All men need trucks.
P-car
That's the only thing holding me back on the e60 M5.. but you need to drop the figure to 30-25, and repairs of 10-25k. 
The good and bad thing of the IS-F is you can't modify it. Maybe suspension and brake upgrades (not needed). But it's a bitch to do anything with the engine.. it's a fucking disaster. You need to drop the subframe to put on headers... fucking headers! The only thing I'd do to it is replace those faux "resonator" tips..
Don't get it in with TK.. let it be. 3G is actually a very good FF platform. It handles well, adequate power for commuting. Too bad the interior material quality is shit.
P-car
If HP were the case then we would all have mustang GT's
Technoking or someone I forgot exactly was talking shit to me about HP and how his M35/45 (forget which) was better because the 3G only produces 256HP. They closed the thread before I could respond but that's retarded to go off of HP. I know his suspension and handling are rough as a vagina when the hair starts growing back. I rather have a smoother ride than more HP, and that's why I considered to 3G better.
Anywho the ISF is what I would choose. I wanted the M5 and almost pulled the trigger a few times but I would hate myself to buy a car for 40-45 then have 10k in repairs soon after. One day though *sigh*

I love Porsche. But the thoughts going through my head about the M5 was this...... 24-25, in Austin, M5, own place = Mas superficial vagina 
But now that I'm committed to the family life I've been looking for a 70-85 911 to rebuild now that I'll finally own a garage
Dream car would be the GT3 RS, pure car.

Quick question - I married my TL when I bought it, meaning, I plan on staying with it until the day she dies. That being said, if you had to chose between the following 3, which would you pick. You can elaborate on your choice if you wish, but honestly I'm curious which of these you would pick for yourself.

Needs a 930
I put a strobe light in my 1995 nissan single cab pickup. It also had 4 6x9's, 2 Mtx 10's, 2 6's and 4 tweeters. Loud as shit but a retarded move. Haven't touched audio since then, 2004 ish?
Point is you don't want my advice

none of the above? care to elaborate? UD - I've been pm'ing neibur3 and those were the first 3 brands he listed. I was just curious if any of you had any experience with the 3. As far as car audio, I've only ever run Alpine myself. My buddy had a full fosgate system back in the day, so between those two, I'm not familiar with any other brands.

kicker, jl, some alpine, no pioneer, no jvc, no insignia... boston acoustics stuff is good too but personally, i love the kicker system i installed in my car. Just want the uncaled4 sub box to get my trunk back. Only problem is i dont think he can make them in the square size.. i could be wrong tho. I installed for 9 years with best buy and there are more out there but off the top of my head thats what i come up with

Safety Car
So a while back I had an issue with lights in the back of the house randomly flickering. turns out it was a common wire(white) grounding. My fault. I replaced the whole wire from the breaker box to the first junction box it went into.
Evidently it was arcing at the breaker as well, and every time it would arc, the lights outlets etc run off that breaker would flicker.
Here is what the breaker looked like when I replaced it.
It pretty much fell apart in my hand.
So everything was fine for a while, then last winter it started happening again. I listened at the breaker box, and sure enough, I could hear the arcing again at the new breaker.
I had one extra breaker slot on my panel that wasn't being used, so I pulled the new breaker off the old spot (which was pretty burned and scarred) and popped it onto the new one. That worked.
Until last night.
Bedroom lights, etc. started flickering again. I couldn't hear anything at the panel, but I pushed/wiggled the breaker, and the problem stopped.
I'm about ready to snap.
