Dear BMW,
Since my shop I work at has opened its garages to the public for about 2 years now, every BMW I have seen seems to have either spun bearings or Catastrophic engine failure. Normally we tell them to go to the dealer then they tell us how much they will charge then we under cut it by almost $2k or more then I'm stuck with some European car expert In Bay 4 with a engine in 10 billion pieces over 5000 tags where sensors hook up and calling BMW for either parts numbers or .PDF schematics. You would think BMW would be good at making a engine by now. This is probably the 4th one this month. Is it common for BMW engines to Seize or self destruct? or are Metro Detroit area Beamer owners just unlucky? Anyway i just stopped to say hey because i haven't been on in a while.

Stretching to make car payments?
I recently bought a car and bought it with one payment the dealer was shocked and confused. I have been off the boards for awhile and something major has happened. Well Lets just say by 2010 if everything stays the same my retirement fund will be 7 digits big. And I its hard to keep my hands off it I want a Koiensegg CCX so bad...... But that wont happen yet...

Where exactly is YOUR crumple zone?
I only use Asbestos pads and Shoes. Zero Fade and Lung Cancer whats not to love? besides After being rear ended about 9 times in the Caprice I learned that bumpers were separate from the car for a reason and were never apart of the cars fenders and all.

saw the G8 in person
nothing about it said show car as there was brake dust on the rims and some grime under the hood. under the hood looked like under a Vette. not concepty. The emblem i think it was the new one i rember it being really silvery it could of had red i don't remember now. dammit.

saw the G8 in person
its just another car. It really doesn't do anything for me. the interior is weak. the lines are rather curvy in person not as boxy as pictures have it. I have to wait and see how it does but i think it will do as good as the GTO, but i hope a i am wrong. As the crowds around it where pretty big as people where trying to figure out what it was. it looks like the new emblem is staying. the wheels look nice and under the hood is very clean. Im up in the air about this one. i would have took pics but i didnt expect to see a G8 chillin around.

I'm very curious so I'm just going to bite the bullet and actually try it!
Not true RPM has nothing to do with performance. The only thing it has is a tad faster Seek time. 10k Raptor has 4.6ms But only has Sata 1.5 interface for a 150gb it cost about 180 while a Caviar has 8.7ms time and has a Sata 3.0 interface for 160 cost about 59 So if you want one nosiey ass HDD with a slower interface and spend 3x as much. Than be my guest. Its more for Bragging rights. What you should look for is The Cache 16mb and SataII or 3.0 interface. As For Vista Wait a couple of years Its so unstable and non of my devices were compatible. there is no drivers out for it yet either gaming is rather slow on it

Bought a kayak
I hope you got strong arms that is not for a open lake environment that is for wide slow moving rivers. For open lakes you go long skinny enclosed kayaks. Just a heads up.

Someone tell me some good news
Your life is NOT a cluster f@#k that changes daily. You don't have to live everyday with massive amount of guilt over your sholder Theres not a list of people that want you dead Theres no bounty price for you Your not on a Federal watch list Every time there is a horrible crime your not questioned. You can be seen in public with out filing papers. . . . Trust me I'm pretty happy with life it has its ups and downs but overall you cant look down at life everyday just push through and appreciate all you have. Since Its more than what some have.

Passport process = fcuked
Well Its something i really can't discuss in a public forum. It would be illegal. It deals with something to do with a court marshal and a crime against your ally. It was really shady. If you want to know some basic details drop me a PM, but i can't go into full detail.

A picture is worht a thousand words
rigs of rods its a very basic driving game with no real task its been in development for quite some time. but the physics is phenomenal. And since the code is basic you can mess with the vehicles torque engine to even make enough torque to rip the axle out. http://rigsofrods.blogspot.com/ http://repository.rigsofrods.com/files/windows/RoR-0.31a.zip theres to download if you mess around with it check out there forum it explains a lot about it and how to mod it or just ask me theres also a download section where people post there own cars they make. its very fun to jump the semi pulling a traior or do wheelies in a tow truck. but it replicates tire roll and failure also when you hit a pot hole the whole car flexes its amazing.

Then i heard of Tech school that fixed them for free since they used it in a lab for some Electrical college then once i got it back i tore it apart looked at what they did then went to radio shack bought 10 cent parts and charged people $40 to fix it. although its been a good 2 years since i heard of the problem
