Haha, some people were looking at me(from their cars or on foot/bike) like I was crazy. They probably caught a whiff of my brakes. Had to let them know I was serious!

Haha nothing like the good old smell of worn brakes or burnt rubber. lol

Nice!! Don't worry bout it. Sometime stuff happens. I've had mine since Feb. 2008 and it never once gave me trouble, but these last 6 months have been hell. Hopefully this rough patch is past us now.

Wood Grain Intake Pipe -

What do you guys think? I think its very unique and different. All three pictures represent the intake without high-heat automative clear coat.

Very different and unique. For your car, Nick? This seems very VW or Audi style. Haha.

I remember you telling me about your previous car. I can see the two worlds blending. Honestly I like it and think that similar mods it'll all come together. As for making it more BMW, don't worry about that. Haha. I can't wait to see it finished and installed! Post more pics of the process if you don't mind!

Oh boy, so I guess I was driving too fast down my street and I got home, then I remembered I had to go back out and get bread and bodywash at the Fresh and Easy. This time I drive slow just because. So I see a man with a baby crossing, I slow to a stop and then notice he starts coming at me, my windows are down of course. Then he says to be, "Hey, don't go anywhere." And proceeds to stand right in front of me. "Don't be driving down here at 50mph, there's a lot of kids out here."(there wasn't) I said "okay, I was in a hurry." His response of course, was "I don't care if you are in a hurry." I really wanted to say, "I understand, I have kids too, but at least I don't have to hide behind them to approach another man to tell him, of all things, to slow the fuck down." So on the way back I know he and his neighbors were mad dogging me, but I was laughing at the thought of a pic a friend had sent me moments before, so at the corner taking me down to my house I turned the wheel sharply and decided to floor it to 3500-5000RPMs to make the tires squeal just enough to serve as a passive "fuck you." The main problem is, I don't believe I was and the fact that my new intake sounds beastly might make it seem like I am going fast when the tach tells me differently or even my bodykit coveys it as well. Oh well, looks like I'm a public enemy now. Seriously though, "let me hide behind my child and tell this guy to slow down so I know he won't get out of his car and kick my ass." Are you fucking serious? Not that I would get out of my car to kick his ass anyways, and it also seemed like he attempted to foul the road by leaving his water hose out towards the center of the road with the water running, was that supposed to make me afraid? I'm halfway expecting my doorbell to ring either tonight or sometime later this week.
