If you were to meet me, you might be able to tell there's some old school in my blood. Growing up around hot rods, with a serious passion for low riders... You'll probably hear me say stuff like "life's too short to drive a boring car" and you'll know I mean it. But an old adage I live by is K.I.S.S and I'm not talking about the band, it stands for Keep It Simple Stupid.
With SEMA in full swing showcasing the worlds hottest cars featuring the newest gadgets and accessories to personalize your ride... I have to stop, and shake my head. Don't get me wrong, I love all the advancements and technology... But for me... It's all about simplicity.
Some say the greatest car BMW ever built was the E30. While I'd disagree, my 21 year old 240k mile Alpine 318is would quickly put me in my place. The attention it draws is shocking to me, while a clean example of a late model E30 it is far from flawless, and yet there is something that draws your eye to it... Simplicity.
You won't find perfectly rolled arches. You won't find flawless paint. You won't find fancy suspension, or aggressive fitment. What you will find is some 15" BBS RS's I borrowed from a friend that had them literally laying around. I hand polished the original paint. I cut the lowering springs because they weren't low enough. I tinted the high beams. I removed the head rests to give it that old school low back look. I've installed some subtle factory options in a nearly base model car... It's clean. It's simple. It's daily driven
P.S. Dont **** on my iPhonography skills.
