2007/335i/e90/n54, about to put the first upgrades
Can you believe I bought this car on *bay? I won, but what's next?
They wanted earnest money, so I flew out there to test drive it first.
"Oh yeah, the tires are great, drive it to Atlanta? No Problem" on the phone.
I walk in the door, unexpected, next day! "Uh, sure, take a test drive if you...want"
All 4 tires were showing steel cords! I went to nearby tire dealers until I found
one who could do the rubber AND 4-wheel align & frame check next day!
Yeah, another $1000....
Got a phone call, "Where the **** are you??? We're about to report the car stolen!!!"
"I'm getting tires, I'll be back in 30...."
It was a little used car lot in Manhattan Beach. They had Ferraris, Maseratis,
Porsches, all really good models, but older. There was a 12 cyl Mas with the
hood up and heads off in front of the door. Even so, I closed the sale, got tires,
took off to GA on the southern route, I-10. I will not say I had it on cruise
at 140 in W Texas, that never happened. Nor did I get passed by a cattle truck
full of longhorns at that speed! I'm too risk-averse for all that....
