The first principle is that you must not fool yourself - you arethe easiest person to fool.
The first brewery in America opened in 1642 in Hoboken, New Jersey
As I wait patiently for my shiny new Beemer to arrive, I thought it necessary to reflect on how truly awesome my '96 318ti was at one time, even if it has been burnt to a crisp and sold off to salvage. The image you see below represents the ti's true heyday, the year that the car was invited to compete at the IASCA World Finals in Greenville, SC. The year was 1999, and the amplifiers in the trunk were polished brighter than the wheels. For some reason I doubt I will ever have a trunk that looks like that again. But who knows.
My search for a pre-owned 330ci somewhere in the New Jersey region has come to an end. It didn't seem likely that a black on grey manual trans. would show up anytime soon, so I placed an order for a brand spankin' new 325i. Black Sapphire Metallic, Sport Package, Premium Package, Xenon Lights ... I'm getting giddy just typing about it. I'll have the car sometime in mid-October, which is a hell of a long time from now. Patience.

Well, I thought the day would never come. My beloved 1996 BMW with 160,000 miles has finally bit the dust. Not because the engine died. Not because something has worn out that's too expensive to fix. The reason is that Prestige Auto Body in Fort Lee New Jersey does not know how to fix cars.
Back in May, some guy in a mini-van ran through a stop sign and dented my rear quarter panel. I took the car to the geniuses at Prestige and waited almost two months to get the car back. Two weeks later I was waiting at a red light by my apartment when the driver side tail light bursted into flames. Imagine the sadness I ensued while watching the Edgewater Fire Department put out a fire in the trunk of the car I've had for the past 6 years. I loved that car. Check the photo section soon for some more pics. I see a 330ci in my future.
