Addison update - we got some hail for about 20 seconds and it was VERY small...after that the rain and the hail stopped..I wouldnt be surprised if the sun came out in another hour or so..
Storm Chasers is awesome! I'm still waiting for the IMAX guy to get caught in a tornado trying to get his film shot and get tossed around in the process. That would be total FAIL, but good footage.

No hail in Denton, just some brief heavy rain. Just cloudy now.

This is a pretty cool radar from NOAA to get a good look at the country.

My passenger window motor decided to quit working yesterday after the window was all the way down of course, anyway taking the panel and everything else apart was easier than I thought.

Yep - its simple - did you just get a replacement from OREILLY? Hope you didnt spend new prices at the stealership.. They like to do RAPE dance there..

They're supposed to be delivering sometime after 2, $128 and lifetime warranty can't beat that.

I just hate walking in the rain trying to jump over the puddles so your pant legs dont get all wet and soggy
I hate that...that's why I fold up the bottom of my jeans up and walk around fob style to destination..and unfold them.

G37 hands down -

Bimmer...well if you decide on that - make sure you get warranty - service is awesome but you will get to know the guys there since you will be going so much..

That's a really tough choice for me. Something about the G37 has grown on me. However, the 335i can make good power with simple mods if you want to. In the end, I would probably stay in the Infiniti family. The reliability issues is what turns me away.
How's the hail now? My FX better be in the garage or in my dad's underground parking at work! And he better not drive to lunch in it, if he took it to work.

nothing really. i bought it because i use to haul a bunch of stuff for the restaurant but everything is being delivered now so i dont need all the space the ep3 offers. now i just want a sporty yet plush ride for my daily. getting in and out of the Z is a pain in the *** with the brides. but man they are awesome. you feel all the feedback the car is giving you and holds you snug in the seat. the driving experience gets even better with them. i found a 07 335i with factory installed and warrantied dinan flash and exhaust making 380hp, 38k on the od for 26k. not bad. i'd buy extended warranty if i were to buy it.
