While I wouldn't be surprised, I've never seen that in print. And I did use it for that one time, a parts car about 80 miles away. It was still on the street, I wiped it down and washed the windows so it didn't look like it didn't run. When he got it home he said something about spiderwebs in the wheelwells, damn, I didn't think about them. He didn't seem to care but I gave him a $20 and he was more than good with it then. They may (or may not) be grunts, but treat them well, they hold the power and are just working stiffs too.

I was told "if the registration isn't current I can't tow it".
And that was with a Grant.

I didn't get a picture of it, but there was an Audi on the way home last night with the NJ license plate "N55 EWW."

What are the odds that this was a totally random plate, vs the odds that an Audi owner is using his plate to insult a BMW engine? Discuss!

Cleaning up the wheel wells first. This car is going to clean up really well. I think I'm just excited to have a rust free car finally. Drivers side is cleaning up the same, it's just taking longer. The drivers side almost never cleans up this well.

If you can wait a week, get a car shipper to move it. I've had 2 cars shipped, both from farther away. I wouldn't be shocked if you get that for half the price of a tow.

Why do both of my cars have to fall apart at the same time? Rough idle/barely running condition on the 750iL/M70, and since no good deed goes unpunished my ///M5 tire rotation cost me my UCAs so we're not as stable as we once were, although that's still a drivable car at the moment. BluntTech is getting a parts order tomorrow!

Getting ready to assemble the rear shocks and the bilstein HDs have 3 grooves. Which one should I use to keep stock height?

That is all!
When I was 16 or 17 years old, I turned down the opportunity to buy a six speed 8 series for a mere $800 bones.

" What would I ever do with it". I had not owned a BMW yet at that time, but I kick myself every time I think about it.

The fact that Paul was the one who bought it makes me feel al little better I guess...

I'm having a lot of fun pulling the gas pedal out of the clip on the floor board. Here's goes round 2, I'll get it this time.

I read on here to push in 2 clips on the bottom of the gas pedal with a flat head. There is a bracket with 2 slots. I tried for a couple minutes, then decided to try to search on here again and a poster wrote to push in the clips from the firewall side. Success!

A beer and a cigarette could go a long way today. Too bad I don't drink or smoke cigarettes anymore.

Even when you know how they don't come out easy. Always seems to be some rust in there along with a bunch of grit.

I sent a 318is from Charlotte to Northern VA. For $267. Freight brokers are the way to go. They fight for a load

When did the emoticons stop working?

And how am I going to integrate my Email notifications with Tapatalk?

No one needs to answer the second one, I know how, but the first one does baffle me.

Sammy Hagar must have be driving an E28 with bad UCAs when he wrote "I Can't Drive 55."
