I - father and husband of the year - will start.

LOL.....good Post....subscribed.

I used to have that faucet, and my kids have most of those cups too. If my wife caught me doing that I'd be dead father of the year!

I'm single and the only problem I see, you need a larger sink.

TGTIW · 05-26-2017, 08:14 AM

Yeah, you're out of your mind putting that in your kitchen sink. That's clearly a bathtub job.

Love the tags on this thread... "kids dishes, sad, wife not home..." LOL!

You guys know the dishwasher isn't just for dishes...

One morning before work, I soaked my VANOS solenoids in acetone in a coffee mug on the kitchen counter.

I have a driveway behind my house but I choose to park outside my bedroom window so I can keep an eye on the car. I say I don't love my E93, but I kind of dote over it.

Perfect.

Wait until wifey gets a hold of that picture. Your going to be " dead man walking."

Not as bad as the guy who use the kitchen oven to cure DYI powder paint car parts then found out the oven can never be used for food again due to the toxins now in the oven. The story did end well for the wife she got a new stove.

My wife has given up on even complaining about the relationship limiting acts of stupid I have pulled, like painting a car parts in the garage and the house filling with paint fumes.

lab_rat · 06-01-2017, 12:58 AM

I have a set of wheels and a Blackbird Fabworx GT3 rollbar delivered for my Miata...all still sitting in the foyer.

I'll move it tomorrow to the garage for the install this weekend, but my wife doesn't complain about where it sits. She's a keeper I guess.

CTinline-six · 06-01-2017, 11:10 AM

I saw a kid probably 16-18 years old in an auto parts store recently wearing a BMW hat and BMW shirt. Sure enough there was an older lowered e46 with black wheels in the parking lot.

If people can tell what you drive without you being near the car itself, that is a sign it has taken over.

Did you move the old oven to the garage for the next project?

As a child, every week when my mom was out grocery shopping my father put the ornate wire wheel Buick hubcaps in the dishwasher. She never knew.

What does brake dust taste like? Do you sprinkle some onto your food to this day?

Try it, you might like it.

First step is recognizing the problem..

but for N54 owners,, there's rarely a step 2.
