took friday off to take my beamer in for service and to just rest a bit- since i have to work all day today (sat)... the new rotors & brakes feel a lot smoother. have to go back next week to get a new winshield wiper fluid pump. my car's held up pretty well considering it's almost 10 years old... just a bit more rattles now..

because I swapped the fluid out with royal purple syncromesh or max or whatever....

jedi said it should be using 75-90

I have to say that the syncromax was a hell of lot smoother than the 75-90.

that little test drive in the evo was sick! the guy let me mash on it. AWD is amazing! but im not going to do it.. =( i know im going to regret it..

detrich,
i have no clue why i felt like that, yesterday i was at the pike in long beach and left my car parked outside of chili's (picking up food to go) i stood away from my car just to make it look like it wasn't mine and wow, the reaction an rx8 gets, i almost forgot how it felt.. people were looking at it like it was exotic or something.. sorry didn't mean to sound conceded.

jorge: me too, it would kinda suck being stuck with another 3 years of payments you know. As bad *** as the evo is being without a car payment is even better! With that being said, the wifey is thinking about either getting the FX35 or the new BMW X-5, I really want the FX cause we can get a fully loaded FX vs a step above base model X-5 for our price range..

talk her into the FX. She's not going to need the 'added performance' of the X5 and you two will appreciate the luxuries of the FX a lot better then a close to base X5.

A girl I know has an X5 and it's really not all that nice... I'd take a CX-9 or an FX over it. It's just too pricey for what you get.

make sure the dumbass for a sales guy doesn't put her in a fully loaded X5 for the test drive, otherwise I know what'll happen.

I'm sure the sales guy will throw in the "free scheduled maintenance" sales pitch but ask yourself....how much freakin' maintenance does an X5 really need??? You could do the oil changes yourself or pay some monkey to do it for $25. Don't let that be some huge selling point for you guys.
