Drove the E30 M3 today...
So, that's a little weird.

It's the first time I've ever driven that car that I've owned for something like 8 years.

Oh.
Was it everything you've hoped and dreamed? |

I mean, the reality is that it drives like an E30. Especially when my 325 has a full M3 suspension transplant on it. (Which is worth a large fraction of the value of that car.)
And until I rebuild the S14 and put that in, the prime differentiator isn't there. So I'm looking forward to that, but in the mean time, it;'s nice to have this thing usable. Or at least it will be once I have replaced the stupid heater valve that is leaking coolant onto my leg.

The best part of this is that I'm pretty sure that it's the heater valve that I installed in my old white E30 back in 2010 or so. Which promptly leaked on my leg. And which I put into a box and forgot to RMA.
...and which I then found in a box and installed in this car. Sigh.
