Meet and Greet at Leonards

WOW! What a great time! In attendance were:

  • Jon in Richmond
  • Mike in Richmond
  • Jay in VA
  • Leonard
  • Tim in N FL
  • Me

Leonard’s wife made beans, Leonard grilled brats, and Tim bought a car! Leonard’s (now Tim’s) 535is is one of the best examples of this car that I had ever seen. Jon’s euro M535i is a beautiful example as well, but what ‘wowed’ everyone was Mike’s car. This car is just beautiful! If you’ve been around the myE28 community for a year or so, you’ll know the history of the ‘Ross Maza’ car. It’s nothing like previous prospective buyers claimed it to be.
Of course, Jay’s car generated quite a bit of conversation as well, and now it has M5 driver’s side doors. So, it’s even more ‘beautiful.’ I didn’t have my camera with me, but Mike and Jon were taking pictures. So, I’m sure I’ll find some to post tomorrow!

Now, I gotta go watch Lost!

New at Autoblog: DIY maintenance write-ups

Autoblog Maintenance 101: Oil change – Autoblog

I’m sure quite a few of you have changed your own oil at one time or another (and probably quite a few more have not). Eric Bryant at Autoblog has written a stellar write up of the everyday oil change, and gives some very good reasons for doing it yourself. His procedure isn’t just, drain, change filter, fill. He goes more in depth, suggesting other things you should check out while you’re in there. I change my own oil on my BMW and on my wife’s GMC. I love doing it and, like Eric says, it gives you a chance to check things out under the car.
