How do I get over this, bite the bullet, and buy a car that's actually semi-reliable?

buy an E30.

Stop buying shit used cars? Get a newer car, pony up the money and at least get something from 2005+. You'll get better milage, chicks will know you're not a poorfag, insurance and maintenance will drop.

>to this day
No thats a miata. Which is also faster and handles better. Kek.
E30 is not E30 M3 btw. Keep your goalposts in check. And even the M3 was shit and got beat by FWD corollas. Look it up fanboy
>>
>>15905363
Cost to insure 1.3 2000 Subaru Justy for one year: £2000+
Cost to insure any 70s classic car on classic policy including commuting: sub-£200
Maybe the States is different?
>>
>>15905402
I know you're trolling but still
the E30 M3 is the most victorious and most raced car in history, one must be living in a cave not to know such facts
>>
>>15905414
Go look it up and stop being a retarded fanboy
>>
>>15905402

Post a link where it states that the Corolla was better than the E30?
Because such articles never existed lmao

>ad hominem adds merit to my arguments
how does it feel to live in a delusion? The E30 was the car that earned BMW the "Ultimate Driving Machine" title and made them successful.

Kys fanboy
Also M3 is not the same as 1.8 E30.
Both being slower than corollas.
Also
Most raced car is a miata (still faster than E30)
>>
>>15905456
>JDM fanboy doesn't realize the E30 came in I6 2.5L configuration too
>>
>>15905470
You mean the one that made the car heavier and produced shit power?
>>
>>15905456
there are almost no Miatas outside Japan, UK or the USA
E30s are raced worlwide (and most importantly Europe)
And there have been produced 2.3 million E30s worldwide in comparison to 421k NA miatas so naturally E30s have been raced more
You're blindfolded or retarded obviously, did you even read any of the articles?
>>
>can't go back to having a shitcan Civic or Corolla after all the compliments I got on my E21

So you are going to put yourself through financial difficulty for a couple compliments?

>E30s are raced worlwide

Most third world nations import almost strictly japanese cars.

You will find more miats anywhere in the world than you will find E30's
>>
you have to accept you don't have the budget for a good car
stick to something decent to save money for a while, 90s saturns tend to be pretty reliable and the plastic panels mean if you keep them clean they look pretty sharp (no rusting)

Let me spoon feed you baby boy.
(Also faster than a e30 btw)
>>
>>15905519
third world nations such as?
In european/middle eastern third world countries you only see old german cars
In Africa you only see imported beat to shit old german cars
>>
>>15905525
how does this prove your point that the E30 is an overrated turd and that it wasn't/isn't the most successful touring cars ever?

Is it just me, or does this BMW resemble American muscle cars of the same era? Or, do American muscle cars resemble the BMW?
>>
>>15905503
I also loved the look and the way it felt to drive. I have a hard time imagining a Japanese econobox feeling the same, especially stock.
>>
>>15905374
I came here to say this. Also use a sealing adhesive compound when you attach it so its watertight. Bonus points if you use a metal sign and make it look cool.
