This had me laughing. Today while running an errand, I am about to pass a black BMW 750 IL. Since I just got done reading about the new 7 series, I was actually looking at the lines of this car when I noticed, just to the left of the 750iL logo was an M logo. That REALLY had me cracking up. Then I saw the driver and I had to chuckle some more. It was this late 50's, early 60's lady who had her nose in the air and had this look like she just new everyone was jealous of her M750iL! Just goes to show, just because you got money doesn't mean you got taste or sense.

i saw a nissan Pulsar with an ABS sticker on it today. Apparently ABS doesn't stand for Anti-locking Braking System for that car... it was black, lowered and had huge dual exhausts (only one side worked i am sure) plus......gold wire wheels.... CITY RIDE!

M750IL...duh!

She was probably on her way to shop for some new wheels for her house.

I use to work for AMG and we had a ton of these people come in. Putting 600SL on a 300SL or a C32 on a C230 with the full AMG kit. But the one I liked was a customer came in with a S600 and wanted to put S320 on the back. I had to ask him why, and he said he loved the car, but he wanted people to think he was driving the cheaper car so they would not think he made as much money as he did. When I heard why I just did it for free, I had so many S320 badges and I was getting a S600 badge in return, plus I thought that it was pretty interesting why he wanted it.

The S600 - S320 badge swap ... That's what I call smart. Indeed, people will know the real thing when they see the car anyway regardless of the badges, decals or emblems. Hmm, maybe we should try to get an S800 badge in exchange for an S2000 badge instead. Keeps the car low profile, hah!

Well the topic is rice right? So you know how when you buy rice in maybe 25 lb. bags, you have to unzip the string on top to open the bag, and if you cut it right the string unzips in one piece. How come there never seems to be instructions on how to cut the string?

For those of you who eat Uncle Ben's, ignore this post. Thanks.
