A face lapdance from Tawny Kitaen in 1986...Steven Bell promised to NEVER shave that stash in hopes to keep the scent for future reference. Smell was gone, but the mustached lived on for over 2 decades, to date...

Awesome shots of the fogs...that is SUPER bright, keep an eye on heat generated, I know they run cooler, but still...

I know things about you Steven, things from the 80's you probably don't even remember about yourself, that's how.

Jeremy, I've probably forgotten so much.....


I've got some DJ'ing stories that are fun though-from both the radio industry and from being a DJ in the live nightclubs.

Honestly, probably a new rear bumper. Unless a body shop can cut out a circle around it and patch in some new plastic, almost like how you would fix a hole in sheet rock.

MEKO-I've been a radio disc jockey for 35 years now. I'm still on the radio at the Classic Rock Station here in Kansas City. We are also the station that carries the Kansas City Chiefs.

You should upgrade to the ZKW lenses for your projectors...your beam cutoff is fuzzier than Steven Bell's mustache!

They don't have it. Never used heeltoe yet.
Bought 2 things from XLR8 and I am happy with them

Dude, really want ISC but I feel like that would be the last thing (at winter)
These are small easy progress. There is one thing on my mind that I really want

I know right, those details, quality just awesome.
Ok Anil will say forget that, I could get Maserati for that price but RS shows that this is different.
See that's what I hate about M3
No detail work, buy a 335, change bumpers blah blah..there have a M3
I never liked M3 anyways, that M button doesn't add HP like M5 does



Steven you saw the new 2013 Lincoln MKZ?
I kind of liked it...something different inside and out






Today, replaced the parking bulbs for the FX, one of them went out, replaced both with 5 smd one from superbrightleds


^4 different colors

Meko that is SICK but for the money you are paying you can easily get something else....a lot faster and a lot "stable-r"

my uncle has a A6 with the S-line package....4.2 quattro....its a monster !!! but its like BMW, when you take it in for anything, you leave the dealership with 1 less organ....

MEKO, I've seen the MKZ. I don't know if I'm ready for that one yet. I've been looking at Gran Turismos, 911's, Rapides and always, Gallardo's.

Noooo I still don't have the orange leds

but
you guys remember something was draining my battery
every morning, starts week and if I leave the car alone for the whole day, boom it's empty

Fixed

It was because of the handsfree bluetooth thingy
Disconnected it and this morning car started much much better hahaaa



Problems and fix sections

Also read how to reduce the rattle sound because of the subwoofer
Insert paper towel to this sections
I tested it this morning it really reduces the rattle, stops that cover hitting the metal surface

Will remove the bottom cover and fix it today



https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-problems-fixes-114/rear-deck-bass-rattle-fix-%5Bpics-video%5D-614680/

but thank God I am done with the battery

ohh
If anyone know..

I will fill that hit on the bumper, sand it and paint it
Do I need both the basecoat and clearcoat paint?

Just the clearcoat won't do it right???
