Thought I was autocrossing this Sunday but I'm not, the weather forecast is looking good and I'm itching to ride...  |

I may not make it. We'll see. I could be coating a gas tank. Then there is the question of a garage door that is stuck closed at this point. If that door isn't fixed then the only two wheels I'll be able to get on will be a bicycle.  |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

I'll be with you guys in spirit today and in the flesh next week, weather & mechanical things considered. Garage door still isn't fixed but there are greater forces than I working on that.  Off to the shop to do the tank and more on that silly 318i and perhaps even pull a drive gear off a 900 crankshaft. |

Wish I could afford that amount of maintenance.  |

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.
Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Wish I could afford that amount of maintenance. It's killing me...11.5 hours charged for the last service of which about 10 hours was for the valve adjustment...  |

Let me tell you that it takes all of those ten hours to do that work too. Next time ( 30,000 miles is it? ) maybe you could sweet talk someone into doing that for you at a much lower cost. |
