That does sound perfect.. Can I lap the Nurdburgerring faster than a 1997 Camry?

[B C]

Camrys and siennas all run sub 7 minute laps. Anyone that keeps count faster than that is just involved in their own little penor measuring contest.

But really. Financing cars is scary, this is why i have cheap crap

With that said, just bite the pillow and get an m5!

[Ryan...]

I've always wanted another M5, and dat V10..... But, the more I think about it, the more I believe I should just wait for the e92 M3 to drop in price a little more. I dont know that I could handle sub 10 MPG and the potential rod bearing issues. Sounds like the 6 speed trans is directly out of the e39 M5, which was a good transmission, but many on m5board have said it doesn't feel right in the e60. The 7 speed SMG was meant for that car, but I haven't found a single person without some complaint about comfort/maintenance on the SMG system.

If you're watching the Badger game - I'll be at the 40 yd line acouple rows up! Look for the funny looking white guy in a Badger hat (should be the only one there...).

I just realized I have heated door locks on the e34.....mind is blown

How did you find that out?! I suppose I never had frozen locks in it at all...

[Earl]

I was looking online to see if others have had issues with their lock freezing and saw people mention heated locks.

I went outside to notice my lock was frozen yet again. I lifted my handle for 30 seconds and my lock was unfroze=P

Thats pretty dang cool

[Earl]

Never knew cars that old were equipped with such options. Very cool to find out though=P

[patsbimmer1]

A lot of the e36's have heated locks as well. Its awesome!

I really don't mind tangent, but I'd rather not use cotangent ever again in my life.

Its like the X, Y, and Z buttons on a Sega Genesis controller. they dont get used often but when they do get used, you need a burrito.

Take your maths elsewhere.  I can't even....

Anyone else want to punch their boss in the head?

Thankfully not. I work for some kick ass people.

[B C]

^only saying that because his skates are under a watchful eye.

[rampelsauce]

I could go for punching my boss in the head on occasion.  We're usually pals, but sometimes I want to hit him right between the eyes.

[jc43089]

My direct boss is great, but his boss who is the maintenance manager here is the crazy one.  The most unrealistic expectations and timelines, he has only gone to college and been a corporate engineer before coming here.  Doesn't even mention until last Wednesday at 4pm that a new line that was previously planned to start up on 12/8 now should start up today 12/1 because he just told production that it would be ready.  So I bust my butt, have it tested and working by 10AM today and I have no mechanics to set up anything and the operators don't even start until Wednesday...  It's straight from a Dilbert comic.

I spent the morning talking about The Walking Dead with my boss.  I can't really complain about him ever.

[REKIII]

My boss is a douche.  Ending his life would be a great thing for society.

My boss is pretty cool. He's likely retiring in the next couple years so he's real chill.
