Put a scratch on his bumper, which he absolutely flipped over. A month later, as the base was preparing for its annual open house, a fork lift ran into it.

We just howled. That Christmas, I drew this guy's name for the gift exchange. So off I went in search of the perfect gift. Didn't take me long, either. :D

At the Christmas dinner, we all started exchanging gifts. Guy I drew starts to open mine and finds an ornately decorated box which says BMW Repair Kit. What he didn't see at the time was the asterisk on BMW and in very small print at the bottom (Broken Motor Wheels Corporation). He opens the box to find a can of Bondo and black spray paint! :D

So, do you base that statement on fact or typical rhetoric from those that rarely travel outside their county?

I got a alpine cda-9855r head unit with 2 x alpine mrd-m500 amps stable at 500w rms at 2 ohms. Each amp goes to a focal - 33v2 dual voice coil sub rigged at 63 hertz stable. Also got a set of focal poly glass 3 ways running off an alpine mrd-m350 amp and some focal 5 inch speakers for some rear fill cant remember off hand what ones they were. I have probably spent about ?4000 on my sound system, i'm an audio junkie lol :D
