financial success is just beating me up. Seeing my car go this weekend is very symbolic in a way. me being forced to sell it has certainly began to infuriate me. Hopefully, I will be so pissed that I make a radical change in my life and either start my own business or get in with a company that has their shit together. I have been in some bull- low level salary for the past two years with no raise, no bonus, no mileage and no health insurance.

thank you for the compliments guys. I tried my best to make a site deserving of such a beautiful car.

I promise that i will be back most likely with another E38 7 series. This time, I will have the $$ to keep the beast running to my liking and have another car too (for sudden expansion tank and water pump failures lol).

Here are some pictures I dug up from when I first bought it from the PO who lived in downtown Chicago..









And my favorite shot...
