that rent-a-cop security guard seemed pretty suspicious too !
Remember when they both just sat there in the car for a while, not doing anything.

I think they were casing the box.

I did see them munching on donuts just before we all left.
They must of gotten the money, ran to Winchell's, snuffed the box, and then came back to rub it in our face !!

Yeah, seriously. Wanna get that oil leak fixed first though. After that I'll get the engine bay detailed. I think it should be ready by the November Maguaiar's meet.

Here's some of the pictures I took at the meet.

1) ryhi's W202, just in case anybody was curious about what the lights were all about.

2) The tailpipes on an M3, don't know who the owner was. I always love that "heat-treated" look.

3) The M5 lurking in the background, ready to attack. The engine was running and everything, too. :p

Here are pictures of slowsupraTT's car. Love the stereo setup. Very clean, and the lighting works very well.

that actually makes sense. you see the security guards probably have connections higher up. so they have access to stage an accident. if you remember the accident was about 45 - 60 min prior to them returning eating the donuts, sitting and snearing in the car. here's what i think happened.

1. they cruise by first, spot the box and come up with a plan.

2. accident hasbeen staged to distract all of us.

3. box is taken

4. money taken and made into large denominations. most likey 2 quarters, 1 dime, a nickel and 2 pennies. bypass krispy kreme because they are watching their sugar intake and winchelles is cheaper.

5. dounuts are bought and then they sit in the parking lot, near your car and rub it in, they are eating your donations. to make things worse, they then write up bryan for drifting in the parking lot.

But a "J"-shaped tire mark doesn't count as a donut...

Seriously though, that was a close call. Thanks to Wiedermann for bailing me out of that one.

The black M3 SMG is my friend's/Fred's car. That's a GruppeM titanium exhaust that weights about 16lb which you can hold it up w/ 1 finger.

exactly ! It was all part of their cynical scheme.
They were dropping hints but not giving too much away.
They got close, but not too close.
Called it a donut, but it really wasn't.

The whole thing was one huge deception scam, and when they had us looking at someone's rear-end ...

baammm !! :v they took the box !

Well, I got the e-mail today. So I'm placing a deposit, or just paying in full now via PayPal, and then I'll get them shipped here in 2 weeks or so, and have him install in mid-September along with my EuroCOMAND.

I guess if I get them delivered, I could install them myself, but fearing complete electrocution (remember, I still do not how to splice a wire), I would then have the dealer do it, but why pay $180 when the price includes installation by the GURU himself. So I'll just wait til he gets here.
I think he's got the computer to set XENON=PRESENT as well, so I don't have to go bake cookies for my Service Advisor.
