Hahaha my brother is going on about how he says "BMW holds their value...." yeah right... depreciation is one of the big things about buying a BMW yet he doesn't know the first things... he's a dick so I'm not going to educate him. He's looking at E39's.

Wow from 15 dollar bumpers to 13 dollar steering wheels, you could build a TSX to throw around for under 200 at this rate.

Roberto! Get that steering wheel wrapped like mine

BTW, speaking of deals.. Just picked up a set of supposedly like new KW V2 coilovers (<40 miles) and 380MM Stoptech 6-pot BBK (<50 miles) for my S4 for $1300 today from an Audi forum member. We shall see how good the parts are when they arrive... Here's an iPhone pic after a wash and wax...

Do they have to have the "epileptic" mode, or can we just make it like a normal brake light?

Impressive. It's about as hot for you as it is here. Are people freaking out about it up there since they aren't used to it?

Not really freaking out.. Just not used to the heat and having limited outdoor activities. We will adjust and live. Although walking 10 blocks in the city with this heat in a monkey suit is definitely not fun. On the flip side, the ladies are wearing less to stay cool and "bunny" in the pic has some hot new outfits for this heatwave

How hard would it be for me and another person to install the progress rear sway bar?. We were able to upgrade the swaybar in a G35 so i would imagine this can't be too much harder.

I asked if they were doing it as a one off thing or will be making a kit.

"exLEDusa: Simon Chan We will be selling these custom LED reflectors soon. Thank you!"

Oh... That's just trickery of the camera. All LED's will flicker when filmed up close with a camera.

Today I hung out with Danny DeVito and the rest of the cast of Sunny In Philadelphia, then a bunch of snow bunnies, and finally ending the night with Adrianne Curry who has hips that are so small, I wrapped my fingers around 'em. Fun fact: no panties + latex makes for great times.

Be jealous, suckas
