Thanks for the tip. I’ll be spending a few minutes at least checking access through from the back tomorrow. My daughter will be home so I have just the girl to reach through if I can figure out what you did.

Damn you. I was all ok with it and you had to ruin it for me. Now I have to go spend time trying to figure out how you managed it. lol

My 07 335 has 80k miles and hasn’t cost me near that much. Yet anyway. But my neighbor is a german car mechanic. His shop does as good a job as BMW did taking care of it’s issues and charges less when it has to go in. Might want to think about looking around for a competent non bmw mechanic for the future

Won’t work in that car. My 2007 335 has bluetooth but it only works with calls, not music. And while there is an aux option in the stereo, the only thing that has broke inside the car is the usb aux input. I can see it, but can’t reach it to connect or to repair without pulling the whole center console out. And it…

Technically, no. But then again, this is Florida where every other person is from some other bad driving state so, technically, you should be wearing a fire suit and using a racing harness and helmet on your grocery runs around here. I’ll chance the bare feet. Nothing cools you faster than a/c blowing on your feet and…

I used to be the IT manager for a company that sold vacation packages to corps to use as incentives. When we had to actually send people on those vacations, Branson was one of the places we wanted to talk people into because we always got great deals from the area hotels and all the airlines. Having left Missouri when…

So is the mesh fence at the new one. at 15 mph, your fingers wouldn’t be safe at all.

It’s a disease. My family infected me long before I even got my license. As far back as I can remember I had to get a new car as often as every week. Of course, back when I bought them weekly they were hot wheels, but it’s the same ailment. Since I started driving, I’ve been through 23 cars. None of them were leased.…

The days when you could easily find truly comfortable seat cushions is gone.

When I moved into this house a friend with a pickup and I hauled everything. I put the top down, threw a matress over the back of the 97 XK I owned at the time and loaded it up like the Beverly Hillbillies. Volume wise, I moved as much as his pickup.

No you don’t. Just look at their teeth.

Ehhh...you’re just jealous because we’re moving faster than you.

Rubio’s term isn’t up until 2022. That is unless we can get the next congress to enact some legislation that gives us a recall option, or he ends up entangled with Trump/Russia. Of course, those are both long shots.

If you want to see obnoxiously garish, look no further than the XK I used to own. Gold with chromed plastic covers.

With high powered microwaves around, I’d suggest you warn him about his hat. Ever seen what putting tinfoil in a microwave looks like?

There was a time when shareholders did not dictate a companies vision to the extent they do today. When long term growth was the prize over short term wealth. Ford has made choices like that even recently when they switched from steel to aluminum. Killing off their cars feels like a move backwards for them. My…

Being young is no excuse for being ignorant. lackofsituationalawareness is right. And it’s not just CA. CA just has the problem more often because of it’s topography and the prevailing winds. But inversion layers happen everywhere. When they sit on top of an area and the emissions from factories and cars build up, the…

That’s just bs. First, it’s not one state. It’s 14. As the article says, 40% of auto sales come under CA’s emissions rules. And CA needs those rules. The topography and prevailing winds make CA especially susceptible to smog. The prevailing winds and the topography of the land create inversion layers. Smog builds up…

“Great” or not, it sells and more importantly for Honda, it makes a profit. So does Toyota’s Corolla. Both to the tune of about 30,000 per month. The Focus does about half that in sales and loses money on every one. Ford is still paying the price for years of pushing crappy cars and hasn’t done nearly enough to make…

It appears that is what most cars buyers have already done. The problem isn’t really that no one wants a car, it’s that no one wants a Ford car. Honda’s not losing money on the Civic. And it sold 377 thousand of them last year.
