How are you passing time and staying entertained during the pandemic?

Watched Score last night. Perhaps as someone whom has worked in music production I'm biased, but I thought this documentary was spectacular.

Since my 2020 M2C *should* show up next week (here's hoping), I've been amusing myself by having a "last hurrah" of parts buying before the budget gets redlined.

Here's what's waiting for the car:

- Acexxon no-drill universal front lip protector
- Automotive Passion Front arch guards
- BMS replica 95mm black chrome exhaust tips
- BMS short-throw clutch stop
- BavSound Ghost underseat subwoofers
- BavSound Stage One speaker upgrade
- BMW e90 “non-CDV” slave cylinder
- BMW European aspheric side mirrors
- BMW European sun visors
- BMW M3/M4 intake parts
- BMW M Performance CF steering wheel trim
- BMW M Performance front floor mats
- BMW M Performance indoor car cover
- BMW M Performance rear floor mats
- BMW soundproofing parts (left 7 right door seals, hood insulation pad, left & right side covers, left & right trunk insulation, left & right rear wheel housing insulation)
- BMW spline style wheel locks
- Goodridge stainless braided brake lines
- IND driver’s side door lock cover
- IND front & rear reflector delete kit
- IND painted (SOM) side marker set
- IND silver ignition bezel
- Mishimoto baffled oil catch can
- TechnicPNP ASD bypass cable
- Rust-Oleum High Heat primer & paint for exhaust
- VTT crank bolt capture kit

That'll pretty much do me-- I always like to "personalize" anything I have with wheels. I'll order the AutoSolutions SSK once I figure out where I want to put the shifter height.

Not me, but I imagine a lot of America

Focusing on the controllables exclusively. And a healthy dose of overall self maintenance.

Also installing speakers in my trunk just for fun - I find revisiting old music very enjoyable lately.

Music is kind of the best medicine.

Trying to keep things normal by keeping my car clean. Twice a week, I go over her with Meguiar’s Ultimate Quick Detailer. It makes me feel better, gets me out of the house for a bit, and I love a clean car!

I haven’t seen it yet, but as a violinist who has played on over 1200 major motion pictures I probably should! Thanks for the reminder.

LOVE that model, especially in black, like yours.

I almost went for a CPO deal a year or so ago, but it was RWD only and I wanted AWD.

Jekyllmd · 04-03-2020, 09:37 PM

Just sayin

So. Much. Yard work.

Took the old ('06) X3 to the shop on Wednesday, rode my bike home (~6 miles). I will ride back today to pick it up. If it warms up (37 right now) I'll take a longer route.

Drove to Santa Barbara for a cup of coffee. Then back to LA. It was glorious!

Offhand I'd say those cops don't have enough to do.

But "totality of circumstances" usually means they wrote her up for something a lot less expensive than they could have. There was a vehicle code violation that began it, maybe the car was in bad repair. Or maybe she mouthed off to them. But that "totality" thing makes me want to know the full story.

vreihen16 · 04-04-2020, 07:03 PM

DUI, and they didn't want to do the breathalizer test or transport her?????

aozer · 04-04-2020, 08:15 PM

walking, a lot. taking the dog for a walk around the park 4 or 5 times a day. most days i am averaging over 15k steps.

also, weed. a lot of weed (through means other than combustion as i am not trying to add any stress to my lungs by smoking).

I mean, stay at home means.... stay at home.

At this point I'm beginning to think if we have a total national lockdown, more ppl will die from sitting at home than the damn virus itself. Like is it really that fuckin hard people to listen?

It's hard, I get it. But if everyone listened we'd be in a much better situation.
