As many of you know my ti was totaled recently and I've been driving around in various rental cars (to include one very sweet blue focus). I finally found an M coupe that I wanted back in California and flew out to pick it up in San Diego and drive it back to Colorado (being out there just made me miss it even more though). Here it is: 1999 Imola on Solid Black M Coupe with 79k on it when I picked it up. This thing is an absolute blast to drive! ...and it's still a hatchback!! I get all kinds of questions and looks at stoplights which just makes me feel super cool. So I finally got around to washing my car...between loads of laundry...and since it was soooo nice out I decided to head over to Horsetooth for a minute and snap some shots. the lcd on my camera is broken so that's why half the car is cut off in some of them...     |  |  | | 02-25-2008, 01:42 AM | #2 | | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 |

thanks guys. I'd like to start with basics like an intake and an exhaust. Maybe some tints one of these days. It also has a Dinan suspension setup so I i want to see just how adjustable that is too | | | | | 02-25-2008, 02:06 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |

Nothing wrong with an M Coupe. I wouldn't mind that being my next car. __________________ ...steven

That M coupe is sweet chris, sure wish you could have showed it to us today. Oh well proably at next meet. | | | | | 02-25-2008, 04:03 AM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Memphis, Tn Posts: 1,299 |
Love the car man. I have been a fan of those M coupes since I drove past one on the interstate. If I had a choice I would take the coupe over the Ti any day, but I would like it in Black.
P.s Yeah my 500th Post!!!! It's time for a celebration, B*tches show Charlie Murphy your Titt*es!!! I think I will have a beer now!!! __________________
