Welp, it is done. I am now the gleeful owner of a 2001 bmw 330ci(3rd~ year of the e46 chassis). 97k miles on the clock and a really well taken care of exterior/interior. Plus, the actual mechanics/electronics of the car are flawless, save one leak in the washer fluid. I had a leak down test done during the prepurchase inspection and everything came back flying colors. minus the washer fluid, that is.
Anyways, it is a lovely car with a bunch of go. A /lot/ more power than i've ever had before; 228~ flywheel horsepower and 220~ lb.ft torque. Dark blue with dove grey interior. 5 speed manual, of course! Oh, and a bmw honored 5 year 150,000 ADDITIONAL mile warranty on electric, powertrain, engine, AC, etc. Quite awesome.
I had a mostly fantastic weekend, minus an incident. The trip down with aaron was phenomenal. We saw a lot of corvettes out, and even saw a 1986 Pantera, in black! Well, aaron did. I didn't :( There was a lot of fun conversation about computers and cars and so on.
Japanese is going well, too! It is more difficult, but very enjoyable. Looking at this userpic I haven't used in ages, I can tell that it spells: TSU i N BI I which would be read as TWI N BI- or, LOL TWINBEE.
This makes me happy.
Now, I believe it is quite possibly Vette o'clock.
