Yes I have thought of it as an accomplishment to brake as many things as I do.

I feel like and am the anti midas ad compaign

The say "We do that"

I say "I brake that"


I broke a lot of stuff over the years and hopefully many more to come. The key is to have cars that have relatively cheap parts. My W124 parts were not cheap as the W123. My e30 bimmer has fairly cheap parts. There must have been millions of these cars made.

New bimmers are so nice. I would not mind owning one of them. my next car may be a c280 they look like a nice compromise of performance and MB sturdyness and they can be had for not too much money.

I may buy a 96 740i but this little screw up would have cost me alot more money to repair.

For what is it worth I broke the first side in about 3 hours of work and the other side in under 1 hour so there some progress.

thanks
