Hi guys! Fellow car nut here. I've had quite the journey in making my way back into an F80. It's been a full 6 months since I traded in my '15 YMB F80 and it's so great to be back!!!
I adored my previous F80 - racked 38k hard miles on her and she didn't skip a beat. She was stage 2 with downpipes from 1000 Miles on. I went through 4 different sets of tires and ended up trading her in. I had a bug, something about being a sensible father of 2 and needing something more practical... I saw myself changing my car stable to accommodate a large comfortable dad-mobile ('18 F150 King Ranch) along with what I though was my dream car ('10 997.2 GT3)
This at the time seemed like the ultimate set up of functionality and fun factor. I was driving my F150 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) as I took my son to daycare and that left me Tuesdays and Thursdays to run amok with my GT3. This all seemed like a good plan to me, but what I failed to realize was the "daily fun factor" had vanished.
After much thought, I decided to offload the GT3 and return to old faithful, only this time, since I was buying the exact car I had the previous 4 years, I had to make her extra special and unique.
I'm 31 years old and I've had over 40 different automobiles during this period and like many of you, it seemed incredibly hard for me to fathom purchasing the same exact car again. I've never even considered that I would do such a thing.
Then again, I've never loved a car the way I loved my M3. She was just that good.
Memories are made in your daily driver, stories are told of your weekend toys.
May the memories continue!
