    My first thought this morning was, "I should stay home from work".  Going to work confirmed this for me.  

    This about sums up my day already.

          I came across a fun decision Volkswagen made when they did the front subframes on mk4's. The front control arm bolt threads into a captive nut. This captive nut is not friction welded or spot welded to the subframe. They used an adhesive to adhere it. I was one of the no so lucky many who happened to break a captive nut free when removing one of the control arms. Time to open a hole in the subframe and tack the bugger back in place haha. Luckily the other side stayed put=)

                                    fog light covers? then you can't use your fog lights.  driving while its snowing is the time when fog lights are like little miracles - no snow vertigo glare.

                                      You've never owned an e36 in the winter have you?  These fog lights are little disasters waiting to happen.  BMW only used the most brittle of lenses and theres not an aftermarket out there any stronger.  It's not will they break but when.

                                        You've never owned an e36 in the winter have you?  These fog lights are little disasters waiting to happen.  BMW only used the most brittle of lenses and theres not an aftermarket out there any stronger.  It's not will they break but when.

                                        i've never owned an e36 at all, thank god.

                                        could some lamin-x help instead of full covers?

                                          E36s are just parts cars for e30s
