**They grow up so very fast...100,000 miles before you know it...**

kpeng · 08-03-2009, 04:22 PM

I've had my car for 5 years come this November. She turned 100,000 miles this afternoon on the way to the pet groomer's. So I just wanted to take this time to look back a bit at the car and how far it's come, and to thank everyone in the BMW community that has helped it become what it is.

Paul and Adam @ Euro-Spec, Jojo @ DPE, The Revered Luis Duran, The Tischer Boyz, my family, and the fine young chaps that have been a part of my group, Leistung Motorwerke...the list goes on and on and on.

I've been on here for over 5 years now, and I don't plan on leaving any time soon (voluntarily at least

), but I assure you all the best has yet to come. She's been good to me, and still running strong despite needing a bit of maintenance (chipped trim, rough idle, oil level sensor bad)...and I look forward to making a thread when I hit 200,000 miles.

The day she came home with 4 miles on the odometer.

After a couple years of little mods here and there, including the introduction of the now infamous "kpeng exhaust", the "kpeng ghetto air freshener" and more! She sat like this for a while.

Slowly but surely though, she was transformed into her current state. I'm very happy with the way it is, and it just needs some minor detail adjustments (touchups, and for the front bumper/lip to be molded).

And as she sits today...she's dirty, with a few minor dings on the car, and currently in "highway *trolling" mode with my CB radio.

She's getting so old. All those years of changing her oil and feeding her gasoline, and now she's all grown up.

*trolling is a registered trademark term of FTWeisse.
