1982 BMW 323i Baur
Memorial Day 2010 First Drive 1982 323i BMW Baur Lapisblau M20 5 speed #4154 of 4595 made. The car was imported to California by Dietel Enterprises. I have since changed the wheels, installed the clear turn signal lenses, and I am in the process of installing a new cabriolet roof. I have to do something about those bumpers, too. :) I love this car! To see one of the reasons why, check my post "Score One For the Good Guys" on 6/26/2011.

The 23d Psalm up-to-Date by Dean Kallander (circa 1910)

The 23d Psalm up-to-Date
by Dean Kallander
The Ford is my Car,
I shall not want another.
It maketh me to lie down in wet places.
It spoileth my good clothes.
It leadeth me into deep mud holes for its name's sake.
It prepareth a breakdown for me in the presence of my enemies.
Yea, though I run through the valleys, I am towed up the hills.
I fear great evils while it is with me.
Its rods and its engines discomfort me.
It anointeth my head with oil.
Surely to goodness if this thing followeth me all the days of my life,
I shall dwell in the house of the insane forever.
