Belly pans ruin the fun of leaving your mark everywhere. I notice in the parking lot at work that my car leaves much prettier and quaint oil drips than the other cars. The other cars leave huge, ugly-brown stains. Mine just leaves a cute little black dot.

I actually just found my belly pan in the garage. I'm considering cleaning it off and installing it to find out what all the hype is about.

That describes my cars too. No drips other than from there, but lots of water. AC working great. It's nice to have an air-conditioned box that moves itself around. That's about what I think of cars in the summer these days; but at least one of mine is a Benz. I drove it today, 92F out, controls on auto, sitting in the hot sun, the AC comes on putting out 50F air with the cabin fan on max. Let me tell you, that just feels great.

That's leaving the store. When I set out, cooling the car was not really necessary since I cool the garage. Even before you start the engine, you have comfortable air blowing at you.

I didn't read any prior post in this thread. You said you were bored, and I just thought that this was SOP. I was young once too.

I like pinball machines. Great to break the boredom, but hard to find these days. "They" want you to pay $.50 to play a video game instead.

Yeah pretty much, I'll try to get those pans in the mail this week. I'll just have to go to the UPS store and get a box, but I'm going to try my friends business before that to save you some money.

Hmmmm sounds like someone needs a DeLorean

Maybe a project like this would spice things up for you!
