Probably has something to do with a person or persons in the F1 governing body. :hehe:

Yup. I was told to bend over and grab my ankles to the tune of 6 bills lighter.

Better than the X5 that was in the shop: it's auxiliary fan need to be replaced, which required most of the front end disassembled.... $1200. :sweat:

Actually, I'm rather relieved: I thought my work would've been closer to $1K... :sweat:

1K for brakes. No way, that would have been ridiculous.

For that much they better have givin' you Brembo Sport rotors...

It would've been more than $1K, 'cause they'd probably have to upgrade the entire brake system... :beaten:

Eventually, I'm going to reach the point (very soon) where the repair cost won't be worth it and I'll need to get a new car... :sweat:

Dang, I wish Obama would do something about personal interest being tax-deductible: I'd run out and buy a car this minute.

Haha. Dude, if he could deliver on some of his campaign ish...like lower health care costs...that'd be a nice place to start.

I have a solution for you: Call yourself a bank and they will throw interest free money at you, given the prime rate is virutally 0. You could buy a car and then lend out the leftover cash at highly usurious rates and f*ck everybody over worse than Rodney King. It is the American way.

Become a corporate whore and you'll have troubles no more!

Sorry for the rant. :bow: Comedy helps, as usual.

I'm sure your conscience serves you well.

The only streak identifiable with these corporate anuses is they are akin to streaks of sh*t on 10 year old Underoos.

You're being too kind.

If public lynchings were allowed, these guys would be toast.

Seriously. So cars...I've read other articles that say Schumacher is coming back to F1...so what the hell. I guess articles regarding his neck injury must have been wrong.

There were early reports about his neck, but his seems to be okay, since he's been testing Ferraris in Jerez, Spain.

I think his driving experience as The Stig on Top Gear will be indispensable in his come back to win the championship.

Some say his skin has the texture of a dolphin's, and that wherever you are in the world, if you tune your radio to 88.4, you can actually hear his thoughts... all we know is, he's called the Stig.
