      If you google it you can find it for 9.99. (I did)

      Also, it's not available in .pdf, It's Adobe digital to stop people from stealing it....

              I ordered a 5 gallon jug of Mobil 1 for the e30 from Walmart online for pickup. I went to the back where the pickup is (sneaky bastards make you walk through the entire store) showed the bar code to identify the order and was on my way out in under 2 minutes.

              At the door I was stopped and accused of stealing it (although I had not been near automotive) As I showed them the receipt I said I would not steal but if I did it would not be 24.99.

                As a total noob, is this a good book? Keep in mind I am not mechanically inclined.

                    $20 is nothing, but people are strange about what they spend money on. Like my roommate thinks its a waste of money that I pay for Spotify, but every morning he walks out of his room, walks past my coffee machine, gets into his car, passes 2 7-11's, and drives to Starbucks and then drives back.

                      If you hold out you can get the Bentley cheap. I got one today for 23.99 shipped on eBay.

                        ^ I found a free semi-searchable pdf download somewhere a while back, but the bentley hasn't ever come in handy for me. It's good to have but you're better off searching these forums and the internet for how-to guides

                        One time I was at Sears buying a new cutoff wheel for my buddy. I didn't know much about the sizes etc so I brought the old one in with me. As I was leaving the cocky sales guy actually asked whether I'd paid for my buddy's clearly used cutoff wheel. And I buy stuff from Sears all the time!


                        it's a Kenny Powers quote on wheels

                          I bought a PDF version of the Bentley on eBay and like printing the pages I need but also like having the book. But not for 100 bucks, that's why I held out until I found it cheap.

                          Idiots that think they are the police make me laugh.

                            Sure it isn't a lot overall, but the little things add up and getting into lazy habits can turn into missing out on opportunities.
