  1. id start it up for 5 mins, let it run, turn it off, then hose it down with that orange gunk engine cleaner. then blast it with a hose.

     

    actually not a bad idea...after the hard grime is taken care of by degreaser of your choice (purple power, etc etc) move on to Honda Spray Polish or Original Spray Cleaner & Polish

  3. Actually, I'm impressed the way that thread ended up over at OB. Hope Timmay becomes a contributor over here and both boards will benefit from another active member in the community!

     

    your pragmatism speaks volumes but I fear it may be falling on deaf ears

  4. BMW E46 touring....but finding a manual AWD is likely impossible (they're out there but extremely rare in that combo)

     

    you can rather easily find a manual RWD E46 Touring and if you're worried about winter performance, a set of winter rubber is easily better than AWD, all things considered

     

     

    if anything though, I would eschew BMW AWD......they seem to kill front axles A LOT and it's unnecessary weight

     

     

     

     

    manual RWD E39 528i (straight six M52B28) or 530i (M52TUB30) can be found too

     

     

    if you decide to go BMW, lemme know if I can assist you in looking and if local enough, examining the car ;)

  5. Safelite quoted me $200 to replace the glass on my 97 M3 coupe.....or (on their suggestion) 60 bucks to fill in with epoxy the blemish that made me go to them for a quote........not sure why I never fixed it

     

    in any event, a guy I helped replace struts on his M3 in Dublin and who works at Safelite told me Safelite gets their glass made by PPG.........AFAIK, PPG has great QC so I wouldn't mind them replacing a busted part............this is all hazy in my mind though since these discussions happened in mid 2010

  6. I thought the later models simply have software to fix the trans issues from the 1st model year

     

    please confirm if that is the case, OP....if it is so, there's no reason to not buy an '09 and just flash the transmission software (at dealer or on your own)

     

    aside from the transmission problems, the later cars updated engine software for more power

  7. LOWUT?!

     

    Parents of a five-year-old girl in Grant County, Wisconsin are pressing charges for first-degree sexual assault against a then six-year-old (now seven-year-old) boy. The accusation? Playing doctor with their daughter.

     

    Although too young to be prosecuted, the boy could be listed on the permanent sex offender registry when he turns 18.

     

    continued in the following link

    I'm curious as to what CR thinks but I believe this is a case of politicains thinking they are entitled to better treatment because they are in a position of government

    Among the suit’s claims is that the boy was selectively accused of a felony for playing doctor with the daughter of a Grant County political figure. It also alleges that the investigations by Kopp and Moravits (officer and social worker, respectively) were haphazard and biased in favor of the girl’s father because of his political status and that Riniker (the Distict Attorney) did not act reasonably in charging a 6-year-old with first-degree sexual assault
