    ^^kinda funny how the cell phone has replaced so many gadgets we used to carry around. I will even trow in iPod's to the mix (only because my crap Vortex can't hold any amount of music)

    I remember spending HOURS dubbing stuff either on to cassettes or CD's (the long lost art of the mixtape.) If your car didn't have an ambient temp gauge, you could get those stick on things you put on the mirror, or the stick on round digital clocks.

    My wife gave me a really nice watch a few years back, and honestly, the amount of times I have worn it I could probably count on one hand, it just feels weird to wear a watch anymore. Time marches on!

    Guess that's why the first part of "Hot Tub Time Machine" cracks my ish up:

      Found a nice puddle on the floor of the garage last night. M3 decided to start weeping coolant. Time for new hoses!

      I wear watches, but only for fashion. Hell, they have analog dials and I can barely tell time. ;)

        I wear a watch every day. My arm feels naked if I'm not wearing one.

          This reminds me, I need a new watch badly. I haven't felt the same since it broke a year or so ago. Recommendations?

              I had friend who's brother worked for Wyden & Kennedy, and he used to always sport some kick-ass new watch.. I was jealous to say the least. Made my Vegas cheapo knock off's look like crap..

                If the puddle is up front, check the radiator drain plug first. Could be a really easy (and cheap) fix.

                  It was one of the t-stat hoses. Only the super short cheap one, but I'm going to take the opportunity to replace them all.

                    That's a good E30 owner! ^

                    I used to never rock a watch now I love them. I'd never spend more than 500.00 on one. My girl got me a really nice Nixon watch and I love it. Feels nice and heavy.

                      The heater core hoses are fun to get at, the rest area cake. If you have the heater core recall/bypass make sure you get the correct replacement hoses.

                        Installed my us ellips and ddm hid kit last night, holy crap batman. There is so much more usable light. So glad I made the switch, I just wish I have more driving to do at night now

                            Swiss Army watches are great. Classic good looking watch that never go out of style. I wear mine with everything.
