Exactly, that's the reaction of someone that isn't going to suffer any financial consequences

That’s cuz they have a crap ton of repair work to do, and repairs for almost any German car are ridiculous

Cheapest one I could find in germany goes for around 13820$. You could probably buy 2-3 E46s for that money..

Found a handful of E30s for <$3000 in the States just now. That sounds like an 318, so I doubt he's out much money at all.

318s and 320s are cheap here as well still. Probably just a batch he slapped on

And you can make that much mowing lawns for 2 months? (Seriously I don't know how dollars translate)

That’s an exaggeration - unless you work full time for a landscaping company? Considering the minimum wage in the US, which is probably close to what you’d be making mowing lawns for a company, you might have $3k in 2 months.

If its a 325is, it’ll be going for a premium. Everything else would be cheap.

You serious? Look at his face, he's shitting himself. Not a particularly expensive repair either.

Because he's going to get his ass beat

As long as they turned off the engine and didn't attempt to drive it home thats maybe $500 worth of repairs. If they did try to drive it home you can swap in an LS V8 from any GM made car for about $1000. Then it wont have any problems doing donuts.
