UPDATE SECTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.22.05 - Took some night shots of the BMW and the Avalanche. I gave the Avalanche its own profile, so check it out here.
Also, with the increasing gas prices, I'm sort of looking for a better fuel efficient car, that still has performance. Don't tell me to get a Civic, if I get anything Japanese, its gonna be a WRX or an RX-7. Anyway, I can get like 14 or 15 grand for the Buick, and that could pay for an older BMW M3 [E36]. I've really wanted one of these for a long time, and there's a lot of aftermarket support for them. Does anyone know about M3 MPG compared to a 540i? I get like 20 on average in the 540, and I'm wondering about an M3. [See poll]. NOTE: Right now money is tight, and I'm having a lot of family issues so this will be in like 6-9 months.
6.30.05 - Washed and waxed the BMW yesterday, and took some pics. Uploaded, enjoy.
6.14.05 - Finally got around to washing the Denali, and took a whole bunch of pictures. It should have its own page in a little while. Also took more pictures of the BMW. The Park Avenue is still dirty, but I took a picture a while ago of it while it was dirty, so I'll put that on there just so you can see it in all its spectacularness.
Last weekend we installed the stereo in the boat. Its all sealed up now, so I can't take pictures, but I will once we put it back in the water.
I think I've decided to leave the BMW as-is except for a few more minor mods, because I'm going to buy a project car, or upgrade the Park Avenue.
5.23.05 - Been having some troubles with the BMW lately. Just minor stuff, but the sunroof got stuck open for a couple days... I worship whoever thought of building garages. And there was some something wrong with the injector today, it was only firing on 7 cylinders. But after a bit of RPM's its fine. I think there was some kind of clog in the injector.
I've decided to put most mods for the BMW on hold, since I want a 70-72 Chevrolet Chevelle to work on. If anyone has one for sale, with little or no rust and under like 5 grand, leave a message or email me. If the motor doesn't work, thats alright, but I want the tranny to work. Also, I don't want to have to have it shipped across the US, so only if you have one on the west coast, close to or in Oregon let me know.
Also, bought a new 2005 Avalanche two Saturday's ago... Pics are up. I had a shot of the back, but the lighting was wrong, and it looks bad. So I'll take another one later.
I have also finally found an entertaining use for the Buick. Lots of fun can be had doing E-Brake drifts, burnouts, donuts, and whatever else can be done with tire smoke and e-braking. Other than that, its still boring and useless. I was planning to put some Giovanna's and a badass stereo in it, but I decided to get a project car instead.
Got a Skylon Swoop tower installed on our 1986 Mirage speedboat. Going to go pick up the batracks tomorrow, along with the new Kenwood deck and speakers. I'll try and get pictures if I have any time left over.

Car Keys
For a 10 year old car, its in great condition. But theres a few problems, strictly cosmetic though. First, there's some clear liquid [that looks like superglue, or maybe clearcoat from the repaint] in a few small droplets on the hood. Another is this:
As you can see, the blue cap to one of the lights fell off, but I'm not going to bother with it, since I think I'm going to order some Angel Eye lights.
While taking a picture of how well it shines, I noticed you can see the spots on the hood. I circled them for you.
Check out page 2 for some interior pics.
