The CL was rarely driven in the cold, I usually walked. And the smoke was bad enough that I couldn’t see behind me. It didn’t appear normal from what I remembered about commuting or seeing other cars going down the street. Its okay though, won’t have to worry about it for much longer.

meh ususally when you start a vehicle up and take off when it still cold it smokes quite a bit. you should sell that thing down there and get a cleaner and newer e30 without the ugly bumpers and an I motor, swap the special optioned seats and wheel out and drive it

It all depends on what happens when I get down there. In any instance, this car probably won’t come back to New York. I’ve toyed with a few different options in my head but it depends on what I find. In any case though, it will be nice to get a good amount of cash in my pocket so I can come back with a clean car or 2.

My #1 choice for car combo right now is a Del-Sol daily and DSM fun car. I’ll be back on campus when I come back so if the DSM breaks and the Del-Sol is at home or something I’ll just go pick it up and send the DSM home :lol
I really do want something fast though. Like I said, trying to keep my options open
