I miss my old hammer.

Every once in awhile when i get in my honda and wait for the glowplug relay to click off and then realize it doesnt have one lol. Even though my honda is much Much faster. I miss my old diesel that would never die, (and the electrical gremlins on this car are infuriating) Vacuum isnt so bad..

Havent forgot about you guys, hopefully i can scrape enough cash together to get a little beater 240d

Lots of people were probably wondering what you were thinking when you sold it. Buyers market here. Flippers are cutting their profits or sitting, starry-eyed would-be road trippers are selling for a loss. You do need cash money of course. Treat those Okies nice when they come west, they've had it rough.

guess you have destroy in order to rebuild sometimes.

consider it your motivation for achievement. -- years of maintenance-free driving pleasure. What degree are you working on?

Thumbs up what degree?

I was going to guess "Banking and English" but I couldn't find an icon that was playing billiards .

In all seriousness, good luck with school. It's good thing to be doing in these economic times You'll get your "E"
