Almost 8 years old. Just a pic.

Haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd share this. Waiting for the Craigslist buyer of my old bike to show up.

The old 128 is going strong at 62K miles, 8 years old this Fall. Most dependable car I have ever owned. While strongly tempted by the M2 I do like not having a car payment. Maybe she'll make it to 10.

Yah, nice one.

Your statement on dependability is for one reason. You own a 128

Mine has been serviced more than a few times, but I'm not sorry.
That ultimate thrust of acceleration as I merge onto a highway makes it all worth it.

People behind me quickly turn into ants.....

Put my summer rubber on this past weekend.... can you tell.

Eibach springs and Koni FSD shocks. It's a subtle lowering, looks a bit more in the pic maybe because of the shadows.

NO RUST! You'll get 20 years easy out of her.

I noticed you are running Style 264 wheels - Are they staggered or same size?
