chit chat thread

My wife let my son pick what they were doing today and so he wanted "old mcdonalds" for lunch and to go to Field Park in Mukwonago.  Apparently the wagon made quite an impact on him because he insisted they drive the xc70 as well.  She sent me a snapchat with him so happy to be in there!

Guys, this wagon has backfired on me.  My son just argued with me about taking the M3 to the gym instead of the wagon.  He's going too far with this.

Anyone else having this storm roll through right now?

Yup. Lasted strong for about 20 minutes and now just a calm rain with rumbling thunder all around. Pretty cool! And much needed rain...

I was outside getting the patio furniture and everything put away when it started coming down. Pretty good rain for a bit but has since calmed. Looking at the radar, it looks like we might be getting something a little more serious in the middle of the night.

I have the lower faster version for sale soon if it comes to that...  Not for 3600$ though.

Been in the lower part of the building at work for an hour now with this storm blowing through. Hopefully the F30 has made it through alright. Fond du Lac had it come through pretty good apparently.

I heard on 620 wtmj there was a tornado sighted near Green Lake.  Stay safe!

Anyone get any car stuffs done this weekend? I had intended to do all the things,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ended up with achieving:........................................ a car wash.

[jc43089]

Last week I installed new wiper blades on the v70.  Does that count?

[patsbimmer1]

I drove my car... is that something that people do anymore or is it only working on cars that don't move that counts?

i drive the e30 everyday. even on project days i sit in the drivers seat and make revving noises,  pretend shift and sometimes drive well enough to win the imaginary autox.

[jc43089]

I have sat on the seat from my disassembled e36 in the basement to reminisce.

[SteelBlue]

I sit in the passenger seat(only seat installed) and imagine what it would be like to drive.

I changed a radiator and water pump in the parking lot at work on Friday.

Can't imagine why it was overheating...

It counts about the same as my achievement.

I haven't driven the e30 in 8 months... It would take about 45 minutes to get it running, just lost the motivation.

However, I've been looking at the e92 M3, E60 M5, and C63 AMG a lot lately. Girlfriend wants me to buy the AMG, but I keep going back to the BMW offerings. Did you consider any other cars before choosing your M3?
