Pick Up and Go

Well my buddy Abheek and I went to pickup the car. Everything went smoothly except one thing. I didn't bother to ask if the Previous Owner had any other keys than the valet key. Oh well, this is a project car for nothing.

Him and I took a short celebratory drive back to his place. I couldn't keep up with his 335 except in the corners. I'm not sure how hard he was pushing it though. Car felt great, a lot less unstable compared to my e30.

We got back to his place and he shot some nice photos of the car before I departed. I decided to do a night drive back home to NC so that I could beat Monday traffic.

Enjoy (These are all with a point and shoot too. You don't want to see my attempt at pictures haha)

Drive on 495 near DC I ran into the first person to acknowledge the car. It was a driver in a slightly modified e36 M3. He sped up after I passed him to throw a wave my way. I threw one back at him.

The drive was pretty mundane, but it was nice to have the radio chugging along. My first full fill up of my newly acquired car was 25.14mpg. Pretty nice for going 70mph from a 4 cylinder with a 4.10 LSD. Better than my 325is at highway speeds.

The rest of the evening went well. I snapped a picture during my pit stop for gas and a little few.
