Good call on the fluid - very clever. :thumbup: I have high hopes for BrakeMotive and, all going well, will swap my 750il to them also.

I also picked up paint for the calipers though it's going to be too cold to do it for a while. Color should be close to BMW fire orange. I wasn't thinking of your gold calipers at the time but one more step to half-twinsies.

Had my bass cabinet in the back after a gig. Left it in the back overnight out of shear laziness. On the way home from work the next day, it rocked just right going around a corner and hit the glass when it rocked back.

I got conflicting responses about coverage at first, but it turns out i'm covered under comprehensive, so it'll be $100 out of pocket. Still have to wait until next week with a plastic wrapped window. It's amazing how suddenly glad I am to spend $100 I hadn't planned on.

I was following my brother during a move to witness the nearly identical situation. In his case a 27" tv. Lucky for him much less expensive car/glass. Was about $200. The bummer for him: was our dad's car!

I hear ya. I received a $100 rebate as a Visa card from DIRECTV the same week I broke my front windshield I just handed the Visa card to the glass repair guy.

After which I called my insurance and dropped the deductible entirely for $3.30/mo. (Takes 3 years to break even). I thought my insurance had an exception for windshield so I was surprised.

It paid off in the end. I also added roadside assistance and that refunded me $150 for a tow recently saving me more than my deductible

I had to read that twice as I wondered why you had fish in a cabinet :confused: it must be time for me to catch up on some sleep this weekend :yawn:
