I am really glad that everyone enjoyed the meet All we did was throwing in some ideas and it turned out to be awesome. Honestly, I dont like huge crowds of people, I like small, cozy "parties" like the one we had.

No doubt!!!

I bet it would cost like $80 for that replacement.

So

I think it actually notice the difference.

I used to have to always have one window at least cracked...this is great!

I got it for $17 including tax from Kragen. It took me like 10 minutes to do the whole thing lol stealerships always suck. BMW and Lexus are the worst when it comes to service. VW is right behind them and Honda is on its tail LOL

^^^ gotta agree...i used to own a 535i and man, when something needed changing, my wallet ran for cover out the door..wailing like a banshee...and that was even when the parts were discounted via my brother's shop before...geez-us!!

That is the MAJOR reason why I chose Acura over BMW. not only the parts are somewhat cheaper,but the basic maintenance (filters, oil, wipers, brakes) can be done by the owner or nearest shop. My friend's parents leased an 05 ? VW Touareg and the brakes got worn off every 11k miles. Now the problem was that changing pads wasnt the solution. The whole assembly had to be swapped for a new one and all that added up to......................... $1500 !!! Parts were available only through the dealer and "smart" AWD system bade the whole vehicle vibrate and rattle if 1 tire had a bit more thread left than the other. By that I mean 4 MM. An oil change cost them around $50. Now they got 528i and I am waiting to hear new horror stories from them. As for Acura, full set of brake pads costs around $40 and can be changed by the owner. Oil is available for $15? + filter ($10 for Mobil 1). Closest shop charges $20 for labor, but I prefer to do it myself. Car never breaks. Believe me, on a long run, it makes a HUGE difference in price and expenses

Awesome pics!

Once again, no problem guys. I just want meets to have some productivity so that everyone at least says it wasnt a waste of time to come out.

Good point.

Helps everybody loosen up a bit when something productive is going on.

Not just a bunch of ducks in a parking lot...I'm sure there is a better metaphor.
