To quote the sage: "Darlin, you look purttier than a new set o' snow tires!"
Looks good. I wish I could pull the trigger on one for my next daily driver... Just can't get past my lack of skills and the expense of paying someone else to fix it...  Kirk Coughlin Woodbury, MN and River Falls, WI Quemadmodum gladius neminem occidit, occidentis telum est. |

Ooh-I'm not usually a body-kit guy-but me wanty! And Wilson, don't take the slam at BMW drivers too seriously..there are exceptions..and I'm sure you are one of the exceptions. Just like NOT EVERY driver of a Corvette is a balding,midlife crisis,driving 35mph in a 50mph,old fart,NOT EVERY SINGLE BMW driver is a complete,inconsiderate , fucking prick. True story-yesterday,someone in a Beemer stopped for me when I was walking from my car to our shop-and let me pass-rare-but it happens. I've actually witnessed people in Bmw's use their turn signal-again-rare-but it happens. But I'll bet $$ if you call the dealer and talk to a parts guy,turn signal bulbs/parts are just something they don't sell for shit. Seriously. I have some friends who drive BMW's that ACTUALLY DON"T seem to be pricks(well..actually- one's kinda douchey..) But like many stereotypes-there's usually some truth to the stereotype...something about the brand attracts the total self-absorbed asshat. I certainly don't need an article to tell me that. Again-not that the guy next to him in the A5 or G50 isn't also,but I'm betting on that BMW guy. Not that it's the only brand,either(see Prius thread elsewhere on the Anarchy). My city up by my title here says Simi Valley,but I work every day(and have for 10 years) in Westlake Village, Ca.-where the everyman's Toyota Camry is replaced by a 3 series. I may not know BMW mechanicals very well-but BMW drivers I know VERY well. This has happened countless times....The scenario is whatever -3 series -5 series x3- x5-doesn't matter..is slightly in front of me in the next lane... To my kid I say... "Watch this guy-he's gonna not signal-and just cut-me off..wait..there it is! Almost like clockwork..again not saying some Caddy/Ford /Audi/whatever drivers don't ever do that too- but if they are in a BMW you'd better watch for it. And if the guy in the Navigator does try to run you over-you know what brand his other car at home probably is..... ................................................. .....................
