    Thanks for the suggestion, Matt!

            Thanks!! I'll let you know. I don't think I need a lot of line so whatever is the cheapest BMW option.

                My pepboys fuel line lasted about 5 years then it just split open not too long ago.

                      Nope, I had bought some and the driver side went out, luckily I had an extra so I just popped it right in and drove around like that for a few days and yesterday my passenger side went out. So I'm planning on buying a pair to replace both

                        Bought a snooze mobile for commuting after I sold my E34 to my GF. The E30 was getting pretty brutal going from Long Beach to Burbank everyday.

                        Auto, AWD, silver, plain.


                        Already have a hell of a stereo setup going in. Tint next week, Rally Innovations light bar and lights and coilovers and RSX wheels coming soon. I can't leave things alone, haha. Never owned a Honda before and while it's in fantastic shape and mechanically dialed...the cheapness in the materials even compared to my E30 is pretty staggering. The seats are super comfy and the A/C blows cold but I miss that nice thud when you close the door. It will make a nice sit in traffic commuter/weekend utility car though.

                                Yea bone stock M50NV. I was averaging around 20mpg. Not hateful but I was more concerned with my car getting hit by someone and I didn't like putting 70 miles a day on the car. Also no A/C and black vinyl seats the last week was terrible, haha. The CRV seems to be getting mid 20's and is comfortable, blends into traffic and has A/C!! So far I'm happy with it.

                                The few times I drove the E34 up the OBC said I was averaging 16.1mpg. No bueno.

                                Oh and if it wasn't clear, I haven't sold the E30. It just stays parked for nights and weekends now. On a slight tangent, anyone recommend a good but not terribly expensive car cover? I don't have a garage yet.
