Hey Eric! Ronn talks about me? I haven't seen him, Jon and the rest of you guys in awhile. I've been meaning to make a trip to Sac and stop by TNT.
How have you been?

all is well! just trying to stop modding. it's been a good 6 months since i spent a dime to mod my e90, hahahahaha.... now with the new addition, my mod target just steered. got some angel eye, led license plate bulbs, possible some spacers to space out the wheels. LOL!! i ensured my wife before we sign the sales contract "i'm not gonna mod your X5", that's BULLSHIT! hahahaha, the angel eye and license plate LED already ordered.... im afraid i'll get the m-tech kit and some X5M wheels for my E70 next year... another money pit

Very nice, I want to trade in my wife's Shitlander for an X5, shouldn't have bought that damn thing considering we paid cash and talked the dealer down to 34K from the original 39K.
I talked to her about it and she said it's enough, however I told her that when the kids get older I will buy us a 5 Series for a more luxurious recreational driver for the family. She hates my E90 with a passion, she's afraid of driving it for sake of the expense and hates riding in it, she chooses the back to accompany our daughter(not anymore with our son here) so I'm getting murdered on gas when I visit my family in Pomona by taking the said Shitlander with approximately 4 gas stops (2there and 2 back) not counting additional gas when going places with it once we get there. |

as expected, we drove in at 3pm and drove home in the x5 at 7pm. so maybe you can take her to dealer and sit in one and test drive first? sometimes lady needs some sweet talk first to make more effort on the purchase

See, here's the thing, she didn't have a license right away after she got her visa so I'd already been talking to the Mistubishi dealer in Concord and I drove it around and I made the mistake of not thinking for myself(not the selfish manner). She rode in it and she like it, it had enough functionality for her just by observing. We had planned on wiping out a portion of my savings and she was bringing her money that she's had since she was a pharmacist in Japan. We wanted absolutely no payments to make on her car since my $650 for my car is more than enough. So she liked the Outlander GT, but as I drove it and then eventually the costs of the maintenance for very frequent oil changes started pissing me off, even if they were cheap, just the time needed to take the day off to go do it rather than being at home chugging beer, playing Xbox or going somewhere with my family. The thing that pisses me off the most(besides lack of torque) is the touch screen Nav, it sucks and even some of its functionality isn't as good as the iDrive in mine. With military and customer loyalty I should be able to get good rebates besides the other stuff that they offer at Concord BMW. I got 4500 miles to go before my next service period so I'm gonna see if I can take her and while we wait just ask to test drive one. |

dont wait for the next service, there's always other excuses to take her to the dealership Quote:
n surprisingly she asked me to throw in some white license plate LED to it so it is bright like those 18-led i have in my e90. she said the backup camera was too dark at night so she wants some brighter led to lite up the road a little better to see from the camera she didnt know how the hell i already ordered n will be here monday!!! LOL

Damn rain, I was just about done with my pro tune, then the rain hit. Hopefully the sun stays out and maybe get a good pull on my lunch break.
Just blabbing if anyone wants to listen.

hahahaha, now my wife said to me "next time i won't fall into your trap and won't go to dealership with you no more!" i said "it's ok honnie, next time you won't have to go with me, since i got you an X5 this time, next time i'll just go to Porsche dealer myself since that's not your business" LMFAO!!!!!!
last time i was just tell her to go to bmw dealer with me just to look around since we were in the area and then guess what, i ended up trading my TL to my E90, since then we've never go to dealership together til this time, i took her to bmw again and yes, same trap to her and she bite it, i traded my 4Runner to an X5, hahahahahahahaha. but i have to admit it, i have an understanding wife, she knows my passion is all about automotive, as long as im not over the board, she is fine. at least early of the year, 2 months after she gave birth to our daughter, i had a full overhaul from M3 front, CF lip.... all the way to CF CSL trunk done and she didn't say a word. sometimes she just joke around IF im gonna sell my TE37 and the BBK, we can pick up a 3rd car as a daily, i was like HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOOOOO! hahahahaha

My girlfriend is already annoyed with my loyalty to my car. I have to work on my car and or do things to it without her knowing, she is cool, but as long as i take care of things while i am not with her. Once i talk about my car and or the forums with her, she no happy.
