$34.50 down on the next one to be financed for another 5 years. Although, I like BMW more than Mercedes. But, as I've said already, Porsche is where it's at for me.

If it's good though, it's perfectly fine to have a second hand one if you take care of it. Once they lost most of their value, they steady and you can own one and flip it.
Flip it for a loss.

I actually hate window visors, always have...
I talked mad shit about them. Then I got a deal on an aftermarket set that sucked...and I grew to love the look. The OEM look like they're molded on the car. The real benefit, since I don't smoke...is being able to leave the windows cracked in addition to the sun shade to ensure the inside temp never gets too high.

I felt the same way about the read window spoiler...hated them, talked shit...then owned them. Mad downforce, yo...

Nah your car is great, but would be greater without visors. I'll never agree on that haha.

Happy birthday, Mr. Space.

I like the visors, especially on J's car. I know I'd definitely get a set if I had a NBP TL.

Morning Fran
That's what I said. I think it looks ok if they match the color of the car. I have PMM and black window deflectors would look out of place imo.

I like the car much better now, J minus the spoiler, current rims and the window deflectors give the NBP character. Any other color though, and they would stick out like sore thumbs.

It's the taillights and the roof spoiler that changed it all.

Most if not all extended service contract companies won't cover it as well. I don't understand how there isn't an oil pump replacement or some fix to this.. total bs.
