What a life to have. Btw, I just clicked around your website and I enjoy it. Carry on
Thanks! I'm actually going to be re-launching my site in the next month or so. 2009 keeps calling wanting its design back.

With my last parts order I got a free plastic bulb socket for an E36 or E38. Useless to me.

Anybody else think this Seinfeld episode might have been inspired by oldskool?

In the future, never drink a 6-pack and then put all of the bottles back in the fridge.

If you don't drive a true three pedal manual transmission I vote that you shouldn't get to wear that left sock.

I was in Target this morning and as I was walking by one of the side aisles, a little kid in a stroller with his mom saw me and said "Daddy! I see Daddy!" Scared the crap outta me.

I just took a dump and now I'm going to spray PB Blaster on the upper front suspension on the 735i/5 so tomorrow I have (a little) less trouble.

Budgeting 4-6 hours for something that would take a tech 2-3. Lets see what holds me up this time...

Its also nice that I can work on the 735i/5 in the garage in the winter with the door down. That cannot be done with the 750iL, even though it parks there with- not kidding- an inch and a quarter to spare.

I tried a new optometrist. An Eye exam , glasses , the whole 9 yds. the glasses are my first pair of clasper bows. I normally get cable bows that wrap around my shell like ears. The right bow has already broken. I can glue it or get it fixed. It is a POS design. I'm contemplating grafting an old pair of bows onto the new frame. :cool:
