It's a little Alfa of some kind.

I just recently purchased a Cold Steel 4" Ti-Lite with Zytel handled knife. Nice little folder.

About a month ago exactly I bought a bunch of stuff from the IPD garage sale event. A ScanGaugeII, filter wrench, trim removal tool, bone tool and a few other things. I also stocked up on oil filters and got a new fuel filter, crush washers + magnetic drain plug from FCP.

I bought gas. But that was about 3 weeks ago. Maybe I can stretch it for a month. [sm=happy046.gif]
Sorry to interrupt what you're doing, but I have a quick question for you. IT seems that we are in the minority when it comes to the S70 AWD. I really like yours by the way, mine is dk blue and shows even slightest spec of dust. I was told today by IPD that they don't have eibach lowering springs\bilstien touring class shocks for our cars, or any lowering springs or shocks for that matter. HE said they can't really be lowered without some expensive modification because of the self leveling rear shocks. Is this true? I hope not. Will the sway bars from IPD fit on our cars? Have you put yours on yet? Thanks for your help!

Mine had 92K on it when I got it and I put 2K more on it in a week. Ours is Alpine White with the Saddle Brown interior. Really wanted that interior more than anything. Book on it was around $18,000 and I got it for less that that. Not much less, but less.

I hate to say it, but I really wanted an S60 R, but this car just felt so much better to drive and they have a very good reliability rating. Wife really disliked the S60 from a comfort standpoint and the cramped backseat.

So overall it rides nice and everything? Ive been looking to pick one up cheaply, it would be a great car for my son...and myself. My Z3 has over 100k and it doesnt look it but idk if thats a characteristic of all BMWs or just my previous and current Z3s.

Exchanged the A/C charge gauge. It broke. Maybe because I left a can attached to it.

Also got a new car buffer.
