Damn I wish I got in on this, we are ordering my car tomorrow. Its to bad. such a great knob!!! btw, how do you use the iDrive without the knob on there?

bmwexecutive · 07-11-2006, 04:39 PM

Argghhhh... for some reason or another it seems I can never get these knobs out. I was on my way to the post office today around 4PM and as soon as I got there it started pouring. Like I mean MAD! pouring. The rain was going sideways and I wasn't about to get out of my car and go bring the knobs inside to ship. Sorry guys, but when it's raining like that I don't open my car door for anything --- unless it was life or death of course. :P

I felt like I missed some kind of hurricane bulletin or something. It got dark as though it was 9PM when it was only 4:15PM. Still going on at this moment too actually.

Anyway, sorry guys. It'll go out tomorrow.

ZuerstBMW · 07-11-2006, 05:32 PM

Excuses, excuses.

I know, I can confirm this because it did the same thing here. Its either dry as hell here or it rains every damn day. ugh. Thats Florida for you.

Get another 5 people together and I'll do it for you. Ehh, hell. I'll do everyone a favor. Whoever wants a 5 series knob for their 3er can get one without having to go through a group buy, but I'm going to charge $20 extra for the trouble of having to do each one by themselves. So if you want to send me your 3er knob to be fitted into a 5er knob, it's going to be $160. And if you need me to order a new 3er knob for you to be fitted into a 5er knob, it's going to be $195. How's that sound?

Post here or PM me if you're interested.

It won't today. Your mail should be getting there within the next couple of hours if it hasn't arrive already.

Time to go make some money parking cars for the 97x Summer Rock Show.

Post some pics when you get the knob, alright?

Okay, I'm off to the 97x Summer Rock Show to make a few hundred bucks.

If only my friend's company who owns the land was insured for this kind of thing.... I could park up to 400 cars (like I did last December for 97x's NBT5 concert) and make 10 bucks a car. Oh well, $300 is better than nothing for a few hours work.

ZuerstBMW · 07-13-2006, 11:53 PM

Just got back from Disney and Universal Studios. Hope you made some big money, not spent it like me. Oh well, It was my birthday.

Hope you had fun!

Yeah, I was able to park 20 cars and made $200 but ended up giving one girl her money back because she was leaving about an hour after she parked and was really nice about it. It was hard earned money considering I was standing under an overhang in the rain (while the rain was going sideways) holding a parking sign half the time. I also made an extra $150 yesterday doing some extra stuff the land owner needed done. So I made out with $340 yesterday for about 5 hours work. Not bad.

The good news (at least for me) is that the concert was POSTPONED (you have no idea how much this pissed off the 7,000 people in attendance) and I can make the money all over again in a couple of weeks.

Apparently, the rain was coming down so hard and with all of the lighting they thought the audience might get electrocuted because of all of the power running in the amps and stuff on stage. And I heard on the radio one of the bands lead singers refused to play in the rain because it would get his hair wet.

Oh, and I can just imagine what it was like down there at Coachman Park.....pouring rain, lots of dirt and grass, more than 7,000 people walking all over it. Slip and slide fest! HAHAHA!
