Oh and for "what I did". Replaced my useless rear wiper with a badass model. Never cheap out on blades


Fit BMWЯ into the most ridiculously small garage. The driver mirror actually flipped the weather seal over on the garage door as I was backing out.



Got in an insane Chicago style parking mess. Wow about 1 inch from backpack.

Replaced the fuel filter and air filter on the X. On our old Audi, it was just a 10 minutes job, but on the X it was close to two hours.

People at U-Haul doubt the towing capacity of my iS. 80mph on the interstate is a piece of cake.

I believe it is a Subaru SVX. Which begs the question, what are you doing with it?

I picked up the Ridgid ProTube yesterday, now I have the FULL Ridgid tool transport set.

This set fits in the back of the X with the rear seats up, (with 5 passengers). Seems like Ridgid designed the sizes/shapes for the E53. Unobstructed view out the rear window too.
