Pule is made exclusively at Serbia’s Zasavica Special Nature Reserve, located 30 miles outside of Belgrade. At roughly $576 a pound, it is the world’s most expensive cheese, and its extreme price tag is made all the more surprising when you discover it’s made using donkey milk.

Donkey milk contains 60 times more vitamin C than cow’s, so it’s extremely healthy, but production is far from cost-effective. Around 25 liters are required to make just one kilogram of cheese, and each donkey typically produces just 200 milliliters per day.

Also cool: flying amid vultures in the Spanish Pyrénées. They know way better than us humans where to find the best thermals in the area: it's their instinct and it's all about efficiency (takes less effort to gain altitude in a lazy way). Just look where a flock keeps circling and hear the variometer beeping in excitement once you join their circular flight path (thermal bubble) and follow them moving to another thermal bubble. Yes, they allow you to fly right next to them - they're not scared of the 'big bird' joining the flock (they must have experienced it before, knowing that you're no threat for them). Don't stall. They may briefly give you a weird look so now and then but they mind their own business with their wings spread. Spatial awareness: do mind though other human freeriders/copycats in 'big birds' around you also circling inside the thermal bubble.

The "Roomba" was actually invented in the '50s and known as the Robovac.

There was a book in the Dewey 001.6 section of my high school library in the 1970's about constructing an autonomous vacuum robot with steps/ledge sensors, bumpers, and a return-to-home charger locating scheme based on sounds and a light strobe.....

Childhood friend’s family had one of those Volvos. We called it a football. 🤣

The longest recorded mileage for a car is over 3.2 million miles, achieved by a 1966 Volvo P1800 owned by Irv Gordon, a schoolteacher from Long Island, New York.
(This remains the highest verified mileage for a private, non-commercial vehicle. Some commercial vehicles (like taxis or trucks) may have exceeded this)

I wonder how much of the original car was left. 🤔

Major Work & Maintenance Done Over the Years:

1. Regular oil changes every 3-5k miles
2. Engine Rebuilds – Despite the high miles, the car reportedly only had two engine rebuilds:
• First at 680,000 miles
• Second at 2.7 million miles
3. Transmission Rebuilds – The manual transmission lasted incredibly long but was rebuilt twice.
4. Rear Axle Replacement – Done at 1 million miles.
5. Routine Parts Replacements – Alternators, water pumps, timing chains, and other wear-and-tear components were replaced as needed.
6. Original Body & Chassis – The car’s frame and body were original, though well-maintained.

Welcome to Bimmerpost!

You may want to post this in the appropriate on-topic Z4 forum section for your E85/E86 model, and not the off-topic section where few Z4 owners will see it:

In addition, there is a "Classic BMW (Pre-2005 Models)" section where as I type this the #3 post is about a 2004 Z4 with turn signal and window problems as another section to post/check for your specific car:

fcpEuro is my go-to for anything I might have to buy more than once (brake pads/rotors, single-use bolts, wiper blades; some people even return motor oil and other fluids).
