I'm under warranty, I figure when the warranty is up that will be a good time time to trade or sell.
What have you done to your MSP today?

Though I wouldn't have gone with a BMW, I'd say you got a very good price for the MSP.
started my spring swap last night. took a bit to get it loose cause i didnt see the bolt on a retainer in the rear lol. only got one done but the other 3 should be faster.
so far a blown strut. but cant afford to replace right now. id be surprised if all 4 arent blown at 110k km

Fooled around with the AFC a little today. I've been getting some serious fuel cut with the see-saw weather we've been having.

Hell yeah man. Having the correct tools at your disposal makes it all the more easy. Just wish we had a lift too!
You say that but since it was finished, the garage has seen the car get lowered, WGA replaced, SS brakelines + bled, and countless coats of wax applied. After all of which the garage was no dirtier after I finished. Some of the busiest race shops in the world are cleaner than most restaurants. Its not the work you do, but how well you take care of the environment you work in. Makes it a HELL of a lot easier to spot when something is amiss too.

Relax it was a joke lol. I agree being clean does help with organization, but everybody is different and I for one am pretty messy but I still know where I put stuff haha.

a driver is only as good as the car he drives.....and a self made home machanic is only as good as the tools and the garage he works in.
