that's sweet. a bit rich for me - i like the atlas 'kiwk bay' though, it doesn't go as high but it's also less than half the cost.

I agree!
I still can't believe he didn't win at Bimmerfest 2 years ago....

that's because bimmerfest judges only like flashy/tacky looking cars. his was too clean lol

Had to order a new tire because of this little guy

That's not patchable?

No, they said it would have to curve and it wouldn't stay.

I use those rubber plugs with rubber cement and never had an issue with the many times I've used them. They're always in my trunk so I can fix it on the side of the road in 5 minutes.

Learned a lot and got some great bonding time in with my car and friends doing Inspection II DIY, MUCH better than shelling out the $600-800 for a shop to do it.

Yeah, I could never shell out that much to a shop for basic stuff. I learned to work on cars because a shop wanted $1900 to do the timing chains on my GTI and I wasn't having it. Talk about getting intimate... thank goodness for online DIYs!

Everything went well, things are looking great at 40k+, even the trans and diff fluid looked pretty clean, but I replaced it anyways. I forgot my power bleeder at my folks place, so I had to save the brake fluid flush til next weekend and decided to hold off on PS fluid till then too.

Replaced my HID bulbs with new Phillips today, one was starting to turn pink and flicker. Bright as the shining sun now!!

Bs. I've patched tires closer to the sidewalk than that. Sounds like they got you.

Yeah they probably did, my mom was the one who took my car up there, they probably tricked her.

I had the same thing with my wife's TSX recently I guess I'm glad someone else confirmed what my tire shop said, b/c I didn't really believe them. Sorry these things can't be patched like back in the old days.
