my wife (to be as of March 2015 - Maui baby) calls me a Hoarder of car parts and I usually tell her its for proper reasons or rare parts (for my 8) but in this case, I have a small emotional attachment to the achievement I've helped create for other e53 lovers.
So I will try not to be guilty of having two OE skid plates (and a replica now) cause having the second OE plate gave me the ability to get the replicas made

Sometimes its a rough ride, sometimes its smooth motorin'.
Sometimes she doesnt like how i treat her and sometimes i dont like how she behaves.
BUT at the end of the day, she loves it when I am inside her.
