Bangernomics, my friend :).

I've "grown up" now though and got myself a proper car.

Edit: Can anyone else remember posting here for advice on their first car? I did - I was planning to buy an E34 520i despite hundreds of posts telling me I couldn't drive a RWD at 17 and that I would crash and die. I put a deposit on it anyway but the seller pulled out at the last minute with some bull excuse about it breaking down (he really just wanted more money), thus saving me from a fiery death :D.
