    It’s worth it imo, it ends up being a better value based on condition for an equivalent age/mileage. Besides the road trip the process is the same. The X5 was the first vehicle I bought through a dealership but the only difference there is just waiting on the title to get processed and sent out. The dmv counter doesn’t change regardless.

      Much scared. No plan. Only read half a baby book. Baby seat still not installed. Looking for used BMWs instead.

      congrats!

      plan? nah. i doubt your parents had a plan for you, look how you turned out.

        Just make sure that once the seat is strapped in and snugged down, you give it a couple pats and tell yourself “that’s not going anywhere”. Only then, are you truly a dad.

          Wasn't really feeling it today, but still managed to get a couple decent photos. I was surprised by how hard it is to get those panning shots.

              Yeah. Not something I've tried before. This was the only other one out of 20-something that was I even close to nailing.

              The Le Man's prototype about to devour some actually vintage 2-liter cars is amusing to me.

                  I know it’s been pretty quiet around here but just figured I should post an update in case someone needs to get ahold of me. I’ll will still try my best to check the site daily but as usual if somebody needs my attention, pm or preferably text me. 

                  Im starting a coding Bootcamp this week for the next 6months as a beginning to finally transitioning to a new career. 15hrs a week on top of the time suck that is driving a truck is gonna be a lot but the payoff will be worth it. Looking forward to gaining back a better quality of life and to start building some of these dream projects I’ve been accumulating for “some day”.

                  I’ll be at the badger bimmers door county rally next weekend, that’s the last social event I plan on doing for the year. Didn’t find time to work on the e34’s even this year, but if anyone wants to join I have an open seat in the x5.

                    Notice a bunch of "beef" popping up in the graffiti on my way downtown a while back. Finally got around to taking a walk to check it out. Near as I can tell, "4AL" put up a bunch of stuff, but it's all been covered up, or otherwise disrespected by the locals. Didn't really see any kind of retaliation, but I may not even know what I'm talking about.

                              Thank you, both.

                              Daylight savings has forced me to walk before work, because it's frigging dark after work. I guess my disposition happens to be better in the morning... It turns out it's easier to take pictures when you don't have a days worth of stress hanging over you.

                                  well its been a few days, sitting at $10.5k now. Really curious where this ends up price wise now that the market has softened. Also lol at the professional dye job comment from the seller. Wonder what happened to the fender as well?

                                    Reserve not met at 17k, I think that's more than fair given the driver fender being trashed. The seller is going to have a hell of a time trying to get more than that in the current market in my opinion.

                                      Anyone have experience with Minis? 1st Gen vs 2nd Gen? I've mostly been looking at first guns. Assuming most of the nice ones are on the market because they're due for a timing chain...

                                          Lol. My standards are lower than most I guess. I'm not far from turning up at a dealer and driving away in a Chevy Spark at this point. Just need something to get from A to B that isn't going to bore me to death.
