                  Replaced the mushy rubber front subframe bushings on the Volvo with delrin ones from Kaplhenke racing this morning. It still doesn't feel like a BMW but a huge improvement.

                    So if I towed my Maxima to the Nissan dealer and said the security system is locked I just need the security reset why the guy is worried about the back seat being removed or a gasket that doesn't look quite right on the intake manifold? Nice of him to check that out but I'm only paying for the service I asked for... maybe today they will actually just reset it.

                      Most dealerships are flat rate or hourly+flat rate so they're making money on upselling recommended repairs.

                        One look at my Nissan and it's obvious that I am just running it into the ground and don't care as long as it starts and drives. 250k miles, very rusty etc. It's been a good car besides the random security lock issue. It was a flaw in 99 and part of 2000. Steer clear of those.

                              +2. really, any one of us driving an older car like e30, e36, e34, etc is dumping a far higher percentage of $ based on actual car value than is logical to most people.

                                Speaking of spending a ton of money on an older car, I just bought an engine to swap into my already swapped e36 today.

                                  But these are BMWs that we are talking about. A rusted out Nissan is totally different, although it is a 5spd. :)

                                          I agree with Hundyandley, I am very excited it is washing the salt away.  We had clean roads, then that last snow came and they salted the hell out of them again.
