This question is from a lurkers perspective, lol.
It seems like quite a few people here do or have actually owned MULTIPLE DSM's. It is rare for me to visit a car forum and notice that certain brands seem to create a collection. Very rarely do I see somebody with multiple BMW's (of similar model) but DSM's seem to be like collectables... can't have just one, lol. So who here is on their second (or more) DSM? Why is it so common to own multiples of this car rather than just one? Or am I only reading posts from the true DSM hardcore whores?

QUOTE ... but why MULTIPLE dsm's? DSMs can be made to be anything you want them to be just based on the parts you throw at them. You want it to be reliable, so you keep the stock turbo and get it tuned nice to be a good daily driver. You are afraid of it breaking since its your DD, so you pick up another for $1500 from someone who thinks its broken. Throw another $1500 at it and have a solid 13.0 car and all is good. Then the DD breaks and the collecting begins. Before you know what happend you have 3-5, or in Spy's case 4,564,837 DSMs. To put it simply, they are inexpensive, and require a lot of maintenance. -------------------- GVR4 866/1000 = the perpetually broken car
