My son's 16th Birthday Present

My son turns 16 this coming Friday (St. Patrick's Day ). Gotta keep him in the BMW fold, so here is the car that we got for him. It's a 1995 318is with a 5 speed in Hellrot Red with a tan interior. The car has 100K miles on it and is clean as a whistle. I drove it back from NYC this past week and had second thoughts about giving it to him and keeping it for myself. It rides and drives like a dream

We gave it to him yesterday (he was driving me crazy with finding different cars to look at - all of them e36's ), and he was blown away. The look on his face was priceless. After a day and a half he is already quickly getting used to driving the 5-speed.















Happy Birthday Adam !!! Let the mods begin

Lucky son of yours. I'm sure he deserves it! I wish him safe and good times in it. Beats my first car-a 1979 Ford Granada (aka, a box with wheels).


Nice house, Jeff. I've always been fond of brick houses.

Quicksilver will become famous soon enoughQuicksilver will become famous soon enough
Last evening The CEO gave our 17 year Old granddaughter a 1989 MBZ 300E. 190.000 miles but still a beautiful ride. The look on her face was priceless. But her mother said she is soooo excited. Then we thought to ourselves, no way on Gods green earth would anyone have given us a car let alone a Mercedes Benz. My how times have changed.
Anyway I know your son was excited and I know he's gonna enjoy it. And guess what? I wanted to keep the Benz and mod it but decided this was a better thing.
