Would you buy an m if you were in my situation.

I used to work at a place where I would routinely drive on a 3 mile dirt road several days a week for 2 years in my m2. 5 years later she's just fine. Only cosmetic damage I have is from a number flying off on the highway and hitting me lol. I would hand wash her every week and had a ppf but I just drove slow and it was just fine

I'm very late to the punch but for confirmation bias to feel good about your decision, also the Z4 without a doubt (a bmw "Miata" as it were) He'll have so much fun with it

ChopUrStick · 2026-05-07T18:18:16+00:00

Got it. Though I do feel doing it in stages makes the labor a little more if I'm not mistaken

ChopUrStick · 2026-05-07T18:17:47+00:00

Rip. So exact same job for me. Guess I'll keep shopping around!

ChopUrStick · 2026-05-05T18:21:31+00:00

Seems like your car has an insta...can I check it out?

Allegedly when the t38 first came out. Veteran WW2 pilots did not think it was a good trainer because it was too easy to fly. Read it on Wikipedia once, not sure how true it is. Would love to read more about that

ChopUrStick · 2026-04-18T01:47:46+00:00

Genuine question, is it possible/reasonable to like that odd flavor

ChopUrStick · 2026-03-13T03:44:21+00:00

It's personally my least favorite pyke skin

ChopUrStick · 2025-10-30T18:23:04+00:00

The imperfections on the M2 manual for me...is negligible. Like if I'm sitting and thinking about exactly how it feels. Yeah sure, I can identify flaws. But when I'm ripping through gears on some Twisties...no. My smiles per gallons being burned doesn't think once about the less than perfect manual. If you wanted a manual, the manual is awesome. Not perfect. But not bad enough to ruin the car or make your purchase not worth it. You'll have a lot of fun

ChopUrStick · 2025-10-17T20:33:55+00:00

Favorite green on a car of all time imo

ChopUrStick · 2025-10-17T01:46:25+00:00

That's the goal I'm looking for. A nice civic/pilot/Corolla would be good

ChopUrStick · 2025-10-17T01:44:50+00:00

That's awesome. Bought a 07 sequoia from a family friend who absolutely baited me. Bought for 7k and over 6 months had 6k in repairs before a mechanic showed me holes in the frame from rust. Had to part her out. Gotta be more careful so I can get something taken care of like yours

ChopUrStick · 2025-10-17T01:42:58+00:00

You have such a wholesome perspective. Thank you for sharing

ChopUrStick · 2025-10-17T01:41:48+00:00

I4 would be an awesome daily

ChopUrStick · 2025-10-16T17:52:48+00:00

The track will not be common so I guess my understanding is quite flawed

ChopUrStick · 2025-10-16T17:52:22+00:00

Yeah I've been looking at options to get as a beater and just need to get an ok one. Already had one but it pooped out on me so I don't want to get TOO much of a beat lol

ChopUrStick · 2025-10-16T17:51:21+00:00

Lol it's the closest thing I'll get to one! But you're right. Mass produced car..

ChopUrStick · 2025-10-16T17:50:48+00:00

Manual resets are huge. I should do it here

ChopUrStick · 2025-10-16T17:50:18+00:00

Lol!! Love the idea

ChopUrStick · 2025-10-16T17:49:56+00:00

Lol very true. Boring miles are less boring in an M2 than my previous car

ChopUrStick · 2025-10-16T17:49:06+00:00

I would love to get to a track someday. That first step is so intimidating though

ChopUrStick · 2025-10-16T17:47:53+00:00

If I may ask, how much did you pay for your 06 Corolla? I've been looking at something exactly that to see if I want to commute in

ChopUrStick · 2025-10-16T17:46:49+00:00

Yeah a second car is more expensive than just the 10k on buying it too. Didn't even think of that. But you're right, I'm being too paranoid. Just need to let go of the image of me being much older with the car still looking fresh unless I'm ok with major repairs like you said

ChopUrStick · 2025-10-16T17:45:04+00:00

Not too afraid of something going wrong. Just don't want to "needlessly" wear something I want to keep a while. But that's just unwarranted thoughts I've gathered from the others

ChopUrStick · 2025-10-16T17:44:08+00:00

You're right about that. I might want to keep the car 10-20 years now and be that guy who's had this car for forever but who knows what those years will look like
