I think my car was down for the better part of a month last time...

last time the car had to be towed in;
this time I noticed an oil leak (getting on the exhaust/turbo) ~ and have probably a combined twenty minutes tops of driving on since noticing the oil leak... (I stopped driving it once i noticed the oil leak was causing smoke... 2nd insured car ftw!)

I was bs-ing a bit last night with my regular service adviser and he's going to look into this today;
I'm hoping to figure out if something was damaged before, and maybe overlooked ~ and only now coming apart...

but the short answer is yes.

morning all!

you shut it!

I'm hoping... and thinking something was overlooked from early this year...
it's totally plausible...

I have no real reason to suspect this will be an ongoing trend...

BTW - you got internet!?

Sound bar is better than the speakers in the TV, and a lot cheaper than 5.1 or 7.1. I don't think Sylver is an audiophile haha.

Steve - Jordan... can someone clue me in as to what's going on with the car pictured in #5;



those totally look like 1990's Corvette wheels....

are they actual Corvette wheels ~ and the hubs have been swapped to accommodate the conventional GM-RWD (car) bolt pattern??
(I was going to ask this before - but I forgot)

How the heck did that Bmain (horribly photoshopped btw) get into the final round??

NO offense Jordan, but I think I'm going to vote for an underdog who's currently got zero votes ~ but IMHO has the best looking photo of the lot....
