    I drove ~30 hours round trip to New York this weekend to pick up a 2013 X5 M-Sport. Turned out to be a polished turd that had been in a really, really bad accident at some point. After pointing out all the flaws to the kid that owned the small used car dealership, we both agreed it wasn't worth nearly what he was asking. We still couldn't agree on a price, and I drove back home empty handed. The trip cost me ~$1,000 and he wouldn't even refund my deposit. 10/10 douche. First time I've ever had to dispute a credit card charge.

    Just thought I'd share how crappy my last weekend was. At least I stopped at Niagara Falls on the way back home and got to see the falls illuminated while fireworks went off. That was pretty cool. If anyone has a lead on a 2012 or 2013 X5 35i with M-Sport package, cold weather package, convenience package, technology package, heated steering wheel with paddle shifters and heated/cooled/massage front seats... let me know. I know I'm looking for a unicorn, so I'll be looking for a while. Will spend up to $25k.

      I inquired about it a few days ago because it's perfect... and only $20k... but it's sold 😦

        I went through about 6 listings and dealership calls before I finally found a car that wasn't sold.

            Miller Lite is one of the more adjuncty tasting macros IMO. Over-priced for what it is. A little fuller tasting than some other light beers, but still basically fizzy water.

            The fact that they call it a pilsner is a pretty funny though. At least they have a sense of humor.

                "Lite" is that for re-hydrating between beers?

                  It was the Suds Series guys. Rockies play at Coors Field, Brewers play at Miller Park.

                  I don't like Miller Lite either, but had to support the team.

                      No, you're thinking of golf.

                      Baseball is the one with touchdowns and field goals.

                          Just wanted to get shots of these while they're still there. Somebody's doing work up in Sun Prairie.

                            Decided to sit in my car and go through the original 1998 BMW accessory catalog that came with it 

                            IMG3419.JPG

                            This is a actual BMW catalog, and in the bike rack section there is a e38 catching air over a hill and smashing into the ground lmao

                            Untitled.png

                            Must be okay to jump e38's over railroad tracks, we all know what happens when you jump a e36 over one

                            IMG3422.JPG

                            Exactly how I picture every z3 roadster owner

                                  Did a ricer move and dropped a gear in the Del Sol next to Rich on 41. Pretty sure you had zero clue who I was or why I felt the need to do so hahahaha

                                    That was you?? There was a white SUV(?)  that came flying through traffic and then I see / hear this other blur. You're right, ricer gear drop and blasted off. Thought two crazy folks were just playing. When you took off it looked like you were trying to catch the other guy.

                                    Seemed like two or three cops were working that stretch up until Burleigh. One got the SUV and I was looking to see what happened to the Del Sol thinking it had also gotten bit but you were long gone or had already pulled off.

                                      Yeah that was me lol. That SUV was really cruising before it got to you too. It actually slowed down when I dropped a gear so I had to get off the throttle pretty quick. I was going to drop back by you and do it again but that cop flashed his lights once to warn that SUV. Then he drove for a few miles and decided to pull them over. The other day there were five cops in a row with people pulled over on that same stretch haha

                                        It was pretty wild. Glad you didn't get caught up.

                                          I went to look at an Amish house last night.  It does have running water but only cold to a toilet and the kitchen sink.  It's a regular well with an electric pump.  Built in 2016 and the upstairs isn't finished out yet which would make wiring easier.

                                          Considering how long we could live with minimal electricity...

                                          Levi lit the gas lamp in the kitchen and it is just as good as an electric light.

                                          I would have to install a water heater and shower.  The bathroom that is finished was designed for a regular tub/shower to fit so it isn't that big of a deal.

                                          The horse barn has a 50x50 area that has a high ceiling and could be finished out into a shop really nice while still having a 64x50 area for storage and our farm critters.
