What does that cost to do and how long does it last? I never wash my cars and they look terrible.

I originally had Opticoat Pro on it but Burrard Acura missed my instruction to not wash my car and did a real number on the coating so they paid to have it redone and I went with Crystal Serum Ultra instead.
Has a 9 year warranty though that doesn't mean it won't pick up swirls for 9 years, just that the coating will still be there protecting the paint. I expect to have it work well for 5-6 years before I have it redone as I hate swirls.
There's less expensive products out there that will last 2-3 years and you can even do it yourself if you can do a paint correction yourself.
Opticoat Pro was very good but Crystal Serum Ultra has been fucking amazing so far.

So here it is, my new to me 2004 330i ZHP Sedan - 6 Speed with the optional Alcantara Pkg. Will need a little cosmetic exterior love but the mechanicals are mint as is the interior. Looking forward to getting out on the back roads again this summer!  | Nice! Guessing it is a USA import as "real" ZHP were only delivered to USA.
Make sure you change the cooling system  | |

Make sure you change the cooling system | It's Canadian, saying ZHP is just more recognizable by people than saying M Performance PKG - ZAM lol Quote:
Originally Posted by twitchyzero if your m3 was 4-door would you have preferred it over the e46? | The E9x is such a different animal so it's tough to compare, the S65 is an insane powerplant...once you get it up into the RPMs. Above 4k it's would be tough to find something better than the S65. Down low it was a pain to drive around town (same reason a lot of people prefer the 335i around town over the M3). Once I drive the e46 around more I'll be able to give a better answer but so far it's nimble and go-kart like around town which is refreshing, handling is fantastic and hides it's weight better than the e92 did.

I have a problem..3rd vehicle pickup in the past month
Edit: Sold the Legacy Wagon to a bunch of kids that reminded me of myself at 19 for 700$. I hope she goes to a good home and they hoon the hell out of her
This is Fiona, the $300 Ford Ranger fishing/camping/trail rig. 2.4L 4 cylinder single cab with the fun front bench seat where you have to reach into your passenger's crotch to change gears. It could be useful on dates in a non-creepy/appropriate way (when dating is allowed again ffs..) 
This is Vivienne, the $500 Yamaha Virago XV535

The last couple of weeks of my life have been bad. Here's one of the nails in my faithless coffin.
Two upsides:
1) I think I know the issue with the car but we'll wait until the new parts go in and see what happens
2) This car doesn't start but it does start conversations. A few of people asked me about it (1 being the truck driver who loved it). They thought it was new or newer. I tell them the year and their jaws drop
I haven't smiled in awhile. Record broke. Felt good.

It’s a odd time we live in, when your 20 year old supercharged American cars are more reliable than the Japanese one
