i have family friends who had thier brand new 2008 bmw x5 stolen last year... only solution is flatbed, bmw security systems are supposed to be invincible! so if they really want the car... they will take it i remember reading years ago this show s14 was taken from a performance mechanic shop in the middle of the night, the thieves broke in, bypassed the shops security, then moved 6 cars and stole the s14

nah... i'd rather pay a few hundred to replace an ipod and a window or lock then have a car stolen, its not as nice as you think, you get investigated by insurance company, they take thier sweet time to pay you, after making you feel like a criminal... and then you pay $$$$$ more to insure your next car because of the theft claim, no one to blame.. so you loose the rating. not to mention having to find yourself a new car! no thanks, ... having said that...i would also hate my car to be broken into, not nice... especially around christmas time! sorry to hear mate

EPA emmision testing is expensive, but its funny how it works also.... in saying this a 'performance modified car' will always be scruitinised when it comes to epa laws... and as ash said, they will just claim you have changed it since the testing~! in saying that, a small example of how it is pure shit is just this... My girlfriends father is a licenced AAFRB gas fitter and has been in the business of gas conversions since the AAFRB was first established, anyways... he converted my step dads Mitsubishi 380 to dual fuel (put it on gas)... as it turned out he could not buy a kit from any of the suppliers (parnel, eurogas, impco etc) none of them had a kit for the mitsub 380 as none had been legally converted, tested and approved at that time... so as a test bunny my step dads 380 was the first official 380 to be put on injected gas, the conversion was done, custom brackets made up for the converter etc and all documented, the car was then sent to sydney on a truck by eurogas to be epa tested so the new kit could be approved and made commercially available to anyone else wanting to convert a 380 to injected gas. the test was payed for by eurogas, transport costs etc all covered, was all good.... however the dyno tuning that my girlfriends dad had done on the car to get it running beautifully had to be all altered by eurogas when they sent it up to meet the emmision tests so it would pass... how ever the car ran like shit, had flat spots etc etc etc once altered for the test...... in a nut shell the conversion kit for that car was all passed through australian emmission standards once the test was performed up in sydeny.. cost eurogas a fair ammount of money.. but now the kit has all been approved.... however when the car was sent back down, eurogas loaded the origainal maps that my girlfriends dad had created back onto the gas computer and even used them as a base map in the new computers going in the kit.. so it all goes to show how things like this are not regulated, but will never get scruitinised once complied... but perfomance cars such as skylines would just get defected and told that the test is no longer valid.... a cop would never question an approved gas conversion though!

i dont care what you do, just dont kill me or anyone i love as for your car issues... if the vibration happens while at high speed, check wheel balancing or wheel bearings. if the vibration happens while you are braking from high speed get your disk rotars checked for being warped or uneven pad wear.

if the pads are as meaty as you say and the rotars are that worn.. i would surely get rid of the pads too as they are eating your disks! and probably too harsh.... sounds to me like you are running something like bendix ultimates.... they squeal like hell and eat rotars for breakfast lunch and tea!

i was once in a back street in Eltham (outer suburbs) anyways, had to move the car out of the driveway quickly so someone else could leave.. moved it out on the street, went inside for 5 -10 mins.. came back out side to move it back into the drive way after the person had left... recived a parking fine during that 5 -10 mins for (not facing dirrection of traffic) WTF? - not really justified,... just a quick cash grab

hey mate, i grew up around "dog hotels" (boarding kennels) my parents owned one for 25 years, and i lived on site for 12 years, this idea that the dogs are not looked after and miss treated is crap! the dogs are kept in pens where they can choose to interact with the other dogs in their own run, or choose to keep to them selves in thier own kennel many of the boarding kennels also walk the dogs and give individual attention on a daily basis so dont assume that your dog is not in good hands, these people are professionals, and know how to look after your precious k9
