I drove the car a lot for the first few months, loving that I actually owned a fabled ///M car. Luckily all I had done to advance in that direction was buy the car, and it was then that I remembered that I still had to replace my old mustang. Shortly after getting the car I did some hard thinking about doing a drift school and decided that I would have to charge my friends way too much to make it worth my time. In retrospect, I should never have taken the car, but in spite of him being a somewhat less-than-honest guy about several things, he did mail the title and I became the clear and complete owner of a 98 m3 sedan. It was also missing a bunch of stuff he said it came with ("Couldn't find that." "those wouldn't fit." "uhhhhh." ) including the title. I'll forego the frustrating part where he never showed up and didn't answer his phone because he decided to drive down to san diego instead and figured he would drop it off on his way home. He was going to drive to San Diego in a few weeks and could just fly home.

There weren't too many 4-door, rwd manuals that weren't $$$ but I heard that there was a short-run on e36 sedans and, knowing that they drift pretty well, I looked for one of those.įound one on a forum in San Franscisco, and ended up working out a deal with the guy that seemed perfect. We had started our family so I figured while i was at it, I should find a 4-door in case I wanted to haul the kid(s). The s13's are too weak stock, and there are no smog-legal options I know of to remedy that so I broadened the search net. First things first, I need to get a car! I figured I'd get another s13 to complement mine, but I figured I might as well get something street legal that I could drive around when I wanted to. I would only do it for friends, and it might help promote my young career. I was okay with this, but still yearned for a cool little car to drive around instead of my truck.Ībout that time, I came up with the idea of starting a drift school that would piggyback on the stunt driving school I had worked at for a decade. Well, a bit of marriage advice, replace it first.Īs time passed, any mention of getting another car was met with increasing skepticism. It did, but just barely, so I decided to sell it, but told my new wife that I had every intention of replacing it soon.

After a year of suffering with that underpowered, no-turn-radius yet glorious-sounding animal, I bought a grey-market s13 and retired the GT to daily driver status.Īfter a few years of driving it around and liking it as a daily, it began to not want to pass smog.
I ended up with a 96 sn95, which was probably the single worst car I could have bought to accomplish my goal.

I was a young buck and started to catch pieces of this new thing called "drifting." I gathered all of my pennies and dimes and looked for a cheap manual rwd car that would be powerful enough to drift and reliable enough for me to drive to and from the track. Like a good story, this one started many moons ago.
