, 6spd, 19s, in red, black, or even maybe dark gray... I missed a KICK ASS '03 down here (amazing price and immaculate) by one day, they sold it the day before I called to make an offer... there will be more, and prices will only come down!

Thanks for the input boys... don't worry, there will be no SMG. So many shitty excuses to not have a stick and clutch these days, and I won't have any of them either. And as for the stereotypes, I'll set those straight. Not drive an M3 because of what others might think? Ahh, even for business F it. Daddy drives an bimmer and does just fine in sales. You can dispell a stereotype with one coversation, and NI's customers are 80% repeat business anyways. Instead they'll be like "Hey can we go to lunch in your car? I drove the minivan today and it sucks..." Heh.

Well kids I often thought whenever I did buy the "new job car" I posted about a year ago before I left for the blazing Austin TX, I'd post pics. A guy is supposedly bringing me a check tomorrow for the bike, one half day after I posted it (even more amazingly, this took longer than selling my RX7 did). So I'm in a little bit of shock, was going to simply test the waters on the bike sale. http://austin.craigslist.org/mcy/84927519.html SO... all I can do to make myself feel better is decide what's coming to replace it. It will have four wheels because its so damn hot down here riding isn't even much fun. It's also going to do double duty as my business car, and therefore must have a trunk. This means the car has to be able to take some miles, but the good news is that when I take a sales territory (hopefully back in CBUS next year) the car will be paid for by the company. Pretty sweet setup overall I think. So just for fun, let me know what ya think... I'm thinking.. http://www.m3forum.net/gallery/data/2/1747cnv0001.jpg

You're a bit of a snob, but otherwise well-adjusted. Your bike is the Ducati Monster. Sexy. Powerful. Agile. Italian style in a badass matte black. Of all the test takers, you are most likely to have been hoping for your result to indicate that your bike is a Harley. It isn't. Sorry. You show the potential to become a superior rider, and you need a bike that encourages and rewards your learning. The Harley will just hold you back, and you'll have nagging feelings that something is wrong. The Suzuki SV series is also a good bet, but it wouldn't appeal to you. Far too Common. What a crock... 1000RR is the bike for me. Or a 999, but not a stupid monster. tongue.gif

Glad you're mostly ok. Glad you wore a helmet.

LOL, that's funny as hell and really crappy... but seriously try and kick the car? Hell, one nudge of the wheel by bimmer boy and you're dead, smart move not to. Would have been satisfying as hell though

Wow, she's shooting to unseat Knoxville....

Yeah, those two crack me up!

Glad you're ok Carl... like everyone else has said, sucks messing up a nice Bimmer but finding a 7 like yours would be a lot worse!

'02 F4i My first bike, plenty fast if you wring it out. Ride lots more bikes (GSXR 600, RC51, 600RR) and get back on mine and still love it, enough I haven't switched. Soooo smooth...

Wonder if Sam will know what to do with that extra pedal down there...

Bitchin'

"Very bad mileage" of 30-35 mpg is exactly what my F4i gets LOL. Maybe an average of 12k rpm is related to my decreased fuel economy?

Need me an M3... wrong time of year to buy a car though, prices to high... dammit.

HOLY F this is a funny thread.

He made sure you were ok? Did you tell him you had an extra hole in your ass?
