Written by Ken Altes

Love Juliann’s car that she modified to roughly M3 specs. She is an experienced and busy race car mechanic, and she likes beer — met her at Black Sheep on S. Lamar.

Terry Sather’s Automotive in S. Austin services my car, and has a long history of  BMW racing.  This car, Terry told me, just wasn’t fast enough, so it was made street legal. Anyone up for a trip to the grocery store?  Check out Terry Sather’s Automotive here.
