[s-cars] My butt momentarily in a BMW

[Vincent Frégeac]

I've been feeling the same in my ultimate assholemobile (E36 318is) during
the last months. But, when I'm behind the wheel, I forget what it looks like
ouside and just enjoy it.

And though it's, by far, not as fast as the S-Bitch in snow, it's way more
fun. Almost every corner is 4 wheels drift, even following the slow traffic
in our first feet and half of snow (Had some before, but just enough for the
color).

When I'll be back on AWD, I think I'll keep the assholemobile for the snow
storms!

'81 Fiat Speeder in storage (I'm not crazy enough to drive top down in a
snow storm. I mean, not crazy enough yet).
'96 S-Bitch waiting for open-heart surgery
'94 318is aka "The Assholemobile" because I needed something to drive, now
just because it cannot keep a straight line in snow... and I love it!

Its weird.  When I had my M3 I always felt like I was borrowing the car, 
like it wasn't mine.  I had been in Audi's for years and went back to 
them.  It was like I was cheating on my car brand...
