by Matthew Smith · June 12th, 2007 · 2 Comments
The “garage” of one Matthew A. Smith just grew by one vehicle.
For my birthday (and Christmas, and birthday after that), I bought myself a 1999 BMW 323i (no I’m not spoiled, I’m paying for this one by myself). Of course, the real reason for the purchase is the cost of gas versus the low gas [...]
