        $250 off of a Matco tool driver that was getting out of the business. I bought a bunch of BMW specific tools that day. But I am on the wrong coast to loan them out.

        Teaguer why do you say the wrap is going to allow them to fail sooner rather than later? Reasoning?

        Only thing I can think of is Moisture being trapped in the fabric when the car is off.

                shhh, i was tryn to keep my laziness on the DL.

                no, no progress at all. besides buying more parts for a car that doesnt even move yet. im going to be unemployed as of 1/1/08 (tryn to get in as much hours as i can before then), so as of then i will have alot more wrenching time, and i already have bought more than enough parts, so as long as i can afford gas im good to go!

                      Oh shit man, join the club. At least it looks like I'll have a job by then, but still lemme know if you need any extra wrenching hands. Who knows what my schedule will be like but I think it'll be a little screwy at least for a while.
