I just thought I'd say howdy and that I'll probably be browsing the boards here for awhile. I've been a member of a few other car clubs so I'm not a total noob to how this whole thing works. Anyways currently I drive a 1997 dodge avenger, indy red w hid projectors, lowered, wheels and some interior mods. I'm getting tired of the whole ****ty gas hogging V6 automatic in it so I've been considering getting a 318ti after I saw one in the campus parking lot. I've yet to drive one though... so while I wait to find one you all can feel free to convince me Talk to ya all soon!

Hmm i can't convince you to buy one,all i can say is drive one and that should speak for itself. It's not nearly as quick as your dodge but it is a great little car and is fun to drive. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 03-15-2006, 02:36 AM | #3 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 2 | yeah about that. it's quicker than my dodge. my car makes about 125 whp, fwd, 3100lbs. nope. it's definately quicker lol. but yeah mostly I just want the fun factor.
