    Nice buy, amazing how just restoring the wheels changes the look of the car.

    Yes. It's been Gimp'd (similar to photoshop but 100% less expensive). I used it to widen the license plate area to fit my european plate.

    Yeah, been there and will be there again. Not looking forward to it, but then again there is no income tax here so, it's all good.

    Texas - No income tax, car sales tax is 6.25% $800k houses 12 miles from the east side are $400k 12 miles from Austin, and a bit less rain. Unfortunately, I love WA. so went a bit off topic. :)

    If you double park like that, you deserve it. :)

    Why are people that park nex to you "Yahoo's" (and by the way it should be "Yahoos")?
    Is it because you feel you are better than other people? Not looking for a fight, but asking a legitimate question.

    Congratulations on getting the car. :)

    Get a Ferrari, park like schnazzy explained and return to your car with another beside yours so close that you cannot open your door completely. Never mind scuffs, scratches and door dings.

    Some people intentionally inconvenience themselves for the sole purpose of inconveniencing others and damaging their property. These jerks are everywhere.

    I find it hard to believe you didn't understand that.

    I had enough room to get in my car. I parked within the lines. It's just of the 3 rows in the area, this was the farthest from the door and I parked 3/4s down the row to give like 18 other spots (total) for others. When I walked out, 1 of the 18 spots were taken and these yahoos parked next to mine. I purposely parked "way out there". There is really no logical reason they parked next to me as there were a dozen and a half other spots. They could have also parked one spot over on either side. Anyway, just weird stuff.

    I have seen people with their huge lifted trucks or their very nice sports cars (corvette as an example) do an angle over 2 lines. Honestly, if you have a 300 car parking lot and 100 never get used, sure, park out at the far end and angle, but don't angle in the first few spots. Most of the parking around me has extra spots. ok, that's enough of that.

    Jakuzzi, if that didn't clear it up... basically, I left ~18 spot open closer to the door. I was there maybe 15 min. I come out, 4 cars more in the lot, 2 in spots directly next for no reason except they wanted to park next to my car. They had much better spots that were closer. Or if they wanted exercise they could have parked farther. Again, I had room. It was just goofy.

    Congrats on the 355- looks great!!! Also show how much bigger the cars are getting- a first gen M3 would look small next the the new M cars as well :).

    The 355 is artwork, weather by looks sounds feel or smells (prepped leather smells like a coach bag!)
