Well no, not actually. My retirement is in piles of gold that I buried in various spots around my backyard.

I got a rock solid 2006 E46 with 150K. I've always done my own work and this is the first BMW I've ever owned. I was ready for it to be finicky and hard to work on, but I've so far been impressed. Besides oil changes, I've only had to replace the oil sending unit and the motor for the convertible top. Both of those components were easily accessed and replaced. I paid about the same for this car as you would for a new Hyundai Elantra.

My brother had an F30. It was in the shop for the majority of time he owned it. Same exact problem every time, some exhaust gate malfunction.

saw them in 1979 at "The Decade" in Pittsburgh. The $4 cover charge was well spent. I think they had to sing "Roxanne" twice. a few weeks later I met ms. blig, so it was a damn good year for me.

Yeah, the GOP is really gonna love this one. I'm sure their corporate owners will be all "sure, go ahead - it's only billions out of our pockets."

I'm sorry, were we waiting on the Democratic policy platform that Republicans really love? That sounds like something we'd do.

"That's brilliant! Were you trained as an auto mechanic?"

"No, but I owned a 2002."

The next time someone tells me how they miss the bipartisan days when Tip and St. Ronnie could work together, I'm going to punch them in the jimmies.
