I let him know that I have something like 50k posts over nearly a decade of forum browsing under my belt, and to quote the great Kimi Raikonen "Leave me alone, I know what I'm doing."

    http://www.drivingwhileawesome.com/ This is my favorite twice-weekly automotive podcast. Its 4 guys expressing their automotive opinion in a light, hilarious and very informative way. Instead of focusing on the newest supercars and specs they focus on cars with a sense of occasion, great driving dynamics and are attainable.  Last year I attended their 2017 Costal Range Rally , 3-day rally from Carmel, CA to Ventura, CA with ~60 cars and 100 of their listeners. Most recently they have started Radwood , a 80s and 90s car show in California that has been covered by Jalopnik and many other sources.  Enjoy! [image: image.png] [image: image.png]

    The guy is pretty funny, he had several items for sale and all had her holding them in goofy poses.  She's got a sense of humor at least.  She'll be laughing as she freezes your village.

    I have the Mercedes dealer tool Star diagnostic. It's not the throttle body, and the pedal is fine. The voltages for the two potentiometers in the TB are not at the right value coming from the ecu, with the correct proms for the car. When I put the parts car proms back in I get the correct voltage but obviously no start.  I guess it's obvious, just trying to understand why the throttle body would be tied into the immobilizer when it already doesn't allow it to crank if there is an issue.

    My daily is a '14 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X.  I think you can get one around $20 these days I haven't had an issue hauling, I have 2 kids and a large dog that fit in the crew cab, the gas mileage is alright.  It definitely has the power I've needed.  I'm pretty happy with it. [image: bullb.jpg]

    All of them are up and holding. I plan on stopping at the hardware store tonight to add the center support chains. I think I am going too run the chains straight up to the metal beams of the building rather than using the wall. It will be stronger and allow me to place a wheel/ tire behind the chain. **Note all of the extra wheels I need to mount/dismount tires are on the roof of the E36 LOL** [image: IMG\_5361.JPG][image: IMG\_5362.JPG][image: IMG\_5363.JPG][image: IMG\_5364.JPG] Oh and if anyone is looking for spare Bridgestone Potenza RE050A I RFT, 255/35/18R, I have one for sale.

    The Full BananaT
    I took the Lake Express from Milwaukee to Muskegon about a month ago in my stock 2006 330i sport with a full trunk of luggage. I had a light high-center scrape underneath the car while getting off and on again in Muskegon. I pulled straight on--with a stock ride height car I assumed there wouldn't be a need for stancelyfe maneuvers.
