Sounds like your general BMW owner stereotype. If he doesn't own an M3/5 or 1 series he might as well stfu. More often than not it's just some douche with a low end car who thinks he's hot ****. Road racing is fun, but most people give up on it as it takes a lot of time and investment to do it regularly. I'd rather stick to the track or go out with some friends to mess around and not draw attention.

Also the ends of the collectors have been cut and need to be sqaured up. they had the 3 bolt flanges on them and I needed slip fit, and cut them on the car. Also have an XS stainless y pipe ide like to get 75.00 for picked up. let me know if anyone is interested. Oh, these are for an LS1 fbody
I wish I could have headers.

not sure on the series of his car (still trying to find out) he says he's going to be a driving instructor next year and that he would "gladly teach me how to drive a car". complete ******* douchebag. im still trying to get him to drag with me to have him shut his mouth up about how "fast his car is"

Had one of those people in ottumwa. Dad was at the bar and said there was a guy in there saying his bmw was fast and when my dad mentioned my car he said he could take it no problem(this was my LT1 camaro when I had it so it was stock with a chip, CAI and catback). We raced a 1/4 on the street and I let off and coasted the last quarter of the race. Still got him by over 10 cars(couldn't tell, he was to far behind).

theres been a decent amount of cars out regularly in CR. I won't be out this weekend, cause I'm sure I'll be incapable of driving.

I doubt that there will be any shortage. CR sometimes feels like ricer city, imho. I'd go out tonight, but feelin a little tipsy...
Oh, and apparently I have some registration issues, apparently there is a different car registered with my plate numbers. Yeah that's real fun to explain to a cop...

Hey guys, put up for sale some M/T drag radials with four 16 inch wheels. Would like to sell them locally to avoid shipping, so if anybody is looking for some let me know!

Clive, Iowa

FS: 2 M/T 275/40/17 ET Street Radials

Selling my 2 BRAND NEW M/T ET Street Radials

These tires have been sitting up in my weight room for the past couple of weeks. I planned on putting them on, but now need to sell them to pay off some tickets (tint, 5mph over... bastards) and I'm going to college here soon so I need to not have any debt.

Plus things on my Bird keep breaking, and I don't want the rearend to be next

These tires go for $200/each + shipping/taxes from normal vendors. I'd be willing to sell be for $350 cash for both

Please contact me, Marc, through either email (mj97taws6@yahoo.com, PM, or my cell at 515-720-6490)

Was it your SS I saw at Sycamore Mall Cruise-In in Iowa City on June 26th? If so, I was the guy that told you "nice ride", just before you pulled out of the parking area and went up the hill. If not, I guess there's another Navy Blue Metalic SS with true duals.

Welcome to the Iowa thread & to the state. You should be able to run some decent times down here.
