hi.

hows everyone?

Anyone want to buy an MDX? I'm getting pretty excited about the x5 35d. Holly isn't too happy with the idea of giving up the bimmer, and wants one for herself.

Das M · 04-28-2010, 10:23 PM

lol, sounds like my house. we have been debating going to an X5. nate however is playing the voice of reason (not like usual, he's always the little devil saying "do it").

Park2670 · 04-28-2010, 11:06 PM

I say just buy what makes you happy.

SLCGoonski · 04-28-2010, 11:35 PM

MDX...cuz it's paid for.

Do the research Cody...I'm not telling you to not...just see what it will cost you first. Getting out of a brand new vehicle after a year is usually pretty damn expensive.

SLCGoonski · 04-28-2010, 11:36 PM

I've changed my tune...I'm old, have a kid, and buy 'worth it' stuff now. Like a piano and shit.

Das M · 04-29-2010, 07:28 AM

morning.

"worth it" stuff, like a piano. love that. classic line.

Does that mean you're learning to play said piano? Or perhaps modding said piano?

Good Morning, Utah.

SLCGoonski · 04-29-2010, 09:46 AM

I played piano through high school...but that's been over a decade ago now...

I got such a good deal on my MDX, they're going for more than I owe.

Perhaps some carbon fibre next!

Park2670 · 04-29-2010, 12:47 PM

Wow. Nate is really old. He recommended buying a piano instead of a great cornering device that also happens to take you to work.

I already have a great cornering device that works just fine...and hopefully will for another 50k miles.

That'd be awesome Jason if you can do that...my car, not so much.

I'm on my third HPFP. The first replacement took a few hours. The second time, which was only three months later, they kept it overnight because they opened a case with BMWNA.

Sodex101 · 04-29-2010, 03:15 PM

Ah well that's not to bad I guess. I heard something about using a new type of hpfp any ideas if they are? I mean that many replacements nationwide has to stir something up?

Sodex101 · 04-29-2010, 03:16 PM

Also what do you guys recommend for when my car sits during the summer, a two day then start like most cars? Or a quick run to a canyon and home?

Park2670 · 04-29-2010, 05:27 PM

I'm lost.
