For a while it was all about the rim. If Intemember right no one gave a poo poo about the look of the brakes or calipers until 10 or so years ago. Granted, thin rims weren't as common either.

Upgrading your brakes is a major undertaking and really expensive. Most people just want shinier bigger wheels.

Saw this totally legit M3 on the way into work a few days back. With 30 day tags on it too, half wonder if the guy bought it thinking it was anything other than a 328.

There's nothing in that shot that indicates it isn't an M3 though. The badge might be slightly off.

I've seen that blue Lamborghini motoring up that very same street and I'm guessing that it was his fault running into the side of the other car. All the rich dickheads absolutely fly up Brunswick St as they are coming up from New Farm. The amount of times I've almost had front end of the van clipped coming out of a side street, I've lost count of.

In my experience buying used E36s, you can often find the original headlights and tail lights broken into many small pieces. Those pieces are still on the car, because they got glued into the chunks of seam sealer and bedliner the sketchy bodyshop used to cover up the chain marks and weld seams from when they pulled the unibody straight using a stolen Powerstroke.

Driving home from work today, had a dude fly in front of me from the car-pool lane in his mini-van (of course he didn't have a passenger), I was doing about 70. Initially I was ticked because he cut way too close, but then I noticed that his right front tire was very very wrong. Like pointed the wrong direction for a guy moving right sort of wrong, and had a massive amount of positive camber too. After he moved in front of me (and slowed down of course) I noticed that the right front was leaving a continuous black mark down the road, and smoking from the surface of the tire. I flashed my lights at him a couple times trying to get his attention, but he was oblivious, and probably wouldn't have had a clue what I was flashing for in any case if he had noticed. I followed him for quite a while rather than going around to the right, thinking maybe I could get a cool dash-cam video of the tire failing and the inevitable roll-over as the right front collapsed completely, but he eventually moved to the right and slowed down even more, so I lost interest in the potential crash and passed him. As I was going past I noticed that the left front also had severe toe-in, but not nearly as much as the right side, and the camber looked about normal. He was travelling at 65+ mph this way for another 10 miles or so before I lost sight of him in the mirror, still tooling along in the #2 lane (of 4) on I-10, completely oblivious to the problem as far as I could tell.

Back in April when we left the long Beach grand prix, my friend and I followed a newer 5 series that had a rear wheel wobbling as if it had one lug nut. Dude was doing 90 with no fucks given. People are dumb.
