if u don't have the $95 invoice for the initial diagnosis fee, then maybe you can attach a note explaining it and still list it on there. worse case is they only give you $340 instead of $435... not the end of the world... for a car that u don't even own anymore, ANY amount of free money is free money, right?

 

I thought layoffs were over...as it turns out they are not, we lost 6 more people today possible more that I am not aware of. come on economy, pick back up!

 

ack. sorry to hear that loren...

we are still on the backlash of the bush economy... when he went into office in 2000 the economy went to ****. then, he used the housing bubble to prop things up. then 911, then the wars. then he left and left things even worse than when he started.

now obama has been trying to clean up the mess. but, he completely doesn't realize that throwing money at problems doesn't necessarily fix things.

the way i see it, our generation has been screwed over since Clinton left office... 10 years and counting... sigh

 

Yeah we are screwed for some time, damn right in the prime of my life!

 

I will enjoy any sort of refund, that is for sure.

I hate not having my 8, but I look at the mileage I have on my Mazda 3 right now....53k...and can only imagine the headaches I would have had if I still had the 8 with 140k on it....

 

DETRICH NO COMMENT... I have 64k

 

i have almost 120k on the bmw... gotta do the 120k service soon... $ $ $ T_T
the 8's approaching 12k... i forget what we need to service at 12k besides oil change? :headscratch:

 

gerry the only service that needs to be done to your car is driving.

 

x 1,000

I'm at almost 67,000 miles and I got my car AFTER you.
when was the last time you drove it?
how often do you drive it?

 

i drove it to work today! (YAY!) i still love driving this car very much and am itching for another canyon run soon... she just needs a really good bath & a detail, as i haven't washed her like in half a year???

i spend a couple hours per weekend practicing riding nowadays... just trying to get more proficient on the motorcycle, so that i can eventually upgrade my bike. i'm now fairly comfortable on the freeway, and i can turn my head now in the headwind. (yay!) sounds lame- i know. but, it was really scary at first. i also did my first canyon ride up azusa canyon with some friends about a month ago. i couldn't keep up with them, of course. but, it was still fun just going my own pace. it's really an awesome feeling the wind on your body and enjoying the scenery. i still treat it with a tremendous amount of caution though, because it's very dangerous, and at any moment you could die... <lol> well, that's the only part about riding that i don't like so far. :\

 

I'm itching to get back out on a canyon run especially after re-doing my suspension (again) but with it raining more, we might have to wait until spring.

Besides, that'll give me time to clear bra my bumper so I don't get as many rock chips on it.

 

^ Whats your current suspension setup?

 

HKS Hypermax III coilovers
Tanabe sway bars
Evo-R adjustable endlinks

 

jorge i may take that other set up off your hands.but i still like going down drive ways faster then you guys..

 

Michael, you should have told me sooner, its already sold.

Don't worry though as there's an identical set probably going up for sale in a few months with less miles even though it was installed the same day.

 

you dont even have to say it.
Santa Claus slay is getting pimped
out right, oh with airbags and neon lights.

 

PUDDLE LAMPS... lol jk

 

puddle lamps rule!
I just upgraded the bulbs in mine (again).

problem is I haven't driven it at night so I can't quite see how annoyingly bright these new bulbs are.

 

big pimpin'!

 

So Cesar did hook up his computer to get the code out of my car. It is a P2070 which said "intake manifold tuning. Valve stuck open." Doing a search right now, anyone else ever experaince this?

 

See post #30...there is a TSB for this?

im sorry loren but that red car is in the way of my future car in the back. yep the white one.
now i just have to sell a few body parts to get it.

 

Michael, since I'm such a team player, I'll take the red one and you can have the white car.

 

A nice ride soon would be great.

I feel I'm being left behind.

32k miles.
