    Thanks for the tip! I'll have to grab some of those for the e34's.

      Had to make a stop at the hardware store for some new wiper blades halfway home from work on Friday, couldn't see a damn thing. The cracked windshield really rips apart wipers. Anyone have any good recommendations for a windshield replacement? It's about time I did that... 

      Also, went cruising around in the storm for a solid 2.5 hours last night, this car is unbelievably fun in the snow. Got some pictures last night too, really like these two:

          I'd recommend Glass Pro for the windshield. They've done a couple of my personal cars and probably over a hundred for me at work. Great guys and prices are really good. Also, they won't put shitty Chinese glass in your car. I'd expect it to be right around $200.

            Not Novus glass if they have one nearby, the Platteville location removed my cracked window from my truck by kicking it out from the inside and vacuuming up the glass... I could have done that...

              I'm surprised they can do that legally lol. Imagine if they kicked the dash that hard

                Right, and then they told me about it...  I guess they don't know how to replace an old school window that has a rubber gasket instead of glue.

                    Thanks! And that sounds like a great idea, it should definitely happen

                      Gave Glass Pro a call, got a quote for $250 installed which is pretty good compared to other places I called, seemed like a nice guy on the phone too. I'll be making an appointment after the holidays to get this thing sorted. Thanks for the recommendation!

                        Thats cheap! I should inquire about the e21 to get rid of the wiper arm scratch across it from the doofus PO.

                            124.5k: Oil change with 5w40 synthetic, a few more metal particles on the drain plug than the last two changes but I stretched (aka neglected) my normal interval from 3k to 5k miles, so I'm not too worried about it. 

                            Went to Pegasus over the weekend with Dan, that place is awesome. Got a proper helmet and I think that is all I need to start getting this car and my e30 out to some events. Hopefully the ice rally-x is rescheduled to a weekend that works! I was pretty concerned about how I would fit in the car with a helmet on, but I can actually make it work while still being fairly comfortable which was a nice surprise.

                              I once saw a helmet sticking up through an open sunroof at an autocross.

                                      I have clear sidemarkers and corners on my black m3.  I think orange looks better on black.  Want to trade?  I don't think my corners work on a coupe though.  I have a sedan.  Happy to mail you my sidemarkers though.  Let me know

                                        Unfortunately the corners won't work like you said, but I'd be willing to make the swap on the side markers! I'll send you a PM.

                                          On a side note, that rust spot is starting to looks pretty nasty... the last winter or two haven't been too kind and it's doubled in size. If anyone comes across a white/rust free trunk lid for an e36 coupe without a spoiler, let me know.
