You know what one of the many cool things about driving an Audi is? It doesn't draw too much
attention to itself and every ricer asshat out there. OMG, this yellow M3 does just exactly that without any provocation whatsoever. I guess I forgot what that's all about but it actually cut my ride short yesterday because of it.
In a span from LaSalle St. at North Ave. going north and then east to LSD, up LSD to Montrose and then turning around because I already had enough, I drew the ire of a station wagon Taurus (go figure), a Land Rover Discovery who for some reason got angry with me while still on LaSalle, an e46 M3 that was a TOTAL guido (more on that later), and a riced out Jetta. I kid you not 4 cars in about 4 miles. Turned around and went home. Good thing it's going to be a dedicated track car.
On the e46 M3, I wish I could have snapped a picture quick enough. Imagine the ultimate stereotype and he fit it; slicked back "wet look" hair, sunglasses on top of his head, a nice crisp white Dago T, enormous amounts of jewelry visible from 2 lanes over, stereo cranked, beautiful orangeish tan and a blonde next to him staring at herself in the sun visor mirror. I'm in the left lane at the traffic light of LaSalle and inner drive going to get on to LSD. He's in the far right lane like he's going to go straight to park in the lot at Castaways. When he sees me he takes off, cuts off the guy between us in the middle lane and gets on my *** on the on ramp. Ok Guido boy, game on. The guy I bought the car from told me with the 321HP Evo motor I would shock some e46 owners and man he wasn't kidding. This car is quick and light. Back end steps out in all of first, all of second and finally catches solid in third. Note to self: bigger stickier tires.
Certainly didn't want to play his game on LSD in a yellow car on a Saturday so I backed off. We were even in first, I pulled a bit in second on him and walked him in third.
Jetta boy was more comical than anything but he wouldn't give up. Revving his motor, racing forward, slowing down, etc...
That was it for me.

Can I ask what sites you used to try to find the car?
Also, how hard is it to find one w/ a euro motor swap? I'm looking to pick up something very similar in the not-too-distant future =)
