a.d._510_n_ok Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 The BMW Addiction That Completely Destroyed This Man’s Life “Before we get to your car questions,” my former next door neighbor, Terrance, said, “I need to tell you both something. My wife left me. My kids won’t talk to me. I lost my job. I embezzled almost a half a million dollars because I’m addicted to BMWs, and have been hiding them all over the state. I’ll probably be going to prison soon.” Terrance was an accountant, and he looked the part. He tucked his t-shirts into his jeans, which were always jacked up too high. He had a short, nondescript haircut and wore glasses that always seemed to be a little crooked. He was about 20 years older than me, married with two grown kids, but he still had a baby face. He taught Sunday school. He was always polite. Terrance said Chrisman Commercial “was fully aware” that they were his BMWs and that he was using their building to store his parts. But there was much they were not aware of. Specifically, the hundreds of thousands of dollars he embezzled from the firm. According to Terrance, he stole $320,000 by issuing himself 125 extra paychecks. And he spent every penny of it on his BMWs. http://jalopnik.com/the-bmw-addiction-that-completely-destroyed-this-man-s-1794882542 4 Quote Link to comment

willz Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Vr6 turbos are the bees knees. I've built a few of them and stuffed them in rabbits, sciroccos, older golfs/jettas. You gotta worry about stomping on the brakes too hard, all that weight up front makes them do an endo Quote Link to comment

125 CSL Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 What happen to all those BMW's. I would think he would not buy junk. 320,000 It could be as few as just one car. New M6 would be 100k+ off the dealer's lot. A set of HRE's north of 5k. If east coast Turner do modifications, west Dinan. Used cars, you could get there on two M5's easy. I would bet the cars went back to the company he wrote the checks on. Quote Link to comment

Racer X 69 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I have driven and ridden in several of these over the years. Most enjoyable. 1 Quote Link to comment
angliagt Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 What happen to all those BMW's. I would think he would not buy junk. If he's like the rest of us,he'd probably buy whatever came along that interested him.I'll bet most of them are like what we would buy in Datsuns. He probably did them a HUGE favor,as most of them are probably worth a lot more than he bought them for. Quote Link to comment
