belts, spoons, hairbrushes, blood, judgment, expectation, justification, invalidation, magical thinking will do it every time.
Jeffy will kill me like the Mormon Jesus would kill me.
He is winning the culture war you know.
My neighbor just called the cops and made a criminal complaint for a "CPS Terrorist Threat".
In California to leave a scary phone message as evidence can have the cops arrest you for a felony terror threat in having someone 'scared' of a threat.
Soooooo in a converation I told my neighbor that if he and his wife ever abandoned his kids in a locked room (door knob on backwards) while they were away doing business ... I was going to call CPS (Child Protection Services) and the Sherriff for them to come down and witness how they take care of their children.
When the cops came to my house, I repeated the Terror Threat, that I would call CPS in the event of witnessing Child Abuse ... and offered my hands up to be handcuffed. Make an appointment with the DA, a Judge and a Jury and have my neighbors on the witness stand about how I want to CPS terror threat them.
The cop ... let me go ... did not take me up on my offer, and said he has to talk to the Mrs Neighbor Lady again.
They hate me, they are bible thumpers, they are not fit to raise children.
Mr Neighbor Man tassed a steel ladder over the fence two nights ago.
I had the cops there, mentioned the Sonoma County Gang Task Force arrest Mr Neighbor Man has for "impeding the proper conduct of police business" .. he apparently got in the face of a cop one night. I said I would witness for the Sonoma Sheriff Dept on this case in going to Motive and going to Behaviour as this guy is a hot head, and the cop arrest was a good one, and send this to a conviction.
No reply from the cops yet ... but they are looking into the Jesus freak and his wife now. She is a nurse ... Jonestown ready.
I pitty people like that ... such a horrible childhood to become that way.

Oh oh. Jeffy Strickland will happily tell you how you will burn in hell. 8) Did you know that he *actually* believes that the Earth is, like, 10,000 years old?

I used to believe in the Tooth Fairy, Santa Clause, a Flat Earth and a Jealous God the Father who makes babies with His daughters and manifest as talking fire, smoke, serpent staff, insects, pestilence, bog creatures, darklight, and mass casuality child killing airs.
Lord of the Flys are who they pray to these Grim Pills.
I grew up and have no beliefs now ... waste of time.

Sorry, no 40MPG for you.

> An E39 528i that pulls 40mpg is non-existent (unless you count only downhill > runs ... there are some mountain descents that can probably yield 60 mpg), it also does it at 35 mph in fifth gear ... just idle at that speed once it is established for as long as the terrain cooperates being flat. otherwise the 528i as you know can really suck gas with all those expensive race car parts in it .. which is how it provides the gas milage ... better technology.

An E39 528i that pulls 40mpg is non-existent (unless you count only downhill runs ... there are some mountain descents that can probably yield 60 mpg), but enjoy your delusion. The transmission is never out of the drivetrain unless you put it there, but the coast down capability of the auto trans and the ECU will do remarkable things and can actually improve upon idle + out of gear.

I am pushing a 528i 2000 series down the highway ... using synthetic oil of course.
My factory trained teck has me come in every 5K miles or 6 months which ever comes first.
Waiting a bit of time is not a problem for you especially since you do not drive it all that much and you have rather good lubrication the crankcase, it is one of the reasons why you have such good gas mileage.
Synthetic in the transmission and rear end ... with a BMW puter moving the cylinders it sets to idle speeds the engine RPM and slips the transmission out of the drive train at 80 mph if the road conditions allow (down hill).
It is a little more pricy then a standard oil change given the quality of the products you have to use ... but I think they pay for themselves in mileage. It is easy for me to get 40 mpg highway. Can't wait for the infinity gear transmission to come out. BMW leaders on that one as well.

Today I phoned my local BMW agent for an oil change on my X 5. I put less than 5K miles a year, I do an extra oil change (before the inspection lights come on). The earliest date they could give me in September 28, that is more than a month away...I realize oil change is not an urgent repair, but one month is a little long to wait?
What are the experiences of this group?
